I did the Ragnar Madison to Chicago and really enjoyed it. I can't find many more that aren't out west. Anyone know of a good relay race in the Midwest this fall? Preferably 5-6 person and 100-mile?

Not MidWest but beautiful, difficult - the Blue Ridge Relay
If Colorado counts as midwest, there are several. The Wild West is early August goes from Fort Collins to Steamboat. Really well run-wonderful course. Kind of a forgotten part of Colorado (and touch of Wyoming)
Epic goes from Canon City to Crested Butte. Late July. Not as big as the others, but nice. 1st half kind of deserty, 2nd half more alpine. Only run it once, but going again this year.
Colorado Relay was taken over by Ragnar. They have ruined it. They've changed the course-now goes from Breckenridge to Aspen. I've run it 9 times-twice on the new course (which is mostly bikepath/frontage road 100 feet from an Interstate. I'll never run it again as long as Ragnar owns it.
Flaming Foliage-Is new this year. Operated by the same outfit that does the Wild West Relay. Course is Idaho Springs to Buena Vista. 1st half of the course is the old COlorado Relay course-over Georgia Pass into Summit COunty. From Copper Mountain, heads south through Leadville to Buena Vista. I'm excited.
I have a team in the Epic and the Flaming Foliage.
