Most races around here are not so big as to have to deal with shuttle buses, except for, you know, the Big Race that always happens on Patriot's Day. :-)<br /><br />You're very lucky that so many of the running bloggers you read live in the same geographical part of the country!Terrihttp://tgorourke.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-11121051405536473742010-02-11T16:31:59.962-08:002010-02-11T16:31:59.962-08:00Big races are fun to do.

I especially love waking up an hour before the start of a 10K instead of 3 or 4 hours before the start of a half or marathon, depending on the crowd.Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410886286757858925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-39518798683973938352010-02-10T12:13:41.401-08:002010-02-10T12:13:41.401-08:00Nice post Glenn.
