I just answered this in another thread! I've done the 5k at the Around the Bay, but not the 30k yet. However, I'm recitifying that in about 4 weeks. I'm going to do it this year. I've been in a half marathon clinic, our race is March 7th, but I'm not going to race it, just run it as a training run and then do the Around the Bay 30k on March 27th.

The slogan for the Around the Bay is "Older than Boston"! It's the oldest organized road race in North America. It gets a big crowd and it's a great race.

Let me know if you do come up for it next year!
