Tell us where your favorite races are and why!

I haven't raced much in the year and a half I've been running but my two favorite races have been the Jacksonville Bank half-marathon, in Dec. and the Biltmore (Asheville, NC) 5k, in May. The Jacksonville race had some of the nicest volunteers and really beautiful neighborhoods to run through. The Biltmore 5k was along the river inside the Biltmore estate. Absolutely beautiful!

The Marine Corps Marathon in DC has to be my absolute favorite race, with the 3M half marathon in Austin coming in a close second, if only because their goody bag ROCKS. It's filled with tons of Post Its, glue, bandages, tons of usable stuff

The race with the most beautiful and awe inspiring course-the Biltmore 15K in Asheville, NC! The race with the coolest race gift hands down (Vera Bradley bag)-the Seaside Half Marathon. AND best race just to go and have an ALL OUT fun time is the McGuire's races in Destin and Pensacola - the Halloween Race and St. Patrick's day race!! They have a live band and lots of fun stuff! Can't wait to report back after the Rock N Roll Marathon in Seattle!!! Maybe it will top them all

My favorite run has got to be the George Sheehan Classic 5 mile run in Red Bank, NJ. We do that one every summer. You get to run through this really cool town and at the end you get a free B-B-Q. This might be replaced though, by the run I plan on doing in Chicago this summer. You get to run right through the city and end up in Grant Park, I'll let ya know

My two favorites are the Disney Half-Marathon in Orlando and the Rock n' Roll Half-Marathon in Dallas! Great weather, large turn-out of racers, and fun along the way for 13.1 miles!
