I don't know about you but I am a huge The Biggest Loser fan! I watch it each and every season....and cry during every episode! (I'm not kidding!) So when The Biggest Loser RunWalk Race series came close to me I jumped at the chance to run it! I signed up for the race in Panama City Beach, FL back in February!!! And I convinced (didn't take much) my friend Paige to run it with me. That race is almost here...I'll be running it on December 29th! And I'm super super excited!
Just recently I learned that The Biggest Loser RunWalk race will be held even closer to me...in Mobile, AL! I'm super excited to say that I will be running that one too!!!
I'm really looking forward to getting to meet some of the past contestants at the race! My first time meeting contestants was when I ran the Rock 'n' Roll Savannah Half Marathon in November 2011. Dan and Jackie were there and I was in awe!!! They looked amazing!
And then in March of this year I met Patrick House at the Crescent City Classic! Again...I was in awe of how amazing he looked! The transformation of these contestants is unbelievable!
So yes...I can say that I am really excited to meet more Biggest Loser Contestants at the races! Dan and Jackie will be at the Panama City Beach and Mobile races. And Gina McDonald from Season 14 will be at the Mobile race! I'm hoping to meet others too!
The Biggest Loser RunWalk races offer the following race categories:
- Road Races: Consist of a 5K and a Half Marathon
- Off-Road Challenge: Designed by Spartan Race and is a mud run, obstacle run, and trail run
- Kid Fit One Mile Fun Run or Obstacle Race- Every venue has an event for the kids which I LOVE!
My focus is the Road Race category so that's what I'll be telling you about! (This girl doesn't do mud or obstacle runs...yet)!
