I started a blog last year at seattlerun.ning.com for individuals who are interested in road races in the Seattle area. That was to be an extension of my calendar of running events — my Running Events Calendar.
Wanting to improve the usability of my site, I decided to go with the crowd and start a blog on this very popular WordPress platform. So feel free to add comments to this WordPress site or the Seattlerun.ning site. I will take the liberty of sometimes copying contributions from one site to the other, and I may also quote them on the Events Calendar site.
Why do I even have a Running Events Calendar? A few years ago, I took up walking. Then I advanced to running. And then I wanted to know when and where the next running events were. So I would search major running websites and locate information and perhaps register for an event.
So many times, I would locate some information and later want to come back and get more information, or to register. But alas, where did I find that information? I couldn’t. How frustrating.
So I decided to make my own listing to help myself and to help other runners who have the same predicament. Hopefully, it has been a benefit to the community, and also to runners who are wanting to visit Seattle and are looking for running events.
Later, I expanded the calendar to include running events from throughout the state of Washington. Check it out, find a run, and take delight in registering for as many runs as you wish!
Thank you for reading… and hopefully contributing to my blog…
