My Next KW Race: Re-Fridgee-Eighter!

It’s a new year and I’m that glad Run Waterloo has a full calendar for 2023!

If I had to rate my running over the past few years, it’s been … I have a lot of excuses. But I’m excited to get back on track this year and I’ve circled a bunch of races on the calendar. And while I haven’t launched a lot of free race entry contests over the past few years, we’re back on track for a great year of giveaways to keep you motivated too.

2022 Waterloo Classic Sneak Peek

First up is the Re-Fridgee-Eighter on February 12. I’m giving away two entries through my My Next KW Race contest. It’s really simple, here are the rules:

  1. Answer the question below in these blog comments, on Facebook, or on Instagram for one entry (reply to @RunWaterloo or @MyNextKwHome, or tag both in comment/post).
  2. Respond to any other entry for an additional entry, maximum of 2 total entries per person.
  3. Enter the contest by January 17 at 6pm; two winners will be announced January 17 at 8pm. Two separate individuals will be chosen for the two free entries, which include race fee and t-shirt.
  4. If you haven’t registered yet, winner will receive a code for a free entry; if you have registered, your entry will be refunded (less processing fee), credited to a future race, or available for you to use for a friend.

The question for this month is:

How do you stay motivated to run in the winter?

I’d love to start a conversation about the tools and tricks people use, what is currently working (and not working!), and encouragement for people who are looking for motivation to get 2023 off to an active start!
