Smith Rock Road Half Marathon and 10k, May 10th. Wrap your Mother's Day into a race weekend!

Smith Rock Road Half Marathon and 10k, May 10th. Wrap your Mother's Day into a race weekend!
Vacation near Bend, Oregon for Mother's Day! "This road race is sure to become a favorite, featuring two great distances that provide amazing views of the Cascade mountains, the sheer rock faces at Smith Rock State Park and the unique beauty of the area. Both courses should be quite fast with minimal elevation change." Mothers receive a flower and medal at the finish as well as have their name in a raffle for cool prizes.

About Me

My photo
Amanda@runninghood
Running and writing are my way of connecting with myself on the deepest level and when I have them in my life, I feel my soul being fed. They make me a better ME..mother, wife, friend, and professional. I'm writing this blog to grow as an individual through reflection and sharing, challenge myself as a runner, and process my experiences with motherhood. It is a joy to connect with you. You can read more about me and how to contact me in my About Amanda section at the top of the blog. Ambassador for Nuun Hydration
