Nothing gets you motivated like a deadline. Some favorite races:
Skirt Chasers, where women get a 3-minute head start before the men are let loose;
New York's Fun Run and Happy Hour, which features post-race drink specials; and the
Zooma Half Marathon & 10K series, featuring post-race shopping, massages and wine. Check out
