Run 48 States

Run­ning in the Fam­ily is going to run all 48 con­ti­nen­tal states!

With the dawn of a new year and a new decade, I’ve launched a new endeavor. I’m going to run through all 48 con­ti­nen­tal states in the USA! And I can’t think of a bet­ter place to kick it off than right here in Corn­ing, NY at the Corn­ing Museum of Glass.

Corn­ing is a great place for run­ning, with scenic views of the Chemung River Val­ley, and lots of trails both through pro­tected forests and along the miles of dykes that line the Chemung River.

Corn­ing is also where the Wine­glass Marathon ends. This fab­u­lous marathon course starts in Bath, NY and fol­lows the river down to Corn­ing, with the fin­ish line right near the Corn­ing Museum of Glass.

5 miles down, ???? to go…

I ran the first leg of my vir­tual run through all 48 states on Jan­u­ary 2^nd, 2010 — head­ing north from the Corn­ing Museum of Glass up towards Watkins Glen, NY. Please check out the Run 48 States infor­ma­tion page to find out more, and fol­low my progress on the Run 48 States Map.

  Add my blog to your blogroll and run through Ann Arbor, Michi­gan. It is a beau­ti­ful col­lege town and we have an annual ¹⁄₂ marathon that is called the Dex­ter — Ann Arbor Run and it is from Dex­ter, Mi fin­ish­ing up in Down­town Ann Arbor! Add Ann Arbor to your route! Good luck and keep run­ning. What a great goal. I will be track­ing your progress.

    Thanks for the com­ment! Ann Arbor is def­i­nitely on the list for when I get to Michi­gan. I’ve actu­ally been there for a brief visit before and thought it was a won­der­ful place. Per­haps you could sug­gest a route through Ann Arbor for me?
