Brooklyn Running: Fall Marathons: Get Ready

Didn’t get into the big marathons this fall (I’m talking New York, Chicago or Marine Corps)?

Never fret, there are plenty of Northeast marathons to choose from – some flat, some challenging, some picturesque, all of them still open (hopefully) as this writing.

Here’s a list as you ponder your travel/training plans. There may be some smaller ones that I’ve missed, and if you know of any that are worthwhile, by all means, post a comment or send an e-mail. It does look like the Westchester Marathon and the Atlantic City Marathon won’t be held this fall (based on the lack of information on their Web sites) – if someone knows of dates of these races, please let me know.

By all means, check out MarathonGuide.com if you’re thinking about traveling elsewhere – it has an extensive list, along with comments from racers, elevation charts, etc.
