Free Entry to the Love Run Half Marathon
I am so excited to be doing my very first giveaway on the blog. As a 2016 Love Run Ambassador, I’m giving you the chance to win a FREE bib for the Love Run Half Marathon in Philadelphia on April 10, 2016!
The Love Run has quickly become one of the most popular distance races in Philly, and I’m excited that I will be there for the first time as a participant of the brand new half marathon relay (which recently SOLD OUT).
The half marathon course starts on Benjamin Franklin Parkway and takes you to Center City where you’ll pass City Hall and into Old City where you’ll pass the Liberty Bell. You’ll then have a lovely run on MLK Drive through West Fairmount Park, cross the East Falls Bridge, then turn back around and finish your race at the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Being a runner in Philadelphia, I can tell you that the races in our city do not disappoint! Expect to have lots of race support, plenty of spectators cheering you on, and a fantastic medal at the finish line! This race is all about feeling the LOVE and having fun, and I’m really looking forward to taking part this year.
Oh, and the swag is legit. Technical shirt, commemorative mug, and of course, a great medal!
And now to the giveaway of a free race entry to the Philly Love Run Half! This giveaway will be open until Thursday, March 10 so get in as many entries as you can! The winner will be announced on Friday, March 11!

I’m participating in Tuesdays on the Run with Erika, Patty, and Marcia!
Some day I want to run that race. It looks like a fabulous course!
I’m looking forward to running it, even though I’m only doing a portion of the course in the relay!
Too bad. I’ve already done PA!
You can always come back 😉
What a fun giveaway! While I am not a runner I would have loved the walk this but it is a Sunday. 🙁
Aw, no worries!
I love the sense of accomplishment that running gives me! and how strong it has made me!
Wow! Thanks for the info on this Half Marathon, I was thinking last night that I wanted to run a half in Philly this year! this sounds really cool!! I must run this!
I feel the same way about running! Good luck on the giveaway, I think you’d have a great time at the Love Run!
I love your adorable group photo! Looks like it’s a great race and a lot of fun!
Hopefully we’ll have great weather and a super fun race!
You almost had me….but that’s the day of my Climb. I’ll be thinking of you 😉
Aw…thanks Kim! Normally I do a stair climb but I’m missing out on it this year, so enjoy!
I love running in great spring weather 🙂
I can’t wait for the weather to get to spring and stick to it!
Oh I wish I still lived on the east coast! That race looks so fun!!
I’m really looking forward to it!
Staying local for races this year so I don’t think I’ll make it. Looks fun though!
Oh, totally understand!
I have heard so many great things about this race. Wish I lived closer. Races down there were always fun.
I’m looking forward to experiencing it for the first time!
So i just visited Philly for the night for the first time this past weekend and fell IN LOVE. I would LOVE to come down to run this race but I am doing a half the weekend before…not sure I could actually manage two half marathons a week apart 😛
Well I’m sure you’d do much better than I would, but no worries, there’s always next year! Hopefully if you spend a little more time on a visit to Philly we could meet up! 🙂
I would totally come to Philly for this but I’ll be in Florida for a bachelorette party that weekend. Maybe next year!
Oh no problem, have fun at the bachelorette party!
There’s quite a lot of turns on the course!
The longer Philly races tend to have a lot of turns, I guess I’m just used to it!
Why is this not in Chicago. Why can I not run. DAMN YOU BODY
:(. You’ll be back at it soon, hang in there!
Oooh. That sounds like a good race. Hope you have a good time. I’m traveling within my adopted state of Michigan for races for the first time this year. Maybe next year I’ll expand to races in other states.
Hope you are having a good winter training season!
I hope you enjoy your races in Michigan, I need to make my way over there at some point (I do have family in Muskegon)!
such an awesome giveaway! I won’t enter cuz I can’t use it but good luck to everyone else!
Totally understand. Thanks!
This looks like a fabulous coarse! I would love to run this…but I am in Vermont. My first half of 2016 is the weekend before. Have a blast!
Darn, too bad the timing won’t work! I hope you have a great race!
Cool!
I won’t be able to make it to the Love Run this year but maybe someday.
Have fun!
Thanks, Tamieka!
I have 3 little kids and I love the me time running gives me. I also love being a good example for my kids!
What a great reason to enjoy running! And I totally agree…when life is so busy, a little me time is so needed!
I love running because it’s something I can share with my family.
That’s great! My sister has started to get into running too, so it’s a great way to bond!
We love to run together to support causes we care about!
Wow, this is so cool! I’ve always wanted to do the Love Run.
Great race but terrible weather so far. I’m betting/hoping that changes this year.
I love that running is an escape, meditation, and makes me feel like a warrior. For every run I do, I feel I get better at it each time.
That’s awesome! I definitely agree that the more we run, the better we get!
Hope to run the Love Run this year. Such a great race to kick off spring!
This will be my first time doing the Love Run so I’m really excited!
Running let’s off steam and helps you stay fit, plus you can do it anywhere.
Bella, I totally agree!
We’re moving to Philly this fall and I would love to schedule a visit to coincide with this race!
That would be great. Race weekends are always fun in Philly, though sometimes they’re a little crazy! 🙂
I love the community that I’ve been able to build because of running. It’s really amazing!
I totally agree, Rebecca!
I can’t possibly travel to every run I want to do, but winning the entry would certainly help me convince the hubs to drive to Philly for this one!! Thanks!!!
Good luck! 🙂
I love the post-run feeling of accomplishment and doing something good for my body and health. I love racing too…even though I’ll never win a race!
I totally agree with you, Krystyn! It is funny when people ask if I won a race though…I wish!
Yes same here…ha to win…if only!! But it is accomplishment enough in finishing.
