What's Your Endurance Bucket List?
Quote | Reply
Not sure if this has been asked before, but what endurance races/accomplishments do you hope to do before you kick it?

Mine:

Seven marathons in seven continents, with six of the seven being an Ironman event

Fifty marathons in fifty states

Badwater Ultra

RAAM

Western States 100

Leadville 100 (mountain bike and footrace)

Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard Race

There's a lot more, but I'd be a good half hour typing this out.

Not that long I would have produced a list similar to yours (Badwater, WS100, RAAM) and added Marathon Des Sables.
Now, I do not really have one and currently mostly focus on being out there and the next race (which are a bunch of Fall %Ks & 10Ks)..

I like this topic!

I always wanted to do Escape from Alcatraz Tri and any Ironman. I did both of those this year.

I would say:
London Marathon
Boston Marathon
Kona Ironman

I really like the unique races as well. Always wanted to do the Rekyavik (SP), Iceland marathon.

(the ultramarathons don't tickle my fancy yet)


2010 Races:
Escape from Alcatraz Tri
Ironman Louisville

I have a long term goal to do a sub-9hr IM before I'm 40.

Lots of other "endurance bucket list" boxes to tick on the way, but that's what gets me out the door at the mo'.

Sounds ambitious but by the time I'm ready I'm convinced sub-9 will be the new sub-10 ;)

Kona
Comrades
Pikes Peak - marathon, ascent or double, doesn't really matter
A 100 mile trail run. Any mountain course would do.
Boston
A collection of other assorted marathons too long to list.

The elusive sub 16 5K and 2:35 marathons would be nice, but those are unlikely to happen as I am getting older and I swim and bike too much.

I'm on an ultramarathon kick. I've already done marathons, and I've already done Ironman (6 of them). To top that, I've recently done the Vermont 100. How do I top that?

Arrowhead 135 (running in subfreezing temps)
Badwater 135 (either the race or solo in searing temps)
Hardrock 100 (one of the toughest ultras in North America)
Fulfill the Grand Slam of Ultras (Western States 100, Vermont 100, Leadville 100, and Wasatch Front 100 in same year)
Do a Double Ironman (there are 2 to choose from and I might do one next year)

Some ridiculous fantasy things that I've thought about include running the 2000 mile Appalachian Trail or running across the United States. They probably won't happen, but hey, I can dream right?
