In 2015, I ran 6 virtual races. I already recapped the Jeff Galloway Virtual Races: 5k and Half which I loved that I quickly signed up for another set of 3: the Nerdy Hallows with one race centered around Dr Who, one on Harry Potter and one on Star Wars. Even though the medals are adorable, I was not a huge fan of this set of virtual races. It was just on the honor system so even though I did the races, I did not have to submit them and did not get my medals until the end of the year.For the Galloway one, I got a great shirt for both of the races and also had to submit a time. I don't plan on doing these type of races based on the honor system anytime soon. I can understand how they can motivate some people who are starting out and also for people that live in a area with a lack of races, but in Southern California, we are blessed with races anywhere and everywhere!
Over the summer, one of my favorite podcasts had the chance to Castaway Cay Double Dip 5k where we had to run 2 5ks and would receive a great medal. Most of the proceeds went to Give Kids the World, a great non-profit that gives children with life-threatening illnesses and their family a chance for a cost-free week vacation in Central Florida. As someone that frequents Orlando (5 times just in 2015!), this cause is near and dear to my heart.
When Gone for a Run contacted me to see if I would be interested in participating in a 4-mile race benefiting Give Kids the World, I jumped at the chance! Here are the rules:
Run a magical four miles in a race fit for a princess in our latest virtual race.
Just run or walk the 4 miles on the course of your choice January 21-January 24.
Please be sure to share your race photos and recap on our Facebook page at facebook.com/GoneForaRUN.
Want to also participate in this race? You can sign up here. When you sign up, you will receive fun pink gloves, pink socks, a race bib and a finisher medal for 30 bucks!
