Enter to Win a Race Entry to the San Francisco Nike Women’s Half Marathon on October 19th, 2014!
Once again this year, I am partnering with Whole Foods Market Northern California, and I will be running for them in the San Francisco Nike Women’s Half Marathon. I am really excited to have been asked again (by Whole Foods), and I am even more excited that I WILL BE GIVING AWAY TWO ENTRIES to this SOLD OUT race right here on this website (SCROLL DOWN FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ENTER)!
You might be familiar with this race because of it’s scenic course through San Francisco and the only half marathon series to give it’s finishers a Tiffany necklace instead of a finisher’s medal!! Not only that, but the necklace is given to you by a firefighter dressed in a tuxedo! 🙂
Here I am following last year’s race wearing my finisher’s necklace (and shirt from the race!):
I’ll be sharing some recipes with food provided to me by Whole Foods Market, and providing my training reports from now leading up to October 19th.
It’s been a while since I have run a half marathon (last November), so I will be putting in some hard work from now until race day. Here’s a favorite post of mine sponsored by Whole Foods from last year’s training.
Here’s this year’s course map:
This giveaway is for a race entry only. Once you win, you will be responsible for the $180 entry fee.–The entry does not include transportation, hotel, or parking the day of the race.

I’m working on myself this year! I’ve gone Paleo & gluten free as much as I can, dropped 40 lbs & have been training for the urban cow. It’s been a long time since I’ve ran, but it feels so good to be getting my fitness on again. Running in the Nike 1/2 would be a lot of fun!

I would love the chance to be a Nike 2014 finisher! I have been fortunate enough to participate in this race through Team in Training as well as getting in through the lottery draw 6 of the last 10 years. I’d love to add another Tiffany charm and smooch from one if those San Francisco firefighters if given the chance! Pick me!!! Pretty please!!!

I ran the nike half marathon last year. It was the best experience of my life! I struggle with fatigue since I have Hasimoto’s disease (it’s an autoimmune disease that destroys your thyroid) and battle with other symptoms. I’m a runner….not a fast runner….but a runner who feels accomplished when I finish a race. It’s not about my time, it’s about my accomplishment. I was devastated when I wasn’t picked in the lottery. I’m still running as if I’m running the nike half marathon. I don’t have the heart to stop because then I won’t have anything to look forward to (I’m not registered for any other races right now). I went gluten free this year and whole foods has really helped me really enjoy all kinds of foods. I never knew how much there was for gluten free until I shopped at whole foods. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything now! It would be a dream come true to run the nike half again!

I would love to run the Nike Womens Half with my mom this year. She’s been picked, and I’m so excited for her, and continue to train with her. We did our first 1/2 last year, and I would love to keep our tradition alive!

I am 52 yrs old and would love the opportunity to run this half marathon with my older sister who was picked!! I have never been lucky enough to have been picked for any race I have attempted to get in to. I live in GA and she lives in Los Angeles and we have been training together!!! We have been diligently training with the SFRUN Nike Training App : )
I am a US Army Vet; raised 3 daughters on my own and have always enjoyed running. I have 2 grand kids that cheer me on on all my runs!!! It would be wonderful to be able to do this run with my sister!!!!!!

I ran my first full Marathon last year after going thru major life changes the previous 2.5 yrs. I found running to be my outlet. It makes me a better mother, friend, daughter, and it makes me better at my job as a respiratory therapist for children. Running makes my life better. I would love to run Nike Womens SF 2014 1/2 Marathon.
