are you racing the raptor run 3k? (+ a discount code)

February 1, 2023      5 Comments

I’d love to know if you’re racing the Raptor Run 3K presented by the St. Augustine Alligator Farm with me. This is one of my favorite local races, hosted by my incredible friends at the Alligator Farm, and your support helps some of their amazing conservation program, so it’s all for the best cause!

The Details

The annual Raptor Run 3K takes places on Sunday, March 5 at 8:00AM at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park. The catch? Runners (and walkers) are up against a real-live (inflatable) velociraptor in the sprint to the finish line! Does the raptor get a little head start? Yes. But that’s all part of the fun!

What’s Included

Your registration fee includes the following:

  • 3K USATF Certified Course # FL20012JK
  • race t-shirt
  • gorgeous finishers medal
  • swag bag
  • post-race refreshments
  • one complimentary child’s ticket to the Alligator Farm with the purchase of an adult entry
(2022 Raptor Run 3k medals)

Features Of The Course

A 3K is a bit of an unusual distance, but it’s also really fun (and super family-friendly!). The course is really lovely, too, running through Davis Shores, the neighborhood that surrounds the Alligator Farm.

Even though it’s a shorter race, water station are available at the start, finish, and one-mile mark. Stay hydrated!

You can check out my race report from last year here.

Let’s Support The 2023 Conservation Partners

This year, the Raptor Run 3K’s Conservation Partners are  Orianne Center for Indigo Snake Conservation (OCIC) and AZA Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE), partnering to celebrate Eastern indigo snakes.

The Indigo Snake is now listed as a threatened species and OCIC and SAFE work hard to change that by breeding and reintroducing this snake to the wild. Every species has a role to play in our ecosystem, which means it’s vital to overcome challenges like habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and the decline of Gopher Tortoise communities in order to help Indigo Snakes thrive in our region once again.

Ready To Register + ***DISCOUNT CODE***

In 2023, the Raptor Run 3K caps at 500 entrants, so you’ll want to register soon!

And, thanks to Alligator Farm, I have a discount code to share with the first 20 people to use it to register! Code “RUNSWITHPUGS” will save you 10% on your entry fee!

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!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
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?!
