You will find me - for the third-straight year - at the ZOOMA Cape Cod Women's Half on September 26, 2015. The run has both a 10k and Half option.
This race is great for a girls weekend on the beach or a romantic weekend away. While the race is almost all women, there are some gentlemen that take part as well!
How can you pass up a race that ends with a party on the beach complete with snacks and wine? ;)
