Cycle/Run/Walk Across America
Berkeley Lab has designed a transcontinental virtual trip across the United States. Each time you enter your mileage of either running, walking or cycling, they add it to your total and show you exactly what you would see if you had been traveling on the TransAmerica Trail from Yorktown, Virginia to Florence, Oregon. They also provide maps that show your progress and the progress of your friends if they have an account. If you wish, you can form teams to race across the United States. You can check it out at http://exercise.lbl.gov/index.html.

2011 Run Ohio Grand Prix Schedule
Received the following in an email from RUNOHIO:
The 2011 RUNOHIO Grand Prix is a series of races chosen by runners and the staff of RUNOHIO to be part of the statewide grand prix. Criteria used in determining the RUNOHIO Grand Prix races were; 1) Runner rankings from RUNOHIO, 2) Race Organization, 3) Quality of the race field, 4) Size of the race, 5) Date of the race, 6) Geographical location of the race. RUNOHIO also tried to have only one race on any given weekend and not pick holiday races. However, due to a few races changing their dates, the RUNOHIO Grand Prix does have a few dates with multiple races. Check out the 2011 schedule.
