Looking for a longer road race (something between 10 and 15k) in last weekend of July or first couple weeks of August. Doesn't have to be something crazy huge or competitive like the Utica Boilermaker or Falmouth, but maybe has at least some decent college runner type level of competition. A race that maybe usually has guys running 5:15 ish pace for 15k for example. If anyone knows any good ones or a good web site to search from please share.
Thanks.
Oh and I'm in NY so that'd be optimal, but willing to travel a bit if necessary.

This one typically has some fast people running.
Aug 2 - Yankee Homecoming 10 mi
Newburyport, MA
Depending on the heat, this race can have some good competition.

Agreed. I work in Newburyport but am not running this year.
Typically a couple Africans come up from NYC to race against guys like Pat Tarpy. Nate Jenkins may be racing this year.
Hot summer night race, typically won right around 50 minutes. Kim Smith was 4th last year in 53.
Blessing of the Fleet RR in Narragansett on Friday the 29th always has some good competition.
The John and Jesse Kelley Road Race, 11.6 miles, in New London, CT on Saturday August 6th is a great road race - and it has no entry fee. A lot of college guys will be running this year and the comp is pretty good. Past winners include Johnny Kelley, Amby Burfoot, John Vitale, Justin Gubbins, Tom Fleming, Gavin Coombs, Dave Raunig, Wayne Jacob, and a host of other illuminaries.

Thanks for all the replies. These look pretty good, I'll probably give one of them a go.
