A few weeks ago I was contacted by the Race 13.1 Team about a partnership.
May 9th they will be heading up north (they’re NC based) for the first Race 13.1 Richmond Race. This particular race starts at the Richmond International Speedway. You run a lap before heading out. I’m expecting a PR since my inner Dale Jr. should be channeled after that lap.
From their website, here is what you can expect at all Race 13.1 events:
USATF certified courses for all distances
Awards for top-three finishers overall and in each age group
Live race announcer and music
Race-specific finisher medals for all 13.1 finishers
Race tech t-shirt for all runners
Pacers for 13.1 runners
Post-race party with great refreshments
A chance to win great prizes from our sponsors – maybe even a new car!
Plenty of well stocked and staffed aid stations throughout the course
They offer 5K’s, 10K’s and Half Marathons.
Not near Richmond? Here are there other sites this 2015 calendar year:
Wilmington, NC 2/22
Roanoke, VA 3/1
Evans, GA 3/26
Tennessee Valley 5/2
Richmond, VA 5/9
Greensboro, NC 5/17
Raleigh, NC 6/6
Fayetteville, NC 9/6
Raleigh, NC 9/19
Little Rock, AR 9/20
Newport News, VA 10/18
Nashville, TN 10/25
If you are an east coaster, I highly recommend purchasing the Race Pass. Run as many races as you can for $199. Considering some halfs I’ve run are almost that for a single race, it’s a great deal.
Look for posts leading up to this race specifically detailing my training, my fueling and anything else related to racing.
Like rewarding myself with Shyndigz after Saturdays’ long runs.

How cool would that be!!!!
Run with me Elaine!
Thanks for another fun giveaway! Who doesn’t like free race entries?!
Maybe we can meet up at one of these?!?!
Would love to run this one, sounds fun. I’ve done a 10K at an airport runway, how cool would it be to run a race at a race track!
Airport runway… Now thats an interesting take off 😉
Race 13.1 has some great locations! I’m looking forward to doing one of their races!
I am looking at the Little Rock Race! It would be good training for my marathon!
Which marathon?
Indianapolis Monumental. It’s November 2nd!
What an awesome giveaway! Fingers crossed!
I hadn’t heard of this race series-I’d love to do a race in Richmond sometime.
Fingers crossed for the giveaway! The 13.1 series looks awesome!
Such a cool giveaway! I am wanting to do the Richmond 13.1 so this would be awesome!
What a great giveaway! I’d have two decisions to make if I won: Which destinations would be fun for a weekend away, and how hard to I want to work this post-partum body for a specific distance! I ‘swore’ I was only going to focus on 5k’s for the first year… But I could be swayed!
I agree… You could be swayed 😉
id love to do a 13.1 in raleigh or richmond! Awesome giveaway!
I would love to run any of the NC races! It would be a great way to cross off another state!
I think getting the season pass is a great deal. I purchased it a few weeks back and already registered for 2 races. Just running 3 races pretty much pays for the pass and a 4th race is practically free. I can’t wait to see what other races they post for the fall season..
Great locations! I love VA/NC/TN and would have a hard time choosing! 😉
Nice article. I will join 🙂 . Thanks for sharing.
