Keep That New Year’s Resolution Going—Participate in a Gulf Coast Race!

The first month of the new year is coming to an end, and for many of us this marks an important milestone in the success of a popular New Year’s resolution: getting in shape. If you’ve done really well with this resolution, you might consider rewarding yourself with a trip to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach—and put your in-shape self to the test by registering for an upcoming running event.

Coming up just next month (February 15^th to 16^th) is the 2013 Sweetheart 5k Run/Walk at The Hangout. Or if you need a little longer to prepare, the 2013 Bunny Hop Run is scheduled for April 6^th at The Wharf.

If a Gulf Shores running event is sounding like an appealing option, perhaps now is the time to kick the workout regimen into high gear and invest in a good pair of running shoes (if you haven’t already). As the big race approaches, drink lots of water and get plenty of rest. And on the day of the race, be sure to eat a light breakfast and dress in light, comfortable clothing.

A special thanks goes to The Hangout, not only for hosting the Sweetheart 5k Run/Walk, but also for providing Platinum level sponsorship to the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission. And thanks to our other Platinum sponsors—Kaiser Realty, Inc. by Wyndham VacationRentals® and Spectrum Resorts.
