I am really excited to be an Ambassador for the Fit Foodie 5k race series in Fairfax, Virginia this year. What’s the Fit Foodie Race you ask? Well it’s not just a race but a whole weekend (May 20-22) of fun cooking, health and fitness events in one. Check out this yummy line up of events:
Friday, May 20th (6-8 pm)
Party with a purpose! Kick off the weekend by mingling with the editors of Cooking Light and Health magazines at True Food Kitchen while you sample some healthy eats and have the chance to win some amazing swag. I absolutely love True Food and eat there often. There is also a donation station for your used athletic shoes to Souls4soles.

The tastiest 5k around! Walk or run and earn that finisher’s medal. Don’t forget to pick up your swag bag full of healthy goodies. Race registration also includes entrance to the John Hancock Vitality Village post race celebration, featuring, food and beverage samples, culinary demonstrations, mini fitness classes led by acclaimed professionals, huge raffle prizes. Feel like celebrating? Adult beverages are served too. Run, Eat,Drink, Yum! This post run brunch photo was taken by MCM Mama Runs at last years event.
You might even see some VIP runners hanging around post race. Bill Rodgers (4 time Boston Marathon champion) and Caroline Rotich (2015 Boston Marathon winner) are scheduled to appear.
