The 4th Annual My Best Runs 100 World Best Races for 2020 have been announced
It was made official today (Dec 26) the 100 Best Races in the World. The editors at My Best Runs lead by MBR and Runner's World magazine founder Bob Anderson considered thousands of races; Races that are the best, most interesting and unique. Races that if you can get into won't let you down.
"There are well over 100,000 official running races around the world," stated Bob Anderson from his office in Mountain View California, "and these are our 100 of the best. It was very hard to only pick 100 since there are many more I know I would enjoy to run or at least watch."
Bob Anderson is going to be 72-years-old on the 28th has run over 1000 races (including time trials) since he started racing in April of 1962. He still races and in fact won his age-group in winning the second half at the San Francisco marathon and placed third in his age-group at the London Vatility 10k last May. In 2012 he ran 50 races, 350.8 miles and averaged 6:59 pace. His My Best Runs website and the UjENA Fit Club website keeps him and his team plugged in to the current racing scene.
"We did not consider races which are more local in nature. Even through I love local races we only considered races that are international in scope. A race if you travel too, you would not be disappointed.
"With our nearly 80,000 unique visitors monthly from countries around the world, we considered all races around the planet," says Bob Anderson. "Some of these races are very hard to get into. But not impossible. If you can get in, these all would be a good racing experience for you. I hope to run more of these myself."
We would love to get your feedback on these races and recommendations for 2021. Post your comments or email Bob Anderson at bob@mybestruns.com
