RUN 10 FEED10 NYC RACE DISCOUNT AND GIVEAWAY

Happy Tuesday gang!

I’m just lacing up my shoes for a 6 mile run but wanted to stop in quickly to share a great giveaway and race discount with you guys. Once again the team at Women’s Health is hosting a gorgeous 10k in New York City as part of their Run10 Feed10 race series.

run10kfeed10

RUN 10 FEED 10 started in 2012 with the hope of raising money and awareness for the dire hunger problem in America. The concept was a simple one. RUN a 10K and FEED 10 hungry people in your hometown.  Now, going into our fourth year, they need your help once again to reach their goal of providing 5 million meals.  When you register, you automatically provide 10 meals to those in need!

If you’re in the tri-state area this weekend this is a great race to use as a training run or way to break up a long training run. Located along the Hudson River this timed race will include gorgeous views and is always very well organized.

 

WHEN:  Sunday, September 20, 2015
WHERE:  Pier 84 at Hudson River Park Run
down the West Side Highway
TIME: 7 AM
REGISTRATION FEE: $55  (Discount code for readers: R10F10PR)

WEBSITE / INFO:  www.run10feed10.com

The money from the registration and fundraising efforts will go to the nearest NYC metropolitan areas. The registration fees include a 2015 limited-edition FEED bag and FEED bracelet as well as pre and post-race activities such as warm-ups, yoga and music.

Publix Savannah Women’s Half & 5k

You all know that Savannah, my hometown, will always hold a dear place in my heart. The majestic oak trees, delicious food, slower pace, friendly people and rich history make it a city which I love sharing with our friends. In July, Bo and I were elated to share Savannah with our friends during his 30th birthday weekend.

But there is another side of Savannah which is best experienced by foot. The cobblestone streets, carefully designed squares, Forsyth Park’s iconic fountain and historic homes leave people breathless as they explore Savannah’s rich history.

Savannah’s running community gets to enjoy these sights on a daily basis but isn’t it time that these sites are shared with others? There has been a lot of feedback over the past few years that the Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah Half & Full don’t let runners experience most of these sites. Luckily Publix and Savannah have partnered to host the first Publix Savannah Women’s Half Marathon & 5K this March! 

Womens Marathon

I am so excited to announce that I have joined the team as one of their race ambassadors! Over the next few months, leading up to the race I will be sharing training tips, giveaways and more! Offering both a 5k and half marathon distance, this is the perfect race weekend for you and your girlfriends! My mom and aunt have already signed up to walk the half marathon while a few of my girlfriends will be joining me in Savannah for good food, perfect weather and a lot of race weekend fun! The Saturday race means that Saturday evening can be spent celebrating in City Market or at one of Savannah’s rooftop bars overlooking the river.

If you’re interested in running a beautiful, FLAT, scenic, women’s only race this Spring this is your perfect option. Publix is the leading sponsor, proof that it will be a great race as I’ve heard wonderful things about their work with the Atlanta Half Marathon!

If you want to sign up, you can use my discount code HEALTHYHAPPIERBEAR to receive $5 off your registration fee. Registration includes a women’s cut technical shirt, medal, admission to the fashion & fitness expo, and a fun post race event in Forsyth Park!

Home for the Holidays Virtual 10K

Editor’s Note:  This just in we are RE-OPENING registration for the Virtual 10K due to a high demand.  After much consideration and requests, we have decided to reopen the 10k.  We thought about those who have not had a chance to register as well as those who took the time to register.  Given the short registration time frame and the fact that people can register for a “normal” race the day of, we have reopened registration.  

For those who have already registered early, we are giving you the opportunity to be the only one’s in the raffle prize for the Brooks shoes. 

Happy Holidays!  2011 has been an amazing year for races, blogging, friends, and fun! Many of us qualified for Boston, ran our first half or full marathon, watched the Hood to Coast teams with awe and slight jealously, and maybe even just started running!

Now that 2011 is about to close and we are rushing home or to friends and families for the holidays, we wanted one last chance to enjoy that Runner’s High before we said our official goodbye to 2011.  I don’t know about you, but in our areas there were not many options for races this weekend.  People are BUSY!  It is Christmas and Hanukkah this week, so we get it.  That is why all the holiday races were previous weeks.  But we wanted MORE!!  Robin & Stephanie looked high and low for a 10k – Robin had a 10K on her training plan for this week and Stephanie wanted to make it 11 races in 2011 (she has 10).  I am heading down South for the holiday weekend, and there are not many options.

Good thing  bloggers are so resourceful!  First I tweeted this …

Then saw this…

And before we knew it Robin, Stephanie, and I were planning the The 1st Annual Home for the Holidays Virtual 10K!

Whether you are planning on going home for the holidays or not, we would love for you to participate in this Virtual Race.  What better way to burn off some holiday stressors and a few of those extra cookies than kicking out a 10K with some of your closest friends and bloggers.

Because what is the holidays without some of these fabulous sugar cookies!

If you have never done a Virtual Race before and have no idea what we are talking about, don’t worry it is simple and easy to catch on!  The idea behind the race is that you register (here) and instead of actually going to a designated area to race you get to do it on your own time (within a certain deadline) and at your own place.  We organize it all and then you just have to run and report back – tell us how it went, send us funny stories, pictures whatever.  You can get friends to do it with you in person or just rock it on your treadmill. Whatever works, anything goes!  Holidays are stressful and crazy.  This is supposed to be fun, healthy, and enjoyable!!!

Plus, if nothing else, we are going to have wonderful, fabulous prizes!!!  Amazing companies came out left and right to offer some great gifts.  Since this is just for fun, we will be doing prizes for Best Holiday Outfit During the Run as well as random sweepstakes (you enter the drawing by registering and running the 10K).

Here are the brands participating thus far:
Attune Foods
Skin Sake
Sparkly Soul Bands
Tommie Copper
Five Bamboo

Chobani 

Fleet Feet Sports

Popchips
Gu
Nuun
Choose Cherries
Road ID
Run for Fun – Run for Fun Bondi Band & the new I <3 My Crazy Bitch Dri-Fit Shirt
