My co-workers just told me about a great race this fall. It's a fundraiser for the Girls on the Run, which is a non-profit group that works with young girls to teach them to be active, happy, strong women. (Kinda like us, right?!?!??)
So, the race is called Run Like a Girl. It's a half marathon here in Bellingham on the 10th of October. It's not so much a race as it is a super fun excuse to be outside in October. At every mile there's some kind of special treat, like a tiara, chocolate, or (most importantly!!) CHAMPAGNE!!! That's right. Champagne. During the run.
It's all about fun and smiles and good times (not necessarily good finishing times, just happy times!). Apparently most participants walk the majority of the course. I imagine this is largely because nobody would want to risk spilling their free champagne!! It's limited to only 50 participants, and it's only $40. ($55 if you want the nice technical shirt.)
Check out the website, look at your calendars, and tell me what you think. I think it's right up our alleys (or canyons, or mountains, or ocean currents, or what have you...) *I think we should do it!*

OK, I am totally in. Did you already sign up? I couldn't figure out how to do it, but it sounds like a must event for the tiara crowd!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to get all excited and then be the 51st person to sign up. I know the gold nugget tri-athlon filled up in 15 hours and it costs more and isn't nearly as much fun!
