I love holidays, so in my mind it’s never too early to start planning for the 4th of July! This year we have a lot going on, but I’m really excited.
First of all, Gone for a RUN is hosting another great virtual run. This one is a four mile race. Just sign up, receive your race packet in the mail, and run, walk, or crawl the 4 miles on the course of your choice during the race window. In exchange you will receive a REAL finisher’s medal! You will also get a race shirt (either a Women’s Athletic Tank Top, Men’s Lifestyle Tee or Youth Short Sleeve Tee), real race bib (no downloads!) and a car magnet.
Race will be held July 2nd-5th.
In order to ship your race packet in time for the race, please register by June 22nd. Here is a close up of the medal. I love it!
If my quad is cooperating, then I plan to run the local Watermelon 5k in Jackson. It’s a big fun race but it’s going to be super hot I’m sure so we will see what happens.
Also, our life group from church is having a 4th of July party. We will have BBQ, slip n slide for the kids, and everyone is dressing up in their red, white, and blue. It’s going to be so much fun, I can’t wait. I love dressing up for themed parties so this is right up my alley. Here are a couple photos from years past:
QOTD: What are you doing for 4th of July?
Disclosure: as a Gone for a RUN ambassador I received a free entry into this race, however all opinions are my own.
Fun! We do a 4th of July 4-miler every year and it’s stroller friendly and it has a kids run!
This will be my first ever virtual run. I will be away visiting family for the holiday, so this is a perfect way to fit In a race.
That’s great!
Florida doesn’t have too many races during the summer, so I think I’m going to do the virtual 5k. Love the medal and the shirt!
I’m excited for this one! Love patriotic things and races centered around the 4th! I’m also running a local 4 miler on the 4th (will be crazy hot but should be fun)!
I don’t have much plans yet but we’re having a fun lunch at work on the 2nd. Of course I’ll run on the 4th and listen to my America playlist since that’s a must 🙂
I’m really intrigued by these virtual runs. Looks like fun!
