I'm trying to run a half marathon for each month for 2020 as part of a new year's resolution, which means that I'll probably break it by March. Here's a list of the ones (January to August) that I am interested in running. Although I love NYRR-sponsored races, I'm trying to wean myself off of those races and explore different places on the east coast. Because of a weekly Sunday commitment until May, most of the races will have to be held on Saturday and within close proximity of NYC. I guess that I need to save some coins for travel and race registration.
Most of these half marathons are listed on Halfmarathons.net. If you have any interesting ones that are in the northeast, make a suggestion in the comment box.

June:
I wonder if I should do a special half since I am turning 40 in June.
6/7: Hotlanta Half, Atlanta, GA - This probably will not happen because Atlanta is already hot as hell in March. I hate to imagine how hot it is in freakin June.
6/13: Kraut Half - Philadelphia, PA - "The race is limited to 1,000 runners, so runners thinking of participating are encouraged to sign up early. Following the race, the post-race party will get underway and will feature bratwurst, sauerkraut and German potato pancakes."
July:
7/11: Shoreline Half, Hamlin, NY
7/26: Freedom Fighter Half, Quantico, VA
August
8/16: Tour de Force, Plattsburg, NY - Since Plattsburg is right on the border of Canada, I wonder if I can incorporate a long weekend in Montreal.
8/29: End of Summer Half, Rockaway Park, NY
