Our fall events include:

The Nation's Triathlon - Washington, D.C. (Sunday, Sept. 13, 2009) - The Nation's Triathlon is a truly memorable triathlon experience. From its one-of-a-kind course route in and around the monuments of Washington, D.C. to its extra large transition area, fast course design and athlete friendly attitude, this race is great for new triathletes and seasoned veterans alike.

The Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon - Columbus, Ohio (Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009) - One of the nation's top 25 marathons and one of the largest in the midwest in the fall, the flat, fast course throughout Ohio's capital city offers something for first-timers and those looking to qualify for Boston. Nearly 1-in-5 finishers qualifies for The Boston Marathon. 

The Nike Women's Marathon - San Francisco, Calif. (Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009) - The Nike Women's Marathon will take place on a spectacular marathon and half-marathon course, touring past such classic San Francisco sites as Coit Tower, San Francisco Bay, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, Golden Gate Bridge and much, much more. Walkers and runners of all levels are welcome. And don't worry, there are no "cable car hills."
