Every runner chases the dream of running a marathon. The marathon presents a challenge that requires hard work, determination, and focus; and when achieved, it provides great satisfaction and joy. 

BUT have you ever wanted to run a marathon without having to actually run a marathon? With the Summer Series 26.2 you can do just that when you sign up for both 13.1 races at the Sizzling Soles Half-marathon and Summers Done 13.1. Complete both races and we will combine your finish times to give you a 26.2 finish time with a extra set of awards!

PLUS you can save 10% on each race when you sign up for both together using the Summer Series 26.2 Bundle! * You can find the bundle under the main event cards above (click View All Events).

OR, how about an ultra-marathon? Complete all five Fit & Able 13.1 races - a combined total of 65.5 miles! - and again we will combine your finish times for yet another extra set of awards!

* FOR YOUR SAFETY: Please review this information on HYDRATION and HEAT DISORDERS and ensure you have adequately trained for your chosen race distance under these specific climate conditions.
