Moving to New Hampshire USA in a couple of weeks and have been checking out some of the races over there.
There is a race up a mountain called Mount Washington which looks interesting. In fact John Wyatt from New Zealand ran it in 2004 and broke the record.

I work for a company that's HQd in Boston so I'm over there for 10 days every six weeks or so. Went up Mt. Washington in February...great day out. I wouldn't mind doing the race myself this year or next.
The running scene in New England is excellent. I have to admit I've spent a little more time on the roads than trails over there but Maine has two great marathons: Sugarloaf Mountain and Bar Harbour (both highly recommended) and, of course, there's always Boston. If you do one big road marathon ever, forget London. Boston is far better.
Roadrunner - know you like to browse this races website before. This years race was Saturday and won again by John Whyatt who seems to like coming over here at this time of year.
You should think about doing this yourself - I will be very happy to put you and your other half up for a few nights.
Cheers Ajohns. But term time is a bugger!
