Marathon Recommendation Needed

I'm trying to link up with a buddy who lives about 3000 Miles away to run our second marathon together. Time is limited for both of us so we're trying to nail down a marathon for the year. Ether road or trail races will work. Here is a list that I sent. Any others you can recommend?

Rainey Gut Loop

I'm a big fan of running off-road both with my feed and my Jeep.  This time I was on foot at First Landing State Park.  The park has a good network of trails I plan on exploring all summer long.  This was a new trail called Rainey Gut Loop.  I had not run this before, but connect to the other 11 miles of trails I know pretty well.  That give's me 14.2 miles of known trails to run on a moments notice.  Best thing is I know where all the water is and have a good lay of the land to go kick out some longer runs off road.  Time to get cracken.  I'll pull a 20-miler here in the next 45 days. That's Friday, June 4, 2010
