Spring or summer would be best as I may (hopefully!) be on a, uh, long business trip this fall.
In the interest of self-interest, I suggest something in southern California.
http://www.marathonguide.com/races/M...&Status=Active is an interactive map of all marathons in the US... once we get an idea of who is interested we can figure out a good location from there that would be (relatively) convenient for most. Anchorage, AK may thus be out.
