OC Half/5K Race Giveaway!

**update:  entry is for OC Half Marathon OR the OC Wahoo's 5K (your choice)!!

Do you live in Southern California and do you love to run???

With non-humid, fabulously mild weather like this,
I don't know how you couldn't love running outside....

Or do you know anyone who does?

I know, I'm not a native.  My pale arms are 
keeping me from looking semi-Californian 
on Sunset Blvd, try as I might.

You want a race medal to add to your collection?

My cool medal hanger that my mom made for me.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, read on.....

I've been talking with the generous folks over at the OC Marathon (who helped me out with my own race bib) and they have agreed to give a free entry to the OC Half Marathon OR the OC Wahoo's 5K (your choice!!) to one of my lucky readers!!

The races are Sunday May 6th (yes, that's this upcoming weekend....I told you that my style is truly last-minute.)  Half starts at 6:15, 5K starts at 7:30.

Half Marathon AND 5K finishers get a medal, a t-shirt and are able to participate in the post-race finish line festivities.

Register and pick up your bib on Friday or Saturday.  For more race details, click HERE.

So pop the address into your GPS, see if it's close by and join in on the fun next weekend!!

OC Fair & Event Center, 88 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
