I love VR!

Vacation Race has been my best excuse to visit National Parks in the United States! After completed many road trips for Zion Ultra, Antelope Canyon Ultra, Glacier, Yellowstone, Saguaro and Rocky Mountain National Parks, I have recruited 4 other “run away girls” for our 1st “fly away” race in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!
Townsend is a nice and quieter town than Gatlinburg. I volunteered at the expo clean up and met many amazing VR staffs. 3 of my girlfriends finished their 1st 5K race on Friday evening and all 4 want to earn another VR 5K medal! I did my half marathon on Sat morning. Race started at the Heritage Highschool and I enjoyed the first 9-miles of scenery along the little river. Very soon it started drizzling and made me singing “rain and tears (or sweats)” in my head. The rain became harder when I approach the Townsend area and instead of alphas road, it also turns to concrete pavement. Although this is an overall “Uphill” route, I did my personal best in all the VR half marathon races. 🙂
I wished I signed up the Black Bear double! The medal is so cute.
The Great Smoky Mountains NP is our retreat after this fun race! We hiked 10+ trails and saw many rivers and waterfalls in the most visited National Park in the US!
