#RunThisYear February Challenge

UPDATED: Winner announced at bottom — giveaway closed.

We’re a few days into February, but it’s never to late to introduce a monthly challenge.

Last month, we targeted running lots of miles. This month, we’ll focus on sharing your running experience across social media. First thing’s first:

Make sure you are following @RunThisYear on Twitter

Make sure you are following @RunThisYear on Instagram

This month’s giveaway will be presented by Road Runner Sports and they’ll be giving away a $25 gift card.

Make sure you are following @RRSports on Twitter

Make sure you are following @RRSports on Instagram

Now that we have that taken care of, let’s see what you have to do to win this gift card:

How to enter:

Take a photo of each of the below before February 27.
Share it on Instagram or Twitter and tag @RunThisYear and @RRSports
Leave a comment at the bottom of this post saying you completed the challenge.
*Runner’s Honor System

Running clothes on the floor
View from your running route
Your running shoes (while on your feet)
Your running shoe collection
Your timing device used on a run
What you are eating to recover
Something orange
Your favorite running shirt
What you drink (before, after or during a run)
A self-portrait after a run

That’s it. We’ll randomly select a winner and announce the winner on February 28th.

We know you can probably take most of these over a couple runs, but spread them out over the month and share multiple photos. This contest is all about bringing the running community together across Twitter and Instagram.

Congrats to Priscilla R or @pmarie_r on instagram — we’ll be reaching out to you shortley.

Good Luck and Have Fun With It!

I like that this is a much shorter list than other photo challenges – this is one I could actually keep up with. :)
