There are too many. Every race is special. Love hard races like 100s but also like shorter ones. Here are a few.

Laurel Highlands 70M – June 2021. Hardest race I ran. Only time. weird distance, but that is the length of that trail.

Rock N the Knob (2022) – One of the hardest marathons in the eaat coast

Aug 28, 2021: Blackwater Moonlight on the Falls Marathon. WV. 1st night marathon (10p-7a). A night of fun!

Nov 5, 2022: Bobcat Trail 11 mile, a Kevins Race (He puts up amazing races in our local area)

Oct 9, 2022: Army Ten Miler, quite popular in our area. Some say not as good as the Marine Corps Marathon, but you get a feel of big city race.

Probably the first one I did, DC RnR (2017) will always be the top.

Shenandoah Half Marathon (by Vacation Races) 2017 – camped overnight before at the finish line and almost missed the shuttle to the starting line on the next day!
