i say New York, because that's the one i'd personally rather run for aesthetic reasons, and because Boston has become watered down with charity runners to the point that the qualifying standard doesn't matter if you have enough money.  Boston has lost its place as the world's most important marathon in my mind.  am i crazy?

New York has become a world class event, thanks in large part to the great Fred Lebow (God rest his soul).  But Boston still has history and tradition on it's side so I'll still say Boston.

Actually if the name of the park does not glorify one person or corporation it seems like a good name. Yea name it after the type of park or arena to the team of the area that pertains to that sport. If it is commercially sponsored it kills the spirit of a team identity. What if the Roman Colisieum was named after some rich temporary corporation of its time, do you think it would of been marveled as the greatest arenas of all times?! Imagine Bartles and James Colisium, or Rigo Spumanti Winer-arena! ... but I bet in that stadium there must of been at least  one wardrobe malfunction per games at halftime! Also it was designed for all sports, even chariot races, maybe they could of called it Chariot-ona 500! There is where you can put your greedy sponsors, on the chariots themselves!

The stereotype is over exagerated. I used to spend at least 2 weeks a year in New York for my company and found the people to be mostly very friendly and helpful. It is true that everyone is in a hurry and if you stand still in the middle of a sidewalk you may get walked over, but all in all New York is a fun, exciting city full of life and interesting people. I think you will enjoy it there.

When you ask about "races" I'm assuming you mean longer distances, and not necessarily speed-related.\n\n5K and 10K runs for charity happen all over. Check your paper.\n\nSave the marathons for another couple months.

New York City... nuff said...

I would put it from New York to Sydney because they are so far away from each other and have different cultures. Also, New York is a huge city full of lights and Sydney is not exactly like that although it has tall buildings as well.

I went to a race in VEGAS last year.  It was awesome.  I would like to go again this year because they are completely remodeling the infield.  I recently saw a rendering and the infiled will be set up so that you can see down into the garages.  I would tell you to go to  Vegas- since you live there, you don't have to spend money on the hotel or flight so use the money you would have spent on that and get a pit pass so that you can take advantage of the new infield.  Also Qualifying and practice day, is a good day to have pit passes.  The drivers are more laid back.

It's got to be the Red Sox.  I want the Red Sox and Toronto to finish 1-2 in the East.  Forget the Yankees - they are a bunch of beat up old men.  The only real NY baseball team is the METS!!!!

I dunno.  But if you live in America, I'd prolly start out on the Silver Meteor in Florence, SC.

You almost answered your own question? To run a marathon, it is not "What is the first step?"  "It is the first step!" every journey begins with one...

Probably not Philidelphia. Why not stay at boston and simply move to a cheaper apartment. If not, go to New York.

Frankly, I doubt it...nothing against Detroit, but it's a city built around an industry. It lacks a great deal of culture or sophistication that would draw people to it for the "Olympic" experience. Might as well have them in Flint....

Tony Morgan was my least favorate when he was racing in Chicago, although now he has shifted out East.  He has 2 styles of racing, either out front, or he pulls at the quarter.  Not only that, he is a stuck up prick.

I believe you have to submit a qualifying time when you enter.  Atleast that is what you have to do in the Boston Marathon.

NY Jets and NY Giants....wouldnt that be an all NJ Super Bowl?? Isnt Buffalo the only NY team that plays in NY? I would rather see an all PA Super Bowl!
