I've hit seven so far, and am going to do both half marathons in the grand prix, so looks like I'm set! Thanks for the list.

Also, last year was my first with NYRR, and I started with the Poland Spring Marathon Kickoff (5 miles). Has that race been done in the past? Has it been 5M in years prior?

5 miles last five years at least

I've done my nine for the year. I wanted to get them done early for fear of huge crowds towards the end of the year.

It's actually a lot easier than it sounds.

Any suggestions of which one to volunteer for?
