This is a sponsored post. I am a ZOOMA Florida Ambassador. In exchange for my promotion and review of the 2015 event, I will be compensated with one race entry and sponsor gifts. All opinions are my own.
While it seems that here in Florida autumn will never get here, the fall and winter racing season is ramping up.
I don’t know about you, but I am so, incredibly ready.
There is just something about racing. I (usually) love my training runs and the feeling of getting ready for something, but now, we are just weeks away from the start of the big payoffs.
I am even more excited to be wrapping up my winter races with ZOOMA Florida in Amelia Island on January 17, 2015.
I announced that I will be back as a 2015 Ambassador for the ZOOMA Florida event, and it’s just such a great way to experience a race. I met so many great and inspiring athletes last year, both among my fellow ambassadors and in those who came out to run, and I am fortunate to have the chance to do it again this year.
ZOOMA Florida offers the complete race package. From the stunning venue
to the luxurious host hotel
to the bustling expo
to the well-planned course
to the thoughtful after-party
to the wonderful people
– every detail is in order.
Your registration will provide you the following:
- Entry into a scenic, professionally-managed, and timed half marathon, 12K or 5K race
- Access to full fit girls weekend schedule – a Fitness Expo, an Honest Tea Mocktail Party, and an After-Party Expo featuring wine from Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, post-race massages, shopping, and music
- ZOOMA Signature Swag Bag (over $50 value)
- Water and Cytomax Sports Performance drink stationed along the course and at the finish line
- Muscle Milk Light and food at the finish line
- A sweet ZOOMA medal for all finishers!
- Access to special room rates at the official race hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island
As I mentioned earlier this week, ZOOMA Florida has added a 12K distance to the weekend, which is the perfect midway distance between the half and the 5K. The series also has some wonderful sponsors and will be hosting some great events leading up to the big day.
Doesn’t it all sound wonderful?

I wish I lived closer! This sounds like such a fun event! I’ll be in FL at the beginning of January, but I don’t think I could pull off going back down so soon. Booo!
