The California Half and Full Marathon Series is a series of races throughout California. They create challenges where you try to race a certain number of their races to receive and additional special challenge medal.
I had not given this any thought and had been signing up for races the interested me. But when I took a look and realized that some of the races I had already ran were a part of this series, I decided to be intentional and go for one of their challenge medals. I ended up running seven of their races and received their 7 race challenge medal. It was fun because it took me to some cities I had not been to before and a few of their races were my favorites.
They are now starting series in Oregon and Washington as well!
