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).

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
