Running Travel — 05 October 2012

Earlier this year I was a race ambassador and ran in the Zooma Atlanta Half Marathon & 5K. I had a blast and was thrilled when they asked me if I would do it again for their new Zooma Florida Half Marathon & 5K on January 19, 2013, at the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island. It doesn’t take much to convince me to have a girlfriends getaway, at the beach, on a flat course, then celebrate with a post-race after party and some wine. Ahem.

OK, I’m there already! Judging by this picture of the Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island, the views are going to AMAZING!

If this sounds ideal to you, too, I’ve got a special discount code you can use to get 10 percent off registration for either distance.

For today only, (10/5), Zooma will donate $10 to a charity of my choice each time the code is used. Awesome, right? I’m going to ask them to donate to one of the many wonderful programs and events the American Cancer Society has like DeterminNation or Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I’m on the American Cancer Society’s Blogger Advisory Council and love working with them to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Oh, and remember that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Make sure you’re getting your regular breast exams, doing self-breast exams, and getting mammograms if you’ve reached that lovely age or if necessary.

The Zooma folks also have some special perks for anyone that registers for ZOOMA Florida before November 4 – they people will get a training care package mailed to them. The package will be full of necessary and fun goodies to set you up for a success race. Nice!

Me and the gals at the finish of the Atlanta Zooma Race. Fun!

Winks & Smiles,

Disclosure: I’m a race ambassador for Zooma Florida and will receive a complimentary race registration and some other goodies for the race. As always, my thoughts and opinions are all my own.

  1. This is so incredibly awesome in so many ways! Love the discount plus the fact that today’s registrations benefit ACS!

  2. OMG… the timing for this is perfect for me. Hmmmmm I wonder how easy it is to get there? OFF to look!!

  3. I LOVE this promotion, Lorraine. I’ve actually really been eyeing this race. I think it would be so fun and the perfect time of year. I’m trying to talk my mom into doing it too. The Hot Chocolate 15K is the weekend before in ATL, so trying to decide if I can do them both back to back.

    Thanks again for being such a great ambassador foir the running community and the American Cancer Society!
