Sweetheart 5k Updates

I know not all of you are on facebook, and many of you might now check the race websites very often. . . so I wanted to give you some updates on the Sweetheart 5k!

Dash for the Diamond: Wade Designs will hold a drawing after the race for a DIAMOND! All 5k runners are automatically entered, but you must be present to win. We are very excited about a prize of this size at a local 5k. Please consider Wade Designs for your next Jewelry purchase.

New Shirt Design: We heard the feedback from 2009. . . guys don't wear shirts with cupid in purple hightops! This years new shirt design has more of a "rock 'n roll" edge to it. Cupid is still the official race logo, but the 2010 shirt rocks! (click to enlarge)

Beach Get-Away: The Rocky Mount Residence Inn has made arrangements for a two night stay at the Morehead City Hampton Inn! In a separate drawing, 5k runners will be able to win this weekend stay overlooking the beach. Once again you must be present to win.

Raleigh Running Outfitters: Jim Micheels at Raleigh Running Outfitters has once again offer big support to the Sweetheart 5k with $870 in gift certificates as awards. These will be given out to overall and age group winners in addition to their custom race medals.

FREE sack packs: The first 150 runners to register will receive a free sports sack pack. These draw string bags are perfect for the gym or when packing for your next race. Sign up soon. . . these will go fast! (click to enlarge)

Wine for the "Sweethearts": Ventosa Plantation Vineyard and Winery will provide some of their local wine to the winners of the Sweetheart Couples Division. Ventosa is located in Scotland Neck, NC.

I honestly believe the Sweetheart 5k, will provide one of the best prize packs of any 5k race in North Carolina. Please consider signing up today, and please help spread the word! We rely heavily on word-of-mouth to advertise our races. This enables us to invest more back into your race experience.
