My wife and I decided last year to try and run a race in all 50 states. Not necessarily a marathon in all 50 (for one, I hate the distance), but rather signature / historic race or just generally cool race for a state.
So with that in mind, I need suggestions for races to do. I've raced in 9 states so far:
OH (Columbus Marathon)
IN (Indy Mini)
PA (Erie Marathon)
LA (New Orleans Marathon)
GA (Peachtree)
CA (Double Dipsea - Wow was it hard)
UT (St George Marathon)
WV (Harper's Ferry Half)
VA (Richmond Marathon - Like the history of the city)
Generally the idea is that I go for a bigger race in an interesting city when in doubt (New Orleans, Richmond) or notably big (Indy Mini, Peachtree). With the Double Dipsea in California, I had to pick a race on a weekend I was there for work, and it ended up being a good choice. My wife did Boston this year so she has that one and I don't.
Next summer I was thinking of doing the Bix 7 in Iowa, then trying to hit another state near there the following or preceding weekend.
Ideas please!
