RHS Inaugural Milk Mile
Robertsdale, Alabama - February 15, 2013
1 of 8
Ever wonder how many laps you could run with a belly full of milk in your tummy? Here's your chance. The RHS track team is hosting this unique race to help raise funds to cover its annual expenses. The race will be run in heats based on age groups and estimate mile time. Runners will drink 8 ounces of milk, chocolate or white, prior to each lap. A one-lap penalty will be issued to those who, ahem, can't keep the milk down.

There's nothing quite like starting the day running. That is, unless you also get to help others at the same time. The Brianna Marie Foundation will hold its first 5K race in Wickham Park to help raise funds to support and fund research for the care and treatment of children, specializing in the area of fetal medicine.
Wickenburg's First Annual Wild West 5K/10K Run

The town of Wickenburg is one hour—and a world away—from the bustling metropolis of Phoenix. The run will take participants along the bike path and surrounding landscape of the historic mining town. Get into the Western spirit while you're there and don a cowboy hat or even boots to the race.

Prepare for a hilly course with a total gain of 2,000 feet and total loss of 2,600 feet of elevation.

Denver, Colorado - August 3, 2013

Participants run through hot zones and "drenched" zones, where you may encounter slip n' slides, fire-hose spray, sprinkler zones and spectator "sniper zones." The Drenched 5K event is making its way to cities across the U.S., including Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, Kansas City, Los Angeles and Washington D.C.
Unicoi State Run to Helen Back
Helen, Georgia - March 16, 2013
