Goofy Challenge-like alternatives

I'm fat and out of shape and in need of a goal.  I'm likely to sign up for the Goofy challenge, but it is $365 (plus hotel!).  Are there other saturday half, sunday full races out there?

How about a little less than a half and a full on ONE day?

Plenty of 50K races out there -- probably a lot more than the Goofy-syle events. Their food's better, too.

Or there's the Tahoe Triple...  Run the whole circumference of Lake Tahoe over a long weekend!

And welcome back.

Okay, now that sounds like a heck of a lot of fun. As does this.

 Have I mentioned that my brother's moving to Reno?  This might just be on the bucket list.

OK, I have hiked many, many miles around Lake Tahoe.  But I have only scratched the surface of circumnavigating the whole trail.  And I bet there are 10's of 1000's of feet of elevation gain.  At that altitude, that would be way difficult.  Beautiful but difficult.

I have family in Incline Village so I've been to Tahoe, but remind me - there's going to be a lot of hills there, right?  I may have to look into that one.

I think the Tahoe Triple is a real reach for me.  Maybe the half trifecta.  The other problem is it is in early october.  I can't be ready by then, but maybe for next year.  It pushes all my real training into the brutal summer months though.

Still, I like this as a potential.
