Running for Ice Cream Virtual 5k

 Running For Ice Cream 2013 Virtual 5k or 10k Fun Run!

July is National Ice Cream Month and since Cassie and I love ice cream and would love an excuse to eat it. I'm hosting a Virtual 5k and 10k around it. To register and receive your printable Race Bib send a request to austin_molly@ymail.com Registration is free :)

Running for Ice Cream is FREE to participate. Its a fun run for all. There are no awards, as fitness is its own reward. You can run or walk. Go by yourself, with friends, family or pets and work towards being more active and  healthy. Afterwards don't forget to treat yourself to an Ice Cream to celebrate.


WHAT: A virtual race is running or walking a specified distance, timing yourself, without actually being present in a race location. A 5k equals 3.1 miles and 10k 6.2 miles

WHEN: July 19 - 22, 2013

WHERE: Pick your favorite local route or jump on the treadmill.

WHY: Fun, Fitness, Friendship... and Ice Cream!

Did you know?
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month. He also established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month.
Ice cream is nutritious. A little heavy on the sugar and calories, ice cream is otherwise good for you. Its base ingredient is milk, which is loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals.
Charles E. Minches of St. Louis, Missouri is credited with inventing the ice cream cone. On July 23, 1904 at the World's Fair in St. Louis, he filled a pastry cone with two scoops of ice cream to make the first ice cream cone. There is some controversy over this claim. Italo Marchiony of New York City filed a patent for the ice cream cone months before the fair opened. And, he was selling lemon ice in cones as early as 1896.
