LA 13.1 Marathon: Entry Giveaway

Hey guys. Doing another race giveaway for the LA 13.1 (Half) Marathon taking place at 7am on Sunday, January 13th. This is a pretty cool course and like last year, I will be participating to kick off the new year.

The race starts at the Venice Boardwalk on Rose, runs out of Venice through Marina Del Rey, then runs down the boardwalk and back up Vista Del Mar before finishing at the end of Playa Vista.

To enter, please simply 1) follow me on Twitter (if you aren't already) and 2) retweet my original Tweet. Winner will be announced Tuesday, January 8th.

Here are some additional details...hope to see you there!:

·         Allstate® Life Insurance and non-profit organization Give Your Sole have partnered to collect moderately used athletic shoes to donate to charity at the Allstate Life Insurance Los Angeles 13.1 Marathon® on Sunday, January 13.

·         All shoes collected in Los Angeles will benefit the Union Rescue Mission, an organization that is dedicated to serving men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. The Union Rescue Mission is one of the largest rescue missions of its kind in the United States, and the oldest in Los Angeles.

Following already, and retweeted! I've been wanting to do this race for awhile now...my husband ran it last year and raved about how awesome the course was.
