I'll second Bloomsday as the best. It's the worlds largest timed road race. What can be better than some 70,000 people running/walking a 12k.
I have to disagree with you there, I recently read that Bay to Breakers is still the largest, though Bloomsday may overtake it soon.
Also, Bloomsday can't be as crazy as Bay to Breakers, and does it have a centipede competition? I don't think so. What's really fun is being the slow man in a centipede! Try running 5-10 seconds a mile faster than your own race pace while attached to 12 guys dragging your ass for the last 2 miles and you'll know what pain really is. Sure is fun afterward drinking free Gordon Biersch in the press tent!
