I can't say enough how much fun I have at Blazen Racing events. They aren't expensive, fantastically organized, and run by really friendly people. Additionally, they are run at parks where they encourage you to give back. It's the best of both worlds for me - an opportunity to find new places to go run, and a race that gives back in more ways than one. For this one, I believe they were collecting clothes for underprivileged kids.
The
#doggiedozenraces are a way for a runner like me to spread awareness and raise funds for dogs. I hope to raise $1,200 this year ($100 per race).
For this race, the
Badger Cove race, I had an absolutely fantastic time and rated it a 4.5/5. Highly recommended for anyone interested!

This race is in the hills of Livermore at
Del Valle Park, starting along the lake there. Pretty quickly you hit some pretty powerful hills and you better make sure you've done some training or you'll probably lack in the enjoyment department. The views were stunning and the downhills were really fun. Per usual, the water stations were just what I needed and I blazed into the finish line with a finish of 8 out of 41 in my age group. I was stoked! Snacks galore after the race, and free pictures within 48 hours of the race.
