I cheated here and picked an easy one -- I basically decided I wanted to do a marathon, then decided I wanted it to be a BIG marathon, and picked the closest one The other things I've done have just been by chance, so I'm really in the same boat as you for next year. I'm going to try to plan out a schedule that I can train around with tris, running, and cycling events. I'm really looking forward to it, but I, too, have no idea where to look for the dates of possible events, other than the ones I already know about because I did them this year

I did for a while (when I was debating whether I wanted to do a marathon) just google for "marathons" and other search terms that led me to sites with lists of marathons (and usually half marathons) and other events. Can't argue with google! Not all events use active.com, but so many do these days that it's a great place to start.

Good luck
