And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.
Today is Day 10 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.
For today, DAY TEN, ten winners will be selected, each winning a 5x7 Marathoner (or Half Marathoner) map from Run Ink (*custom maps not included).
How do you commemorate your races? Sure, you could wear your medals around, but they get heavy and clank-y after a while. You could get a tattoo to remember them, but for some of us we would run out of empty skin after a few years. What about buying ALL the race day photos? Well, if you've looked at the prices of those lately, I'm sure that is less of an reality (especially when you look like a drowned rat or someone who just escaped from the loony bin in all the shots, or is that just me?!), All of these are 'great' ideas, but Run Ink has an EVEN BETTER option! MARATHONER MAPS! They are personalized maps for runners as a way to celebrate a runner's tenacity with beautiful design. The Marathoner Maps includes the runner's name, time and bib number as well as details about the race and the race course.

I have been lucky enough to snag two of these maps for different marathons I've run thus far (Big Sur and Los Angeles). They are AWESOME tokens to honor and acknowledge the hard work I put in (not only on race day but the entire training that lead up to that moment of crossing the coveted finish line). I can't wait to add Chicago {in 2017} and Boston {in 2018} to my collection! And, now that I think of it, I should probably commission Jennifer to create a custom map for my St. George Marathon to celebrate that elusive BQ time (#DearSanta)!
Not only does Run Ink offer Marathoner (and Half Marathoner) Maps, but they also have a USA Race Chart (for all of you crazy cats running races in all 50 states), Posters (motivational quotes or generic race courses), Mugs, T-shirts and Gift Cards. There is truly something for any runner looking to commemorate that special race!

Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget listed below on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.
Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 16th at 11:59pm PST and the TEN winners will be chosen on December 17th.
And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).
With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!
PS Just in case you aren't one of the TEN lucky winners, you can still use coupon code "MCDOT15" for 15% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! So go get your shop on before 12/17 and save a few dollars!
