The Race to Nantucket: How It Works
Last year's winners Nakia Morgan and Tracy Hanley. Check out their stories here.
Our friends at Saucony are giving away another trip to the Nantucket Half Marathon! If you participated in 2015 (check out last year's winners here), you'll notice we're doing things a little differently this year. We still want to hear how you Find Your Strong everyday (in fact, we want you to post your stories here so that others can be inspired!), but we want you to get involved and help us spread the word. Through the month of July, earn points by spreading inspiration through social media and attending Charm City Run events. The participant with the most points at the end of the month will win the free trip for 2 to the Nantucket Half Marathon in October.
How to earn points:
1. Earn 5 points just for registering here. (You must register to be eligible for this contest)
2. Earn 2 points everytime you use the #racetonantucket and tag @charmcityrun and @saucony on Instagram or Twitter*
3. Earn 10 points when you join the Find Your Strong Facebook Group and post your story to the page. Click here to join the group and post your story. (Please note: If you entered our contest last year, you are welcome to post the same story to the group and get your points! We will count one store per individual)
4. Earn 10 points when you attend a Charm City Run or VITA store event in July. Check out the schedule here. Be sure to let us know when you arrive so you get your points! (Please note: Races, Training Runs and Packet Pick-Ups at the store do not count)
5. NEW! Get 10 extra points for trying on new Saucony styles at any Charm City Run location (one per contestant, starting July 18th)
