A quiet day on the pipeline means no new races or results to report. But with race season in full swing, there’s plenty to look forward to. Here are the standout events coming up soon.

If you’re ready to race this weekend, two half marathons are on tap for July 18:
- Run Magic City — Birmingham, Alabama. A downtown course through the Magic City’s historic neighborhoods.
- Heatwave Half Marathon - Little Rock — North Little Rock, Arkansas. True to its name, expect warm weather and a flat, fast course along the Arkansas River.
Late July

August is packed with options across the country:

- Anchorage RunFest — Anchorage, Alaska. August 15. A cool-weather escape with views of the Chugach Mountains.

Quick Tip
Note the geographic diversity: from Alaska to Alabama, August half marathons cover nearly every climate. If you’re chasing a PR, look for the flatter courses (Ashland, Goodyear, Heatwave). If you want a challenge, try Riley’s Rumble or Iron Horse.
That’s it for today. Check back tomorrow for new races and results.
