10. Blue Ridge Marathon: 
done the half already and really want to do the full. Might even do the unofficial double one day...
9. Medoc Trail Marathon: 
the one in North Carolina not the French one. Mostly because of the medal and how awesome the volunteers are supposed to be.
8. Disney Marathon: 
come on, I know it's cheesy and cliche, but I want to do it. I really want to do the dopey challenge, the 5k Thursday, 10k Friday, Saturday the half and Sunday the full! You get 6 medals, one for each race, one for the dopey challenge and one for the goofy challenge which is the half then the full.
7. Avenue of the Giants Marathon: 
run with the redwoods! Hopefully I'll feel like a
speeder bike whizzing past the trees! A more apt Star Wars analogy would be I will be an AT-AT lumbering down the path...
6. Grand Canyon Rim 2 Rim: 
the grand canyon is so iconic and to be able to say that you ran from one edge to the other would be pretty cool.
5. Boston Marathon: 
the only way I will run boston is as a charity and I hear even that is hard to do. They make the charity runners do a training program to ensure they finish in a certain cut off time.6 hours I think.
4. Last Chance 50k: 
this one is a personal one because I was going to try it the year before I had to get my foot revised and then blew up my knee. I missed the inaugural and am starting training as of this writing to do it this year, the 3rd year.
3. Big Sur Marathon: 
redwoods, the Pacific Ocean and beautiful scenery.
2. Marine Corps Marathon: 
history, scenery, emotional atmosphere, determination, and plenty of sponsors. What more could you want.
1. Barkley Marathons:
I will be the first person to run the barkley marathon with no illusions about even finishing. My goal would be get to the first book, thats it's. I will not attempt to explain the barkley, google it. That's all I can say.
