Must plug again for the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, followed by rafting the Chattahoochee, followed by the laser show at Stone Mountain. Nothing more 'merican on the Fourth.
Add in Braves game if they are in town. Of course there was the year I ran P'tree, ate, showered, tailgated and then stayed to watch the Braves in a game that ended around 4am on July 5. Just could not leave!
Others have mentioned most of these but I'll put my plugs in for:
Cooper River 10K (I've done the first two bridges, need to do the new one)
Cherry Blossom 10 Miler
Peachtree 10K
as the big ones
Hog Pen Hill Climb (Helen, GA)
The Bear (Linville, NC)
Ultimate Runner (Winston-Salem, NC)
as the small ones
i kinda like running wrote:
Look into The Bear at Grandfather Mountain in NC. It's a 5 mile race, all up hill, ending at the top of Grandfather (you can see the final ascent during one of the running scenes in Forrest Gump) . It's actually the final 5 miles of the Grandfather Mountain Marathon course.
That is a really tough course. The winning time last year was like 32:20, from a guy I am pretty sure has run under 14 on the track.
The Tom Ausherman Memorial Five Miler in Chambersburg, PA, is a very nice race that I have enjoyed for over 20 years. Free beer afterward and a very fast course.

Agree, these are all terrific, probably don't make the top 10 except maybe Manchester, but are terrific races year after year. I'll add to that with:
Shelter Island 10K
Hyannis Half Marathon
Run Around Cape Ann 25K
Newburyport Homecoming 10M
BAA Half
Southport Thanksgiving 5M
Feaster 5M
There are some good ones here. I particularly like Around Cape Ann and the Newburyport Yankee Homecoming 10 miler...two quintessential New England Races. These are far better experiences than the outrageously crowded Falmouth Road Race.
I know this is a little old and most major races have been mentioned, but wanted to see if anyone has any additional input since this thread ended? Looking to finish the 2019 schedule soon. Thanks!
bAA events in Boston 5km-10km-1/2 m-marathon...run with all your friends and a pack of Kenyans
Vermont city marathon...
New Bedford Half Marathon
Plus others mentioned my other posters
Cherry Blossom 10 mi (Washington DC) is still good. Lottery for 2019 race opens Sat 1 Dec 2018:
