Every year, there are races across the country to build a vacation around -- but many of them are tricky to get into, whether it's because of a lottery or the slots fill up quickly.
Here are three upcoming races, with deadlines, that I'm looking at. Anyone have some favorites they are tracking as they make some plans this summer?
** Mount Washington Road Race, Pinkham Notch, NH, June 21. (Lottery being held now through March 15): Only one hill, as the promotional materials state, and one of the pre-eminent mountain races in the country.
** Beach to Beacon 10K, Portland, Maine, Aug. 1. (Entries start at 12 noon on March 15): A good old-fashioned 10K, with ties to Joan Benoit.
** Falmouth Road Race, Falmouth, MA, Aug. 9 (Entries by lottery May 1-15, with decision by end of May): One of the country's best road races.
**** NOTE AN EARLIER POST HAD ENTRIES FOR BEACH TO BEACON AT MIDNIGHT. IT'S ACTUALLY NOON ON MARCH 15 (much more civilized)
