Race Calendar - freeradical.me

I run races for a number of reasons, but mostly it’s an excuse to get out, meeting fellow runners, learning a thing or two and just having a blast exploring new trails. When it comes to running, I’m definitely a late bloomer. Every step, every run, every race feels an adventure and I continue to be amazed how resilient the human body really is. Besides, I love aid stations in races, since that lets me cover big distances without having to backpack! Here’s my race calendar starting from my very first run in 2012, the San Francisco Half Marathon.
