A Scottish runner is chasing a European record in Nijmegen. A British ultrarunner is 50 miles from a second Grand Slam. And in Kobe, runners will stop to remember a city’s earthquake before setting out on 26.2 miles. Here’s what to watch on 14–15 November.
Richmond has filled all three race distances. The runners and walkers heading for the riverfront include people who have spent months preparing together and people using their bibs to give Richmond’s children a chance to get moving too.
Two Saturday marathons make a good case for looking past the finishing clock. Richmond’s runners are raising money for youth activity, and Charlotte’s official beneficiary is a children’s hospital.
