I’m going to stop posting on here for a long while. Possibly forever.

When I first started this site, my employer was the Annapolis Capital, a wonderful paper that (at the time) had no running or transportation blogs. Now, however, I work for the Baltimore Sun, which within the last year has launched both a wonderful transportation blog and, more recently, a very nice running section. Since these vastly outdo my blog in terms of quality and quantity, I’m happy to say that it’s now quite redundant.

That said, I’d still love to see you at a Friday meetup, as those will continue.

This week, I was very happy that I had moved from Glen Burnie to Baltimore.

On Sunday, the Jones Falls Expressway was closed for an interesting event.

This got me thinking about what other strange or weird races are out there. I found few:

- Chicago just broke in its new runway in a run … way (sorry — couldn’t resist).

- The Kansas City take on the popular “Jingle Bell Run” motif was at one point a little more unusual than planned, according to one blogger.

- Los Angeles played host at least once to a course sprinkled with one-hit-wonders.

- Austin gets on the list honorarily, simply for having the name that it has.

So my poll question is: Which of these cities has the strangest race?

Go ahead and vote:
