My First Giveaway

September 15, 2011 by Kristy 43 Comments

As of this morning, registration is still open for the Boston marathon.  Yesterday the BQ-10 group got their chance to register and tomorrow the BQ-5 group can register.  Then, as rumor has it, registration will close.  I would be completely lying if I said I wasn’t jealous and envious (and a lot of I-may-want-to-steal-your-entry) of all the speedy bloggers that are already registered.

Moving on to something upbeat and fun:  my first giveaway!  A few weeks ago Kara, Philly native and creator of ChickBands, offered to send me a ChickBand to test out.  ChickBands are running headbands backed with velvet so they won’t slip during a run.  They also soak up all the nasty sweat.  The verdict?  Me like.

PRE-RUN
 

POST-RUN

As you can see, the ChickBand did not move an inch.  It was also comfortable (i.e., did not give me a headache).  The fact that it didn’t give me a headache is impressive since I have a rather large noggin and big hair.

The ChickBand that Kara sent me sells for $8.00.  A very reasonable price considering a thick SweatyBand sells for $18.00.  Why pay more for the same headband?

Kara graciously offered to give away 3 ChickBands to lucky RTLR readers!

Here’s how to enter…

Mandatory (please leave a separate comment for each entry):
1 – follow me on Twitter
2 – tweet:  I want to win the ChickBand giveaway from @RunTheLongRoad

Extra (please leave a separate comment):
1 – like RTLR on Facebook

I will randomly pick 3 winners on Monday, September 19.  Make sure you enter a separate comment for each entry so you can maximize your chances to win!  Good luck!

*I was sent a ChickBand at no cost; however, the opinions are my own.

    I would enter this contest if I didn’t have a “flat heat”. I was told that was the type of head I had. Every time I wear those things, they fall off in 5-minutes or less. I try to rock them because I think they look cute, but what doesn’t look cute — when they fall off and i have headband hair. Yeah, I will pass for society.
