So I have just made it home from the west coast, still haven’t managed to finish a full race report for the Vancouver Half and here I am planning my next running adventure.  Thanks to Karla over at RunKarlaRun, I have won a free entry to a midnight run in Philidelphia on July 20th!

The big event in the in24 Philadelphia race is actually a 24 hour urban ultramarathon.  There is also the Midnight Madness Run, the Finale 5k and a Relay Challenge, all of which take place during the ultra so there are runners out there keeping the distance runners company.  The midnight run looks like a blast; runners are asked to wear headlights, glow sticks and glow paint to help light up the night.  The course is an 8.4 mile (13.5k) loop in Fairmount Park, traveling around the Schuylkill River.  I have never been to Philly and I have never done a night run, so this should be a great experience, one I am very much looking forward to.  Now I just have to figure out how to get there, where to stay…etc!
