Some of the best "destination" races are Trail Marathons and Trail Ultra Marathons ... particularly, for slower runners. Trail Ultra Marathons which have 50K (31.1 miles) event distances have very generous cut-off times much in excess of 6 hours.
In addition Trail Ultra Marathons are held in smaller places with very simple logistics. Entry fees for events are usually less than for big city marathons. Getting to the starting line is easier. Cost of lodging is much less. And, you get to see some great countryside.
One of the best Ultra Marathons in the US is the Oil Creek 100. Web site: Oilcreek100.org
