    Registering right now! Just an FYI, the Patriots aren’t in the Super Bowl…it’s the Ravens. ;)

    This actually looks pretty good, I may have to sign up, but do you know if it’s international? Living in the UK does have its setbacks, so I’m just wondering if that’s possible.

    It’ll give me a reason to get a few more running days in, and that’s never a bad thing!

    Sounds great! I’m doing the 5 by the 5th 5k that weekend too, so I’ll count it for both, if that’s okay with you… :)

    I signed up for the entire series with 5k distances. I am positive I am running a 5k in February. For the later races, if I decide to change distances, will that be allowed? I am really enjoying the 13 in 2013. 1 race completed, 12 to go!

    This is great!!
    Question: Are we allowed to double dip? For example: We have a race scheduled sometime between now and then and want to use that race time as our entry for the Tackle the Miles time?

      Hi Beka. Do you mean counting the one run as 2 of your 13? Sorry if I’m misunderstanding. Of course it’s totally up to you but the ultimate goal is to actually run 13 races. Double dipping will only be 12 in the end right? The challenge is about the run, fun, motivation to stay active, and commitment :)

    FUN! If my foot is healed and I get dr’s clearance when I go in, I’ll try run/walking a 5k! Well, it probably will be mostly walking as I get my mobility back in my foot/ankle, but even 10 feet of running sounds amazing right now.

      I have a 20 miler and somehow I will turn part of it into my Tackle the Miles. I’m rotating short distances with practicing eating (for endurance) so maybe one of the “laps” will be my virtual portion. It won’t go toward my goal of 13 trail races but it will be fun anyway. Besides I can’t not run my first time hosting a virtual :)

    Quick question: for the points: It says to post a picture on our blog by 1/13? Did you mean 2/13?

    I’ve signed up! I’m excited! But I have a question! It says that “Official race bibs will be available before 1/30″. Are those emailed to us or are they located somewhere that I’m not seeing?
