When I reach the finish line at New Bedford this weekend it will be my 34th Half-Marathon which will make it the 8th most raced distance for me. My top 21 distances raced below, no surprise that 5k leads the list. I guess I could list 5m & 8km together but never have. If I did then that would be the 2nd most common distance race (moving it ahead of 10k).
