I don’t know if it is just me, but as soon as the air get a bit crisper and the temperatures drop, all I have on my mind is running. When the leaves start changing, there is nothing I’d rather be doing. I’m actually not signed up for any fall races just yet, but I am looking at some in October and November, so I still have time to get some running in before them, since I’ve been focusing more on obstacle races and not road running. I also fell pretty hard during Running Dirty, and my knee has felt a little off since then, but it’s been getting better with time, and hopefully it will be ready in time for racing.
If you are looking for a fall race, the Women’s Health RUN10 FEED10 is a great option. This is the second year that the race is being run and it takes place on September 22 in New York City on the West Side Highway. The concept behind the race is simple: run a 10K and provide 10 meals for those struggling with hunger in New York. Last year, RUN10 FEED10 raised 1 million meals nationwide and Women’s Health is also encouraging all runners to try to raise $100 in donations, to help further support the cause. Right now, over 50 million Americans are food insecure, meaning they don’t know from where their next meal is coming and this number includes a lot of hungry little bellies. Doing something you already love to do, will allow lots of kids receive the food and nourishment they need.
After the race, all participants will be invited to take part in a post-race Wellness Festival with post-run yoga, giveaways and freebies from some great bands and a special concert by Naya Rivera from Glee. You also get a limited edition RUN10 FEED 10 bag and bracelet wen you sign up.
There will also be timed 10Ks in Chicago and San Francisco, as well as, fun runs in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Seattle. There is also a cool Run Your Own 10K feature where you can run a virtual 10K, and still help support the cause the RUN10 FEED10 stands for.
If you want to sign up head over the the RUN10 FEED10 page, and use code R10F10USA for $5 off registration!
If you can’t make it to the race, but want to held spread the word about the cause, you can enter to win one of the RUN10 FEED10 bags, to get the word out about the race series.
Are you signed up for any races this fall?
This is such a great cause! I wish there was one closer to where I live! The bags are super cute and I think it’s awesome they’ll be having a post run Wellness Festival 🙂
What a cool idea! I love this!
