Take a Drive on the Yellowstone Trail

The Yellowstone Trail was the first transcontinental automobile highway that spanned the northern United States. It started as an idea of a few South Dakota businessmen who wanted a decent road stretching from Aberdeen to Ipswich. It wasn’t long before others joined in the vision; the road soon reached from Massachusetts to Washington state. Today, travelers on the Yellowstone Trail, US Highway 12 in South Dakota, travel through the towns of Milbank, Waubay, Webster, Aberdeen, Ipswich, Mobridge and Lemmon. Highlights include Lake Oahe, Storybook Land, The Waubay National Wildlife Refuge, Sitting Bull’s gravesite, Hugh Glass story marker and many other historic stops.

California International Marathon

The annual California International Marathon will be on Sunday, December 7, 2008. This marathon is a 26-mile, 385-yard, point-to-point, USATF certified road race. The fast, net-downhill course follows an historic gold-miners' route: it begins at the Folsom Dam, passes through semi-rural Sacramento suburbs into bustling midtown Sacramento, and has a thrilling finish in front of the spectacular California State Capitol.

Time of the event is scheduled for 7:00 to 8:00 PM. Entries closed Nov. 1, 2008.

Sierra Trading Post

More than 9,000 runners receive outstanding support from 2,000+ experienced volunteers. They also enjoy mile-by-mile course entertainment, the cheers of thousands of spectators, and the beautiful fall colors of Sacramento's famous old growth trees.

The fast course attracts not only runners seeking a personal best time, a Boston Marathon qualifying time, an Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying time (USATF Course Certification #CA07004RS), but also those hoping to achieve their first marathon finish.

In addition, top athletes from all over the world compete for a share of the $50,000 prize money purse and for record times. The CIM is organized by the Sacramento Long Distance Running Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Wish there had been this kind of money in running when I was younger.
