By signing up for the 2022 Race for Warmth, you can support this wonderful program and be inspired to get outside in the blustery winter. You can run, walk, or bike; stick to…
We are rounding out the first month of January’s races in this week’s race prep post.

Launching 12/21, we will have a post on Washington Races from January 15-30, 2022. Stay Tuned! We also have a new beautiful FEATURED RACE, the Carlsbad Marathon & Half, just outside of San Diego.…
For my first race of 2020, I was looking forward to something local and lower miles (in case the winter rain was pouring down). It turned out that Race for Warmth in Vancouver was exactly what I was looking for, and more. I avoided checking the weather all week, knowing that this January the snowflakes, raindrops, and sunshines on my weather app have mostly been lies. It was not until the night before that I…

The Clark Public Utilities, Race for Warmth, supports Operations Warm Heart which has provided nearly $2.4 million to over 11,000 customers who are barely making ends meet, but don’t qualify for other government programs that could help them pay their winter bills. This race, now in its 5th year, is…

Sunday could not have been a more fitting day for the Race for Warmth 5K and 10K races. The temperature was a frigid 34 degrees, but that did not keep 950+ runners, countless volunteers, friends, and families from supporting such a worthy cause. When I…
It’s always nice to see a race giving back. Now in it’s 3rd year, the Race For Warmth has teamed up with Operation Warm Heart. This initiative has paid millions of dollars to assist local families with their winter bills. Every dollar of race registration goes directly to Operation Warm Heart – which has raised over $56,000 for local families in the first two year’s events. I participated in the event last year with my kids and had…
