Run a race in every town in Connecticut: "elusive" races

Run 169: Finding "elusive" races to run

Run 169 (a.k.a. Debticonn) is a society of people who want to run a road race in every one of Connecticut's 169 towns. There is no time limit and this can take many years. I recently joined, so I'm starting the journey. Some who are very advanced in this journey warned me that it's good to be strategic about choosing which towns to run first, because some only have one or two races a year. With this in mind, I created this visualization to help in planning which races to run. I wanted to include information at different levels: from an overall sense of how many races there are every month, to how many races of "elusive" towns there are, to the detailed schedule.

The code was inspired by an example from curran's block: Extremist Murders in the US
