I'm 31 and have run Bloomsday 11 times and a few other races 4-5 times. I'm guessing there are people here that have done some race dozens of times? What annual race have you done the most? And maybe include your age, for comparison.

I can only think of two races I ran all four years in college
I've run a 10k all six years they have had it. Won it the first 3 years.
I just won a race that I last ran 31 years ago. I got 2nd that year though my time was much faster.
The first road race I won was in 1982. Last year I came in second, again with a much slower time than 32 years ago.
I'm 25 and this year will be the 12th time I've done a race in my hometown. Hoping some older dudes chime in with numbers 25+. Kinda cool when you think about it.
In my early 50s, and I've run the same trail race 17 times (every year of its 17 in existence). The running club that puts on this particular race has done a trail race on the same June weekend every year since the club's inception, but the course/distance/name of the race has been changed a few times for various reasons. If I count the annual June races as essentially being the same event, then I've run it 29 times.
I'm 27 and I've done my alma mater's XC kickoff 9 consecutive times (4 on the team, 5 as an alum). This Labor Day weekend, I'll make it 10 times. I might even be able to PR this year.
this year will make 53 in a row at Manchester for Amby Burfoot...who also won it nine times
I've run the local turkey trot 40 years in a row. I joke that the only I did at 15 that I still do at 55 is run that damn thing,
Boston 15 or 16

I started running the thanksgiving day race when I was 13 and have no plans of stopping the tradition.

I'm 30 and will have run my hometown 5k race 17 years in a row in 2 weeks. I'll have done every one they've had.
Set the course record when I was 19
This August will be my 25th Crim ten mile race in Flint , Michigan. Awesome run...
I am 64 and have done the Jed Smith (Sacramento CA) 50 kilometers/50 miles 19 times starting in 1979 and most recently in 2014.

I included the word "annual" so that no one could make that joke. BOOM preempted.
My record is 8 of the same half marathon.
I'm 38, and have been running off & on for about 13 years.

Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
