Race Suggestions Wanted

I realized that under my goals I listed I wanted to run a 5k before or during September 08...and it is September already. Clearly I need to do something about this. I brought up the Seven Hills race calendar in hopes of finding a race I could run on one of the weekends I am not busy. Sure enough, the 27th has both the Fall Fun Run and the Race the Woodlands races. Now for my new dilemma- which race? Anyone have any suggestions? They are both 5ks...although the fun run has the added benefit of a shorter drive.

Also, this got me thinking about future races. I am pretty sure I want to participate in the Rocky Raccoon (not sure what distance). However, that's about all I know. Does anyone have any favorite races they have done or ones they know of that look fun? I'd love to work my way up to half marathon or even (vague hope) marathon distance.

Anyway, thanks for any comments I get. I just want to know what races to look into (and any to avoid too).

Convenience/gas-wise = Fun Run. Ease of course/flatness = The Woodlands. All else fails, coin flip!?

Very true. Well, I think the gas price factor will likely win out...:-P. However, I would like to run the race the woodlands thing sometime. Carpool, anyone? lol
