I live in the true epicenter of trail running (no, it's not in Colorado)
Southwestern Utah. I'm 20 minutes from Zion National park, 90 Minutes from Bryce Canyon National park.
I have trails going to 10,000'+ within minutes of my front door. I can get to sweet single track, slickrock, hardpack, or smooth trails all on foot with very little effort.
It's the best.

Basya, I don't know you too well, but the Fat Man Chili Cup doesn't sound like your kind of race! I picture a bunch of tubby Texan dudes drinking beer ! Tell me I am mistaken.
where do I sign up?

Will run for scenery.
I love where I live (Colorado Springs) wrt running. I can't believe I lived here for 10 years and never took advantage of it. The downside is that so many people here are so good (plenty of Olympic and pro athletes live/train here) that it can be intimidating to be a mere mortal.
The winters are not bad, but I am pretty wimpy; this year I will train year-round.
Stupid feet!
Stupid elbow!
I'm doing the Baystate full and the Fattman Chilly Cup HM three weeks later. I'm still thinking of registering for a HM the day after Yom Kippur.

The Marathon Sports 5 Miler is a great race if you haven't done it before. It is on 7/18
