What are some of the places you're using racing as an excuse to travel to this year? Always looking for good races to add to the list.
I'm headed back to Speedgoat in Snowbird, UT this July. Any excuse to get out to Utah's Wasatch Mountains, summer or winter, is worth taking!
If you are anywhere near Washington State in August, give a thought to the Tunnel Vision Marathon (and Half). The date is August 11th, and the route begins on Snoqualmie Pass, east of Seattle. After passing through a 2.5 mile tunnel it follows an old railroad bed gently down through the forest. I believe one year almost 40% of the runners qualified for Boston, since the route is fast and fun--and downhill. The event can sell out--it is popular and well supported. https://www.tunnelmarathon.com/pages/register
