No more marathons
Johnstown, PA marathon goes the beginning of October. This year there were 58 of us. We finished in a stadium. As I approached a volunteer with a hand held radio called in my race bib number. As I entered the stadium I heard, very loudly "Now entering the stadium..." and my name. Way Cool!! Ya' can't get that with a big marathon unless you are in the top 3 or 4, maybe.

Spinx Run Fest in Greensville, SC is smallish (about 1,300) but does the same thing. I was the 99th finisher and they announced me as I entered the stadium. Even got my name right. It's run the end of October.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
He's a leaker!

I did the Wineglass Marathon in Corning, NY the past September. a couple thousand runners in the marathon. Great race, well organized (it was their 35th year), flat and pretty fast. And, it is in the Fingerlake area, so lots of options for post race wine tasting. I totally recommend it.
Sayhey! MM#130
I loved Johnstown; pretty course, for the most part, and mostly downhill, but not harshly so.
Always wanted to do Wineglass.
Lots of folks say good things about Hartford.
I love small marathons. No standing around at the start forever, meaning you get more sleep in the am!
Why not go to Marathon Maniacs and check out their calendar? That's a pretty complete listing.
Give us a sense of your top 5 or 10 and if we've done it, we can comment, if you'd like.
