best damn reasons to register early for best damn race (+ a bdr discount code)

October 30, 2019      7 Comments

Do you register early for races, or wait until closer to the event date to make a move? Today, let’s talk about the reasons you should register early, especially for events like Best Damn Race.

register early

There are several schools of thought about when to register for races. Some people take their time, preferring to see what life brings. They want to make sure their schedules allow for the event, and even keep an eye out for potential injuries that might sideline them.

Me? I take the proactive route. When I see a races I want to run, especially popular ones like Best Damn Race, my next stop is my wallet. Call it FOMO if you must, but there are plenty of great reasons to register early!

Lower Prices!

The earlier you register for a race, the lower that entry fee will be. Early bird pricing for races can be reasonable, but with Best Damn Race, they are crazy low. Rather than actual date cutoffs for price increases, BDR raises prices in increments of registrations. Check out pricing for the upcoming Safety Harbor race:

Spots are filling up, but are still super reasonable, and you can still snag a half marathon space in Safety Harbor for just $70! (even less if you use code RUNSWITHPUGS for a 10% savings).

Savannah’s Half Marathon is $60 and the 5K is $25! In New Orleans, you can run the BDR Half for just $65! Orlando’s race has been selling fast so prices are just slightly higher, so you don’t want to miss out!

Less Stress!

You read that correctly: registering early for Best Damn Race events helps alleviate stress. These races absolutely sell out and waiting means worrying if you’ll be able to snag a spot. No one needs to be anxious about missing out on fabulous running moments like this, so get your registration done as soon as possible!

Higher Motivation!

Now that you’ve paid for your race and put it on the calendar, you have an established goal. Training is just little bit easier when you have a target in sight. The longer you wait to sign up for a race, the greater the tendency to let other plans get in the way. Early registration keeps you on track and your eye on the prize.

More Swag!

Some races offer bonus amenities to early registrants, and Best Damn Race happens to be one of them. This year, in addition to the best damn shirts and best damn medals around, each market is offering custom socks to select quantities of pre-registered runners. By getting in on the action sooner, you actually get even more for your money, by guaranteeing extra goodies. Early registration clearly equals “wise financial decisions.”

    I’ve heard great things about this race series. I can’t commit to 2020 but maybe it will be my travel race in 2021!

    These races sound so fun, but they’re so far away from Iowa ;-(

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
