As athletes, we all have that list of races-could be triathlons, marathons, half marathons, even down to 5K’s. What defines these Bucket List races is that great saying we always say, “It’s all about the journey.”
This past weekend we congratulated three Fleet Feeters on their Bucket List Races, all three now have the privilege of marking “Mountain Man” off of their Bucket List. The Bear 5 mile hill climb to the top of Grandfather Mountain, The Grizzly 65 mile bicycle ride including to the top of Beech Mountain, then the world’s “toughest” marathon-The Grandfather Mountain Marathon 26.2 through the Blue Ridge Parkway ending at Grandfather Mountain. We’ll tell their race recaps as they cross that off their bucket list.
Here’s a short list of possible Bucket List Races: Alaska Marathon by cruise shop – cruise through Alaska with 3 races that equal 26.2 miles, Alcatraz Triathlon – swim with the sharks, Beach to Beacon as you run from the beach to the Bay Bridge , Assateaque Assault a triathlon that has you swimming with the wild ponies. Some locals like to say The Knob Hill Climb – 2.5 miles of pure Hill to the top of Howard’s Knob in Boone.
Bucket List races are not about PR’s or even in some cases decent times, it’s all about the journey and how you feel when you cross that finish line. What bucket race is on YOUR list?

Although alaska and alcatraz would be awesome, right now my bucket list includes the winston-salem tri-4-fun next weekend. First race since running of the lights (Tanglewood, NC) last winter and I am looking forward to it a lot.
