New Year's Race Los Angeles

Y’all… I am so excited! If you saw my Facebook post last week, you know what’s coming, but I get to officially announce it!

So a few weeks back, I saw an announcement that the NewYear’s Race was looking for their ambassador team for the 2015 race. 

Now, this race is only going into its third year (as of the 2015) race, but I’ve wanted to do it since then. Its inaugural 2013 race was when I still lived in Georgia, and I was already going to be back at work by the time the race was happening (typically the weekend after New Years, obviously). This year, I really wanted to do it, but by the time I figured out my schedule with work and other races, it was a little too out of my budget to make it work. 

So now… I finally get to run it!

I’m excited to be a New Year’s Race 2015 ambassador. I’m part of a team of about 15 folks (out of 50!) that will be working race expos and spreading the NYR (and other Jive Live races, like the inaugural Dodgers 5K in September) love all around LA for the next 8 months! So stoked.

The race is Saturday, January 3, and the half marathon runs from Dodger Stadium to LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. Being that the race is in the evening, you literally get to run LA at night, under all the lights. 

There is also a 5K, and they’re adding a new 10K for the 2015 line up too, so there’s a race for everyone! Registration cost goes up again on May 31, but using the code below, you can save $15! Do it now before it goes up and join me as we #runLAatnight.

The folks at Jive Live are also putting together some really awesome races in the next few months, so stay tuned for more race info too! Get excited!  For more information, you can follow the NYR Facebook page here and on Twitter here too!

Will you come run LA at night with me?
