Have you raced an indoor 1/2 marathon lately, how about a 5k?? What about a marathon?

The 2012 Icebreaker Indoor 1/2 marathon and Marathon are fast approaching and are set to go off the weekend of Jan 20-22.  There is also a 5k and a very fun but yet totally competitive marathon relay.  All the races are at the Pettit National Ice Center in West Allis, WI on the 450m oval and race spots are filling up fast so check it out.

The atmosphere, time of the year, and overall race buzz this weekend creates is amazing in the city.  You can feel the electricity in the building as the races are going on and all the action is right in front of you. It is great to see fan clubs of runners being able to cheer on mom, dad, or family memeber the entire race.  Another great part about the weekend is that wherever you are in your winter training there is a race for you.

There are no excuses to not be doing something hard or of quality in January because the Midwest weather is tough. Get to the Pettit Center for the Icebreaker race weekend.  If you have a chance check out the Pettit Center before race weekend to get a feel of the race surface and know what racing shoes you will be wearing on race day.
