A great way to stay motivated when while running is to make a goal to run a race in your city. Here are some ways to find a local race in your area.
1. Ask what races are around on Facebook. Chances are you have friends that run. They don't have to be crazy elite runners, but they run to stay in shape, challenge themselves, or just to be a little competitive. Once you make the post, some will reply with either races they have done, or ones they are planing to do. Then others will let you know of races they've heard of.
2. Ask a local running shop. In most cases, the people that work at running shops are avid runners. By asking them, they will know most of the races that are in or around town. If they are not avail to talk at the time, look around and you are bound to see flyers announcing races around the city.
3. Contact local running group. See if you can join a local running group in the area, these group are usually put on by running shops or clubs. They sometimes will host races themselves, and if they don't, they'll tell you about the races in the area.
4. Google. Try a standard search in your city, for example: 5k's in (city and state). You will find many sites for either the races themselves, or sites that will list the many races in the area.
This is a great start to finding a race to run. If you have any other ways to run a race, post in the comments below, I would ove to hear from you.
