- Army 10-Miler. This races closes as soon as registration opens--the 30,000 cap filled in early April--but stands as a favorite fall race on the Washington, D.C., running scene. Find the 2009 results here (well, they're not up yet but promise to be by 8 p.m. tonight).
- Lakefront Marathon. Milwaukee hosts this marathon that has become a popular event for Midwesterners, especially those shut out of Chicago. Offering a route with miles along the Lake Michigan shoreline, it's flat and fast and this year lucked out with perfect running weather. Click here for those results.
- Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. Another Midwest favorite especially because it's on a smaller scale than Chicago runs through the Twin Cities. This race is often held on the same day as Chicago, which worked to some runners advantage in 2007 when the Midwest was blessed, or cursed, with a heat wave and runners looking for Olympic Trials cuts and Boston qualifiers abandoned their Chicago dreams and rushed to Minneapolis instead. It's a good day in the Twin Cities between marathon dreams accomplished--elite runner Sally Meyerhoff ran her personal best to finish fifth--and the Twins battling the Detroit Tigers for the central division title in baseball. Check out the results.
- Portland Marathon. In years past, this marathon gained notoreity, at least on my radar screen, for continuing to welcome music devices and headphones on its race course when they were banned by the USATF (thank goodness that rule was repealed). And it's still known as the mp3-friendly marathon while offering some great scenery and gentle hills. Find results here.
