I am flying into LA on April 2nd and leave on the 10th or maybe slightly later. I am looking for a big race to do around that time, something interesting that I will remember.
10k would be ideal but anything from 5k to half marathon.
I'm not exactly elite but have a best of 30.18 and expect to be in similar shape.
I have a free domestic flight so can travel away from LA if necessary.
Thanks.
Cherry Blossom 10 miler in D.C.
monument avenue 10k in richmond, va.
Papa John's 10 miler, March 29t...so not quite early April...but $500 I think to the winner.

Carlsbad 5000
Cooper River Bridge Run, Charleston, SC, 10K, April 5th.
Large and well organized.
ps. The monument avenue 10k is, considered by many, the best road race in the southeast and has a cap at 30,000 participants.
If you're gonna be in low-30 shape for 10k, why not look for an open meet at one of the countless universities in CA... Mt SAC is on the 12th. Plenty of guys there to pull you under 30... Female track athletes & olympic talent make for quite the memorable experience.
Good thinking about Mt sac, thanks. I forgot the track season starts earlier than in Europe. I did a 5000 at the Baldy Castillo meet at AZ State in 2002, was a good standard. In fact I was out of shape and got truly spanked!
Thanks to all those who have replied.
