GIVEAWAY!! Blue Ridge Marathon!

It's been a whirlwind week (more on that later) and now all of a sudden December is here! My 31st birthday is on Thursday (12/06) and I wanted to do something special on my blog. Within the last year, I have trained my butt off to run my first half marathon and I met TONS of awesome people in the process. It was a great year for getting back on track with running (hence the name of my blog)! To honor it, I chose this week to hold my:

Blue Ridge Marathon Entry GIVEAWAY!

If you are here, I assume you found out about the giveaway from me or the Blue Ridge Marathon FB or Twitter (@BRM26pt2) and are all ready to enter!!

But lets get all the details out of the way first (taken from www.blueridgemarathon.com):

Local runners have crafted one of the most challenging and beautiful marathons on the east coast. In 2010 the full marathon course included 3,076 feet of total elevation gain and 6,140 feet of total elevation change, but that just wasn’t enough.

The 2012 course includes 3,620 feet of total elevation gain and 7,234 feet of total elevation change. Kind of gives new meaning to runner’s high.

The uphill portions will test each runner’s strength and endurance while the equally challenging downhill sections are sure to weed out those who are unprepared. The breathtaking views and stunning Blue Ridge Mountain scenery will offer some reprieve to runners as they persevere to the finish line! Are you up for the challenge of America’s Toughest Road Marathon?
