I am SO excited to announce that I have been chosen as a Best Damn Race Ambassador! I ran the inaugural Best Damn Race this past February. They were nice enough to have it on my birthday 02/02/13. Hubby and I both ran the 5K in what would be the first race in a year of running for me. I loved this event. It was close to home for me in beautiful Safety Harbor, right along the water of Tampa Bay. Since it was in February, the weather was a crisp winter day. It could not have been a better day to celebrate my birthday and run a race.
The Best Damn Race is coming back to Safety Harbor on 02/01/14 and this time I am running the half marathon. And even more exciting? The Best Damn Race, in only it’s second year, is branching out to Orlando on 03/01/14. I am going to run the half marathon there as well. Besides the excitement of running two half marathons a month apart, I will also earn a super cool “Double” medal, in addition to the medal they will give out at each event. Three medals for two races? I’m going to need another medal display! (The Double medal is given to participants who run the half marathon distance in both cities.)
So, why should you register for the Best Damn Race? There are so many reasons…
- 5K / 10K / Half-Marathon / 5K + 10K Challenge
- Best Damn t-shirt
- Best Damn finisher medal
- Best Damn Health & Fitness Expo
- Best Damn goodie bags
- Best Damn post-race party
- Best Damn entry fee (structured based on number of entries!)
- Free beer, food, and massages
- Free race photos & video for those who register by 11/11/13 (Orlando only)
Here’s a glimpse into the great fun that was had back in February at the inaugural race….
I cannot wait until the next Best Damn Race. This is “a race for runners by runners”. They put runners first and the runner’s experience is their top priority. Their goal is to put on the Best Damn Race possible. And they do. Here is my race recap for the 2013 Best Damn Race.

**The Best Damn Race has comp’d my entry fee for the Safety Harbor half marathon but all opinions are my own.
Love the BDR and congrats on being named Ambassador. Love seeing myself decked out in my Polar gear at :21 in the video LOL.
Thanks Jenny! It’s so cool that you are the video. Watching it makes me want to go out there RIGHT NOW and run!
This looks like a lot of fun! I’m thinking about doing the run in Safety Harbor but I’d stick to a 5 or 10K, not way I could do the half.
What a great way to celebrate your birthday!
The 5K was so fun last year. It’s so pretty out there. Hope to see you out there!
Yaaaaaay!!! Love this post!!! Miss seeing you. We need to get our butts to yoga.
Thanks Beth! I’m so excited. I love BDR. Miss seeing you, too. We definitely need to get to yoga. I will need it after my half marathon.
I’ll be running the 10K and this will be my first longer distance race in over 2 years. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the discount code!
