The race swag for this event is phenomenal! Last year I did the 5k (race recap here) and absolutely loved it! This year the weekend of events kicks off on Friday July 17th in Lisle Community Park. This event is great for the entire family, even the kiddos can earn a medal with the kids run. I was considering this race for my first ultra considering you're able to do as many miles as you can within the given time limit rather than needing to do a set amount of miles in a certain period of time. One of my running friends, Kim, ran the 24 hour ultra last year and loved it!
If you're so excited you can't wait to sign up use the code NATALIPROMO10 to save 10% off right now. I'll be giving away either a free entry to the 5k or 10k OR $75 off one of the ultra events. Drop a comment with which distance you'd like to do any why. I'll be choosing a winner on Friday so hurry and enter soon!
Hmm, can't decide on the distance. I haven't run a 5k or 10k in a long time. I am itching for a PR!!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna do the 10K. Was looking for a good race to do and your review of how many less people there are than a city race really attracts me to this on. Thanks for the info this would be a good race for a PR
ReplyDeleteI'd like to do the 10k because I have ABSOLUTELY NO races scheduled for July and as a person in marathon and triathlon training, that just shouldn't be allowed... and I can bring the kids along for even more family fun!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to run the 5k, I'll be in town for rock and roll it would be a great way to lossen up
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I pulled numbers over the weekend and you're the luck winner :) I'll send you an email confirmation shortly!
