As some of you may know, I’m one of the Victoria Goddess Run ambassadors for 2015.
The reasons that I chose to be an ambassador fall in line with the reasons why you should run it too. It’s an amazing event and I’m thrilled to see it growing every year.
I ran the half marathon last year and fell in love with the atmosphere surrounding this event.
So, this year, when I saw that there was a way to become involved in spreading the word about it- I jumped at the chance.
Above: recruiting some Goddesses! 😉
1. It welcomes female runners of all levels. It doesn’t matter if you can run a 7 minute mile or a 14 minute mile. You can run the race and have a lot of fun doing it.
2. There are 3 distances to choose from: the half marathon, 10k and 5k. It’s great to have an event that lets you choose how far to run. You are bound to find a race that fits into your training schedule and running experience.
3. It benefits three great local charities: Victoria Women’s Transition House Society, KidSport Greater Victoria, and Victoria Sexual Assault Centre. These charities offer extremely valuable programs and services in our community. This event is an amazing way to support the work that they do.
4. Meet great, like-minded people (aka other Goddesses). You all can celebrate your achievements together. What’s better than a healthy atmosphere for meeting new friends with similar interests?
5. There are awesome deals on great products and services in the virtual race bag. Not only that, but there are great post-race goodies at the finish line.
Lastly, the feeling of accomplishment you get from finishing a race will never be taken away from you. Have fun, help great charities and meet awesome people.
I hope to see you at the Goddess Expo and on race day, June 7th. 🙂
