Good morning friends! I am finally HOME and it feels good. Lots of catching up to do, and my race recap from my half marathon is coming on Wednesday, but for today I want to tell you about something really cool taking place in two weekends.
I have mentioned before that I am a race ambassador for the ZOOMA Florida event. Well, all the ambassadors are going to be hosting in person or virtual runs on the weekend of the 27th! I will be running the Jazz Half that weekend so I can’t host an in person run, but I would love to have YOU participate virtually. Oh you want incentive? Well, ZOOMA will randomly be awarding prizes to participants. All you have to do is post about the run on your blog or post photos of you participating in your hometown on the ZOOMA Facebook page. You can run whatever mileage you are at on your training plan. on either the 27th or 28th of October. So, a lot of you will be running anyway? So why not join in the fun for a chance to win cool stuff!?!? (Don’t forget if you register for ZOOMA FL to enter code FLAMB4 at checkout for a 10% discount!)
Did you say DISCOUNT?!?
Also, I would personally LOVE to know if you plan on participating, so I can give you a shout out when I do a round up post about the virtual run! So, in addition to making sure you post about your participation in the virtual run (link back to here!) or posting photos on ZOOMA’s facebook wall, please please let me know you are participating so I can make sure to remind you (if you want) and include you in my post afterwards. You can leave a comment here, email me at runningwithsass@gmail.com, or both. I would love to hear from you! So, who’s with me?!? (Note: this is a laid back fun thing, you don’t have to sign up anywhere, just let me know you participated and either blog about it or post a photo to ZOOMA’s Facebook page to be eligible for prizes!)
QOTD: Do you plan to participate? Have you ever done a virtual run?
I would love to participate in a virtual run! I’m doing my first virtual this week – The Cupcake Classic (@RunwJess). Please keep me updated. -MRScrashmattb
My training plan calls for 12 miles that weekend! Yikes! I would love to do a virtual run. Do we sign up anywhere or just let you know?

no need to sign up, just let me know you did it so I can include you in the roundup, and if you want to win prizes either blog about it or post a photo to the ZOOMA FB page of your run!
no sign up necessary, just either blog about it and let me know, or post a photo to ZOOMA’s FB page to be entered for prizes!

I’m in! I’ve never done a virtual run before. My friend and I are training for the Los Angeles Marathon (in March) with the L.A. Leggers running group (along with the Tinkerbell Half in Jan., and the Pasadena Half in Feb). 8 miles that day. I don’t have a blog, so all I do is take a picture of me on the 27th running with my group and post it to Zooma’s FB wall? Sounds fun!
yes thats all you have to do to enter for prizes! make sure you mention your photo is for my (running with sass) virtual run!
I’m in! Running anyway training for the Princess Half! I have only done one other virtual race, run with Jess’s Jelly Bean.
Heather, I will be running the Moctoberfest 5k on the 27th in Baton Rouge. Please add me.. Thanks !!!
I am training for the Princess 1/2 so I will be running 5 miles! Add me please!
I just posted my virtual run recap on the blog http://lifeinrunningshoes.blogspot.com/2012/10/zooma-virtual-run-with-runningwithsass.html
Is there anything else that I need to do to enter for the prizes?
if you posted your link on the zooma blog post talking about the kickoff run than that’s it! You could always post a pic to their FB wall, too! 🙂
