Send us a text#205 - 2023 is less than two weeks away so what races do you have planned? If you don't have all your races planned, why don't add in some half marathons? They don't require the intense planning and physical enormity an ultra does, nor do they require miles upon miles of training like a full marathon. You can travel out of town, run the race and be left not completely ruined. That means they're perfect as a destination race! I present 12 half marathons in the US and abroad, one for each month on 2023. Details and links to the races are on the MRTW website! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/
