The Runner’s Bucket List Review & Giveaway

The wonderful thing about nursing is that it allows me quiet time with my baby, to {sometimes relax} and even on the rare occasion – Read! When I was offered the chance to read, review {and giveaway!} The Runner’s Bucket List: 200 Races to Run Before You Die by Denise Malan, I jumped at the chance!

I love a good race. And I really love this amazing list of great races in this book!

The Runner’s Bucket List is written by avid runner and journalist Denise Malan and is the perfect book for runners at all levels who are searching for the world’s greatest—and most unique—running adventures, the races that all enthusiasts should seriously consider participating in before they hang up their shoes.

Included among the 200 one-of-a-kind races:

• The Midnight Sun Run in Fairbanks, Alaska, celebrating the summer solstice and 24-hour sunshine with a race in the daylight during the middle of the night
• The Children’s TLC Groundhog Run in Kansas City, an indoor 5K/10K in the SubTropolis – the world’s largest underground business complex
• The Fat Ass 5K, which includes stops for beer, ice cream, doughnuts and corn dogs throughout this Springfield,Illinois trek
• The Berserkr Games in Ricardo, Texas, which feature a helicopter-drop start, 44 obstacles per loop, and muddy and sandy terrain

Have you ever thought about running a 5K naked or getting the all-time biggest marathon finisher’s medal? How about running five miles while eating a dozen donuts or chugging down a few beers? Or maybe you’d prefer running a half marathon in paradise or a 5K dressed as a gorilla? Whatever your dreams, runner and traveler Denise Malan has written the perfect book for everybody who is searching for America’s greatest—and craziest—running adventures: the races that all enthusiasts should seriously consider running before they die. She gives the inside scoop on 200 truly unique races around the United States, covering distances from one mile to ultramarathon.

I’ve share with you before on the blog My Marathon {Wish} List – and even though I’m not marathon training at this time, there are still some great runs out there I would love to do – and after reading this book, I’m adding a few more to my list!

The wonderful folks at Triumph Books have offered up THREE COPIES of The Runner’s Bucket List to THREE LUCKY And Her Little Dog Too Readers!
