It’s Not Half of Anything! Skirt Sports 13er Race Entry Giveaway.
What’s a 13er?
The 13er. You may be wondering what’s a thirteener? A thirteener is a half marathon, 13.1 miles. A half marathon is half of the marathon distance of 26.2, but if you have ever run one you know that a half marathon should not be treated as or thought of as only half of something. No matter what distance you are running, walking, skipping, dancing or maybe even prancercising (haha!), you are getting up and getting out there and getting your body moving and that is what’s important. As a Skirt Sports ambassador I have come to love the name thirteener as opposed to a half marathon. As Nicole DeBoom founder of Skirt Sports says, “It’s not half of anything!”
Running a thirteener is an incredible accomplishment. It takes time, sweat, dedication, persistance, hard work, laughter and maybe even some tears to run 13.1 miles. When you have finished you will feel proud and happy because you jumped in and ran because more than anything you love to run and to move!
On June, 14 in Louisville Colorado, Skirt Sports will be hosting the Skirt Sports Thirteener which also includes 10K and 5K options. If you are like me and your summer schedule is jam packed full and you very sadly cannot make it to Colorado for the actual race then you can jump in for some fun anyways by participating in the Virtual Skirt Sports 13er. If you are ready to register then be sure to use my discount code at checkout: ORM25AMB and you can enter on the Skirt Sports website HERE. Pricing for entry varies based upon which package and distance you choose but the cool thing is that all finishers will receive a Skirt Sports Gift Certificate. If you choose to race the 13er you will get this super comfy 13er Finishers Tee Skirt!

I agree — 13.1 is no joke! I prefer 10 milers.

Look forward to running virtually with you! RealWomenMove!

Would love to participate in person, but since I can’t winning a virtual race entry would be icing on the cake!!!
What I love most about running is how much better I feel: stress reduction, better sleep, better strength, more energy. I’m training for my first 13er now to mark a major milestone in my life and will be in Colorado for the Skirt Sports 13er this year, so for the moment, my favorite thing about participating in this particular race is the anticipation of being around enthusiastic people, having fun, and being in a cooler more beautiful place!
Running is my best form of stress reduction. This will be my first 13er, so for now, looking forward and making plans to be in Colorado are my favorite part!
I love 13.1! I’ve run 25 1/2 marathons and it is still my favorite distance. I love it because it’s something I need to work to accomplish and focus on as opposed to a shorter race. I love the feeling of crossing the finish line knowing what I just succeeded in doing.
Yay for 13ers! Just ran my 6th last Saturday at the Big Lake Half! Its my favorite distance because its just long enough to be a challenge, but doesn’t knock me out for the day.
Super excited about the virtual race, as I also can’t get to CO from NH! Thanks for sharing!

My favorite distance is the half marathon. Would love to do a virtual run. Never done one before!
When I run by myself, I love the time to destress and reflect what is going on in my life. When I run in a group, I love being with other women and talking about the different joys and stresses we have going on.
I love running because it gives me peace and the 13r is my favorite distance. Long enough to have to train and short enough not to feel like death afterward!

I am not the best runner. Pretty spastic as a matter of fact! But I love the running skirts. 🙂
This virtual race is popping up all over the place! Looks so fun!

Have not ran a full 13.1 yet but I have run 11+ miles.
Running gives me a great sense of accomplishment and reminds me anything is possible. I’ve run more than 50 13ers!
I won’t be able to run it (girls weekend) but I won’t say no for a chance at a gift certificate 🙂 Virtual races are so awesome!

I’ve run dozens of HMs, and each one presented its own challenges and rewards. No one should belittle a half marathon!
This is exciting! I have run more than 20 times the distance 13.1. It’s my favorite race distance! Looking forward to run it one more time with you virtually.
I love what running does for my cardiovascular health. My longest race so far is a 10k.
I’ve done it once in my life (about 4.5 years ago)! It’s really hard to believe that now! :O

What I ;love most about running is that feeling of freedom! As busy mom of 2X little ones my runs are my only time I get to myself 🙂 I have run 5 half marathons to date… that if you don’t count the 13.1 I ran at the end of my half ironman 😉
LOVE the thought behind the name. Those running 13.1 train just as hard sometimes and non-runners just don’t get that just because it’s called a half marathon doesn’t make the journey half as hard

Haha I love that! It’s totally not “just a half marathon”… I wish we could officially call it a 13er!

I love the 13.1 mile distance! It is just the right amount of miles.
This looks like fun!

Girl!!! If you’re gunna run, you should RUN IN STYLE! 🙂 These skirts – BOOM! They get the job done!

I love skirt sports, you should look good when you run and skirt sports looks good even if you are sweaty!
Although I don’t love the campaign name, this does look like fun! Hope you enjoy the race 😀

Thirteen is my typical long run now so getting my long run in and getting a little bling is a win win.

I am looking forward to a race that will reinvigorate my running and the skirt should do the trick!!!
I love the connection with nature and the peaceful feeling after a run. I have run a 10K as my longest race, but am looking forward to trying a 13.1.
Awesome Sadie! And congratulations! You are the winner of the #13er Giveaway! I have sent you an e-mail so please be on the lookout!
What a great idea!! this would certainly get me off my butt and out in the sunshine!! Love it!

I will run to support my wife, I love the long distance races
I love that quote about it not being half of anything! A half marathon is a beast in and of itself! 🙂

I love the me time when I am running. It is nice to just be out on my own doing something for myself.
I love running because it’s a great stress reliever!
I really enjoy the 13.1 distance. It is fairly easy to build mileage to train for and it seems to fit well with my weekends for long runs.
Never run a 13er, but I love the way running makes you feel like you’re doing something good for not only your body but also your mind.
I love the half marathon distance! I’m not sure how many I’ve run but I’d guess at least 50 or 60.
Debbie recently posted…Are You Confident Enough to #GoCommando?
What a great giveaway! The longest I’ve run for a race is 10 miles, but the 13.1 does tempt me…
Hmmm, what I love about running… that’s a toughy because I don’t actually love running, but I push myself to continue to train by running (and swim, bike) because it IS such a difficult sport for me. It is the one sport that makes me push through the “i don’t wanna’s” every single time. But, I also LOVE the feeling of finishing whatever sort of run i complete- i know I made it over some sort of hurdle. Hope that made sense 🙂
oh yeah, and yes, I have run 5 13’er’s. The first one I trained for and puked and hated it. The next 4 I ran with friends because they needed a buddy to keep them going… I LOVED those 4 because I was just out there supporting someone else, I was just along to help out.. that’s the best!
I haven’t ran in a virtual race before, but the concept is very interesting! I would like to give one a try!
I find running on a nice day very refreshing and invigorating. I admit I am a bit of a fair weather runner and have not run 13 miles yet.
