· · 55,000 runners, $ 85,000 in prize money, 10,000 meters. Well, it must be July 4th. It must be Atlanta, Georgia…it must be the Peachtree Road Race.

· · It’s only four miles, but the Steamboat Classic in Peoria, Illinois, is a flat out sizzler for the racers out front and the thousands that follow.

· · One of the top road races in the world brings thousands to Cape Cod for a 7-mile tour along Martha Vineyard’s Sound in the SBLI Falmouth Road Race.

· · An extraordinary elite field dashes through the streets of Puerto Rico for major prize money and prestige in the 20th annual Abraham Rosa 10k.

· · Moving uptown, the shopping comes later, first it’s a straightaway sprint in the elegant Fifth Avenue Mile in New York City, a New York Road Runners event.

· · Going back a quarter century for the sportfilm.com Athletic Archive, it’s the 1981 Fifth Avenue Mile in which Sydnee Maree’s winning 3:47 is still the event record.
