If a BQ is your biggest concern I'd consider holding out till January and running Phoenix.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Twin Cities is in early Oct. I think the 5th. Not sure if registration is filled or not yet. I do believe it has 1 or 2 decent hills, but I haven't done it. http://www.mtcmarathon.org/index.cfm

Well I just joined up here after years at coolrunning.com, which appears to have been turned into a real mess. Anyway, I have run Chicago each of the last three years, PR'ing there last year in the 90 degree heat, but missing my BQ by ten minutes. I was, and am fit enough to BQ, and I love the Chicago Marathon, but my wife is sick of it and has vowed to stay home this year rather than visit Chicago again. I live on the coast, so I need something flat since we have no hills here, and until I BQ, the obsession continues, so I need something fast for the Fall. Wife might still go with me if it's a big city. I have done Milwaukee already, so not that one. I saw Toronto has one October 19th, but am a little concerned with a 150 foot incline the final mile and a half. Does anyone have any suggestions?
