Any idea where to look to find races when traveling abroad?
Specifically, I will be in Rome from Feb 24 - March 4. I'd like to run in a race while there. Any distance is fine (though I'd prefer a marathon, but can't find any that week I'll be there). But it would still be cool to run even a 5K or something.
Any one know where I can find a good list of local races? I've checked marathonguide.com and a little googling too, but no real luck yet.
HTFU? Why not!

There are a couple marathons in Italy while you will be there, i don't know where they are in relation to Rome.
Feb 26 Guiseppe Verdi Marathon in Parma http://www.verdimarathon.it/
March 4 Treviso Marathon http://www.trevisomarathon.com/
I hope you can run one. i ran a couple races in Spain and ran a marathon in England and had a great time in all of them.

I found a half marathon in Rome! 38th Edition of Romaostia Half Marathon
Looks big, should be fun!
Spinach, those two marathons look great, but pretty far from Rome :-(
Stadjak, don't know any races in Croatia, but I went there for my honeymoon a few years back and had a great time. PM me if you want recommendations for your trip!

Sorry, I didn't have a map. I hope you enjoy the half you found. I really enjoyed the 5ks I ran in Spain and the weird marathon I did in England.
