Weekend Outlook

The two big 13.1/26.2 local(ish) marathons of this weekend are the Richmond Marathon (Saturday) and the OBX Marathon (Sunday). And, in case you can still walk and didn't get your fair share of racing last weekend, here are some to choose from:

• Run for History (Sat. @ 9AM, Hillsborough)
• 2012 KWayne 5k (Sat. @ 9AM, American Tobacco Trail)
• The Race Home 5k (Sat. @ 8:30AM, Durham)
• Urban Dare Raleigh (Sat. @ 12PM, Tir na nOg)
• Raleigh Fall Festival 5k/10k (Sun. @ 1:30PM, Raleigh)

So, as you've all probably heard by now, the New York City Marathon was canceled last weekend because of SuperStorm Sandy. And, even though many runners were quite disappointed, they decided not to waste the trip and helped in the relief effort.
