Get Ready For Race Day!...and of course, lots of other cool stuff...in fact, there is once again so much news, Peachy decided to throw in a numbered list to make sure you don't miss a thing! Read on to learn more about:1. Get Ready For The ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon 2. Silver Comet 10K 3. Eye Run Chart The Course 5K/10K 4. Big Peach 5K 5. Test Drive Some Cool New Kicks 6. Nike+ Run Club 1. The ING Georgia Marathon and Half Marathon are mere weeks away – are you ready for race day? To help make that answer a resounding “yes,” Big Peach Running Co. is excited bring you the final installment in our series of Registration To Race Day clinics! Join us Saturday, March 7th at 7:30am at BPRC Decatur for a great way to spend a Saturday morning! Race Director Michael Hughes will be on hand to share some insight about the Expo, the race course, and other logistics to help make race weekend, and especially race day, a smooth enjoyable experience! Also on board to impart some important pre-race knowledge is Janice Bashore of Mizuno USA. Janice will offer her world famous “What’s In The Bag?” presentation. Learn some invaluable tips on what to pack in that bag you drop off at the start of the race and pick up at the finish. Following the clinic, members of the Mizuno/ING pace team will lead a group run/walk taking you on sections of the actual race route! Suggested mileage is 13 for half marathoners and 21 for full marathoners. For most folks, this will be the last long run before the taper (the favorite part of marathon training for many!) If your training program is a bit different, don’t panic we’ve got maps for all kinds of distances from 3 miles on up. So even if you’re just gathering information while you consider your first marathon, and still want to go out for a spin, we’ve got you covered. And, if all that isn’t incentive enough to get up early on a Saturday, the folks from Georgia Sports Massage will be there to help you recover from the long mileage. Yup, that’s right massage therapists will be awaiting your return. (A nominal fee of $1 per minute will be charged.) Of course no BPRC event is complete without the chance to win some cool prizes, and if you have not yet put in your ING race application, a discounted rate will be offered during the event. Save $5.00 off the half marathon fee, and $10 off the full. The Details: What: Get Ready For Race Day Where: BPRC, 114 E. Trinity Place, Decatur, GA 30030, 404.377.7370 When: Saturday, March 7 at 7:30am clinic, 8:00am group run/walk Register Now! As always, this event is free of charge and open to runners and walkers of all abilities. 2. We interrupt this program of in-store events for a brief message about the 11th Annual Silver Comet 10K. Have you signed up yet? Registration continues at all 4 BPRC locations for this flat, fast, fun Peachtree Road Race qualifier! But wait…there’s more…like timing chips for the first time ever…like results will be published by 2:00pm the same day so you can submit your time with your Peachtree application…like a great post race party, and proceeds benefitting numerous community and school running programs! 3. Speaking of in-store registration, it begins this week for the Eye Run – Chart The Course. Taking place in McDonough, this race offers a 5K, 10K or Tot Trot. Presented by OneSight, proceeds from this event will go to the very important charities under their umbrella dedicated to help the more than 250 million people worldwide in need of eye care. 4. Oh, and while we’re taking our commercial break, don’t forget a special little 5K taking place on May 2 – that’s right it’s the 4th Annual Big Peach 5K. In-store registration is going on now at all 4 of our stores for this fun party. Nike DriFit Shirts to finishers, entertainment, food, and lots more! Presented by the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO), proceeds from our race will benefit the Georgia chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. OK, back to our regularly scheduled program… 5. If you're a frequent reader of Peachy News, then you know we are in the midst of several opportunities to test drive some new kicks. This week brings you the opportunity to test drive Adidas at BPRC Decatur on March 3, New Balance at BPRC Atlanta on March 4, Adidas at BPRC Kennesaw on March 5, and New Balance at BPRC Marietta on March 5, all taking place at 6:30pm. For more information, and to register for any of these events, click here! We decided to add a twist to our Atlanta New Balance test drive: What do New Balance Running Shoes have in common with the 80’s? 1) you could buy them back then, and 2) we thought it would be fun to have an 80’s theme night for our test drive of the newly updated NB 1063 and 769. Whether you’re stuck in the 80’s, nostalgic for the 80’s, or were born in the 80’s, come to Big Peach Atlanta at 6:30pm this Wednesday evening for a chance to go for a run in some different shoes that are appropriate for you. A costume contest, 80’s treats and music round out this evening, so bust out those headbands and leg warmers, pop your favorite Van Halen song in your Ipod, and let’s party like it’s 1989! Register Now! 6. Introducing the Nike+ Run Club! Beginning March 10 at BPRC Decatur, and March 11 at BPRC Atlanta, it's the Nike+ Run Club! Open to runners and walkers of all abilities, this is a great way to meet training partners, run just for the fun of it, and win some cool prizes, including the chance for a free pair of Nike shoes! We'll have theme runs, post-run celebrations, and so much more! Read on for more information... Have a Peachy week everyone, and May Your Best Miles Be Those Covered On Foot! |
