I\'m trying to get a list together of the big races around the country. Races where there is large participation and large crowds. Does anyone have some races they know off hand. Such as Bolder Boulder, Carlsbad 5000, Beach to Beacon,...etc.

Vote for George Bush!
Fontana days 5k in Fontana, CA. Slightly Downhill 5k certified course, big Turnout. It was June 5th this year.
Races I've run that meet your criteria, but I expect you to post your final list on this message board:
Utica Boilermaker 15K, Utica NY (early July)
The Great Race 10K, Pittsburgh, PA (late September)
Cooper River Bridge 10K, Charleston, SC (April I think)
Gasparilla 15K, Tampa Florida (February)
Cleveland Revco 10K/Marathon (Cleveland Ohio (April)
Crazy Eight 8K, Johnson City Tennessee (July)
Peachtree 10K, Atlanta, Georgia (July)
Bellin 10K in Wisconsin draws about 10,000 I think.
Where is the fastest spring marathon before June 20th?
What are some of the biggest races in North America?
Where does the Vancouver Sun Run place?
Thanks,
Samoans are a big race. Some of those dudes are gigantic.
Bay to Breakers
list participant #'s
is there a minimum entry criteria for this list? without some objective criteria, the list will be meaningless.
I know Steamboat in Peoria is fairly big, but not sure how big off-hand it is...tell me how big it needs to be to make your list, and I'll look it up.
Bloomsday 12k, Spokane, Wa. . . First sunday in May
I know that the sun run is expecting 50,000 runners in 2006. Bolder to boulder usually attracts 50,000 + there can't be many races out there that have more participants!
For objective criteria let's say 10,000 +
Thanks!
How about steamroller
sorry, i meant steamboat, and if Tim Broe and Mark Menefee race at it then its probably pretty good.
shamrock shuffle, chicago, 8k ... i think its the largest 8k in the US

dude, Broe and Menefee are among the smaller names to race there...
how about names like Khalid Khannouchi, Jon Brown, Gert Thys, Peter Githuka, Shadrack Kosgei, Colleen DeReuck....
I think Sell and Verran have run the 15k...
