Race Calendar Sites

How can you find out about races in the general area?

Here's a breakdown of some sites I use when looking around. One of my goals is to create a more comprehensive race calendar than what appears on Active.com, in part because there are a lot of smaller races that just don't make it there (and, with due respect to the Active folk, their event calendar is cluttered with running clubs/programs).

So, here's a list of some spots to check out in the interim. This is not an exhaustive list: it doesn't include single-race Web sites, and it's likely missing some running clubs that put out lists. Post some of your own or e-mail Brooklyn Running - hopefully this spring, I'll have a Web site up that is a bit more comprehensive.
