I'll be 40 in December of 2015 and my birthday present to myself is to run a 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Full Marathon with the goal of placing in my division for each (for smaller races) or in the top 10% (for bigger races) or at the very least (for the love of...) hitting a PR. So I'm looking for race suggestions. I've been running about 6 or 7 years, mostly marathons and halfs. Anything less than half marathon would need to be in Arizona, half somewhere in the West, full could be anywhere. TIA!

    Missoula Montana half and full marathon is in July. It starts early - 6:00 for the full and 6:30 for the half - and is a flat course. Friends of mine have run this race and said it an awesome race to run - a fast course, point to point and with great support. My husband and I are registered to run the half this year. Happy planning!

    Quad Cities Marathon in Moline, IL! Very flat, covers two states and four cities, and a small field of runners (around 700). http://qcmarathon.org/

    Both great suggestions! I love Missoula but I am also really really fond of small races.
