Rock Your Socks Marathon/10K Virtual Race

My buddy KT was looking to run a half marathon every month this year, but when planning her schedule, she couldn't find a race in May that would work for her. So, she decided to put on her own race. Now, KT, me and the rest of our teammates are hosting the 1st Annual Rock Your Socks Half Marathon and 10K.

And I thought I would invite you all to participate in the race as well - Virtually. (That is unless you really want to come to here and run with us.) I know you're interested. Here are the details ...

1st Annual Rock Your Socks Virtual Half Marathon and 10K

WHEN: Friday, May 21, Saturday May 22, or Sunday, May 23

DISTANCE: 10K or Half Marathon

COST: FREE - But I will take donations to the sock collection ...

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: Comment on this post to let me know you are in! Then send me an email with your name, distance and blog address (if applicable). And don't forget to invite all your friends to join in.

Then on the weekend of May 21-23, pick your course and run your race! When you are done email me the pictures, a link to your race report and your finish time.

WHAT WILL YOU GET?: Every participant will be linked on the Run Like A Mother Half Marathon and 10K Recap. And all racers will be entered to WIN a prize (or two or three, I haven't made up my mind yet).

Sounds like fun, doesn't it? So, are you in?

    What a great idea - I may try to find a 1/2 in my area, but if I can't I am totally in! Hahahaha, love it.

    Ok, I'll give it a try. I'm busy that weekend with my scuba diving certification, so it will have to be Friday and likely the 10K. This will be good because I was sad to have to miss running with my training group, and I've been sad that I haven't got a 10K to sign up for in May/June.

    Hmm, I think I'm in. That's the weekend after my marathon, so I'll probably be really slow and only able to manage a 10k, but we'll see.

  22. AnneApril 23, 2010 at 4:49 PM

    That weekend is my first taper ever for my half...as a newbie, I'm not messing with that schedule. So no 10K for me that weekend...next time!!

  37. JenMay 2, 2010 at 2:31 PM

    Okay... I am in too.

    I will be in West Palm Beach that weekend having a girls weekend with a good friend, so while I rather do the 1/2 marathon, better put me down for the 10K. I know I can run 6.3 miles anywhere, not sure about 13 in a new place.

    When do we have to email you the race report by? I won't be back until late Sunday, and won't have access to the computer while I am away... let me know.

    I'm definitely in. Not set on the distance but usually if I start one of these I go the distance. I'm thinking the 1/2 marathon.

    I'll be on the lookout for the perfect socks :) Can't wait!!!

    Is it to late to sign up for the 10K???? I just stumbled across your blog (read your virtual tall mom 5K review, like what I read and decided to continue reading). I have 6 miles scheduled for Saturday, so this will work out perfectly for me. Let me know. Thanks.
