I seem to gravitate towards larger races with lots of participants.  One of the things that these large races have started to do is have running celebrities in attendance - it's really fun.  You can chat them up, get tips on training, and try to rub up on them to gain some speed via osmosis.

Anyway, here are a few of the notables that I've been able to meet over the years.
