The Biggest Loser RunWalk is a non-intimidating race series designed to challenge America to get fit.
The Get Fit, Get Ready! race series is a series of 5k/10k/15k’s that is designed to get you fit and ready for your next race. This series can act as a stepping stone to a longer, more challenging race or just an enjoyable experience shared with friends and family. Here is the closest one (about 1.5 hours from our boat…):
July 28, 2013
Killington, VT
5K | 15K
The Biggest Loser RunWalk Killington 5K/15K courses each have a twist! Participants run/walk down the mountain, then take the ski lift back up and continue along the mountain with breathtaking views of Killington Peak, the second highest peak in Vermont. The 5K course goes through beautiful downtown Killington while the 15K route, great for someone’s first 15K, travels along rustic wooded roads with stunning views of the Green Mountains.
The Premier Destination races are feature races consisting of a half marathon/5k. Whether it is your first half marathon or you want to hit your next PR (personal best), this series serves as a fun and rewarding race worthy of traveling to!  Here is the closest one (about 1.5 hours from my friend’s house in Chestertown…):
June 9, 2013
Plattsburgh, NY
Half Marathon | 5K
The course for The Biggest Loser RunWalk Plattsburgh, NY winds through downtown Plattsburgh and along the Saranac River which flows into Cumberland Bay
Dan & Jackie Evans were Season 5 featured contestants on the hit reality show The Biggest Loser. While on the ranch, Dan lost 136 pounds and Jackie lost 89. Since losing a combined 225 pounds, Dan and Jackie have been canvassing the country and keeping the weight off through nutrition and running.  They will be at these races.

I don’t watch the Biggest Loser TV series.  I tried a few times but it was so depressing.  The only part that intrigues me is the part about running. I am also not a fan of driving more than a hour for a race.  And the big one…will I stay healthy??  will I be able to run longer distances??

So I didn’t register….yet!

Happy Running!  Pretty tempting, don’t you think?  Anyone doing one?

  1. I would LOVE to do one of these! We watch The Biggest Loser and love it. However, I don’t want to do the off road race, and that’s what is available in my area – Atlanta area. I’m waiting to see when the Panama City 5k is. I’d be interested in that… 🙂
