This spreadsheet will prove very useful to those runners in Central Ohio who agree with DrewEOB on the runningahead.com forums - who says: "I'm not a huge fan of fishing through five or more sites to find some races, so I put together my listing. It's certainly not exhaustive, but it's got some depth...". Wouldn't it be nice if there were one of these for every state or region!? (i can't understand why Drew didn't post a link to this spreadsheet from his own blog... it's really useful!)
