Beach to Bell and a Race Discount for You and a Partner too!

Besides Disney races, the Rock n Roll Series races are probably our favorite! We've participated in the Rock n Roll VA Beach for the last several years and although its very hot, we enjoy it!

We were debating if we wanted to do VA Beach again this year or if we wanted to try RnR Philly instead.   As we were in the process of debating this, RnR and Competitor announced the Beach to Bell Challenge.
 
 
 
Run VA Beach on Aug 31 and then run Philly on September 21 and you will receive the additional 3rd medal shown above.   Since I decided to finally register for VA Beach last week,  I'm actually considering doing this challenge. 
 
Since I will already be running 2 RnR races this year ( VA Beach and Vegas), I will already be earning the Rock Encore Medal. If I throw Philly into the mix then I will earn the Triple Crown!

New this year at VA Beach is the Mile on the Beach Fun Run which will result in an additional 2 medals. One for the mile run and then one for completing the both the half marathon and the mile ( the re-mix medal).
 
 
 
If you are interested in running either the VA Beach Half Marathon or RNR Philly, use our Discount Code: GAZETTE1  for $10 off (code expires 9/14)
 
Now, I have convinced my sister that she has to run VA Beach but unfortunately the half marathon does not fit into her training schedule.  She would love to run the second half of the half marathon relay ( she ran the first half last year), if she can find a partner.  DO YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO RUN THE RELAY WITH HER?  
 
(Psss, If you've always wanted to run RNR VA Beach, this may be your time. We heard a rumor that this may be the last year for this event)
 
Are you doing any RnR races this year? Will you be at either VA Beach or Philly?   ~L

    1. Great! Hope to meet up:) I just signed up for the mile the other day. Afraid it would sell out before expo.

  4. I was looking at the RNR VA Beach half, too, but it didn't fit into my WDW Marathon training plan either. I'd be very tempted to do the relay though. Shoot me an email if you are still looking for someone as I could probably be easily talked into it. Just to warn you, I am a slow runner, but I get it done. heatherless at gmail dot com.

    1. Sounds good. I will let my sister know. Time is not an issue either.

  5. Someday I want to travel your way and run races on the other coast. Admittedly I'm kind of over RNR races (I gorged on them for a few years)...but these events do look fun.

  6. Last year for RnR Va Beach? Say it isn't so! I want to run it but just can't this time. :-( Sweet extra medal! I love that RnR is doing these challenges now!

    1. Well it isn't confirmed. Yes the extra medals always make it more enticing!

  7. Wow, We had not heard the rumor about R 'n R Virginia Beach. That would be a shame if this is the last year.

    1. Well I guess that's why they call it a rumor. Time will tell.

  8. I would love to get to a RNR at a beach... gotta be a nice breeze on those races.

    1. I'm sure the mile run will be just as hot on the beach. Every year I've run this in the past there was no breeze.

  9. So happy to hear that you'll now be at RnRVB! I can't believe the race is right around the corner! I thought about adding Philly to my race calendar after finding out about the Beach to Bell medal, but there's a fun 10k here the same weekend that I've decided to do instead.

  10. Where are you going to put all of those medals!? Can I convince you to come run the DC RnR race with me? I'm the race ambassador. It's going to be lots of fun!
