Registration for the Norfolk Harbor Half Marathon increases tonight at midnight! This race was my absolute favorite Half Marathon I’ve ever run (and I’ve done 35 so I’ve got experience in this area). It wasn’t difficult for me to come up with some of my favorite things about this race weekend. Here are seven reasons you should register for the 2018 Norfolk Harbor Half Marathon.
1. THE SWAG
J&A races are known for all the extra swag they gift to runners. In addition to race shirts, I received a beanie last year. I’ve also received things like beach towels and backpacks at their other events.
2. MERMAIDS EVERYWHERE
I didn’t realize that the signature symbol for the city of Norfolk is the mermaid. They’re everywhere! I’m fascinated by mermaids so I couldn’t get enough of all the statues throughout the city.
3. THE VIEW
This race starts downtown and takes you through a beautiful, waterside course. Everything was beautiful and historic. I’d also like to mention that the course is flat- I got my PR here!
4. TRIPLE THE MEDALS
Challenge yourself to run the Get Nauti Challenge by adding the 5k on Saturday and receive a total of three medals! The challenge medal is quite honestly the most gorgeous medal I’ve ever earned.
5. THE POST RACE PARTY
I shut this party down and stayed until last call both days. With a live band, photo booth, and Blue Moon on tap, there’s so much to love about this after party.
6. THE COMMUNITY
Join the J&A Training Team to take part in a 16 week training program with fellow runners. This training team will support you through the entire training process and provide you with the motivation to knock out every long run. You can learn more here.
7. THE PHILANTHROPY
$1 from every registration is donated to the We Promise Foundation. You find more information on this charity here.
Are you convinced? Then hurry over the the website and register now. Save up to $15 when you register before midnight!
