ELF and all related characters and elements copyright and TM New Line Productions, Inc. (s20) We all need extra holiday cheer this year, and I'm happy to report I found it with the Elf Virtual Run hosted by Ram Races. I appreciate when race management communicates on a regular basis, and Ram Racing certainly did. I received regular emails throughout the event. Along the way runners could enter a contest to win energy gels, and download a training plan. There's a race-specific Elf Virtual Run Instagram account that provides info and updates. Adding Holiday Cheer to My #RunWithBuddy RaceAs soon as I registered I started looking for ways to channel Buddy the Elf. I wanted to embrace and spread holiday cheer. Here's what happened:

(Photo credit: This Old Runner) Why I Loved My Elf Virtual RunIf I seriously counted my miles, I geared-up and ran my Elf race 2 or 3 times. I liked running around the city wearing holiday gear and hiding painted rocks. It was the least I could do to spread Christmas cheer. For me, having a themed race was a good distraction. We didn't travel or see extended family this year. Covid-19 and the economy provided extra worries. It was fun to focus on a holiday race. The virtual aspect was the best part — I could share the race with friends and family who live far away. I didn't worry about safety precautions beyond my own mask and route. I could run when and where I wanted. Plus, it felt good to train for and run extra miles during a season filled with extra carb-loading.
Elf Virtual Run Race SWAG is AWESOMEMy red full-zip hoodie, race bib, and green ELF beanie arrived in early December. Race management advised us via email that the medals would follow later. There was a delay in shipping. My medal arrived on December 28. If you need this great swag in your life, it's not too late to get it. You can register and run The Elf Virtual Run until January 31, 2021. Sign up now, and you can enjoy the Elf gear for years to come! I know I will. Check Out How Other BibRave Pros Personalized Their Elf Virtual RunOne of the best parts of a virtual race is that you can make it exactly what you want. I added a Scavenger Hunt because I like silly goals and distractions. Check out how some of my fellow BibRave Pros ran their virtual Elf Run for more ideas. #ElfRunBR #BuddyTheElf #KeepMoving #HolidayRun #BrighterDaysAhead #RunFlorida #WeRunSocial #RunInTheSun #OptOutside #FLRunner #ThisOldRunner #HoorayRunning #RunEveryStreet #RunYourTown #EverySinglePerson #Plogging #TeamEarth #AlleyPlogging @BibRave #Virtual #HolidayRace #BibChat #BibRavePro @RamRacing #ElfVirtualRun #RunWithBuddy @RamRacing

Free Download: Elf Scavenger Hunt ListEveryone's invited to join in the scavenger hunt. Simply search for the items on the list while running your 5K or 10K. It's a fun way to add extra competition if you're running virtually with friends. It helps the miles go fast for me. You can take a screen shot of the image below, or download the jpg in 8.5 x 11" or Instagram stories size. I'll post on Instagram and Twitter, too so you can share from there.  Here's my Elf Virtual Run Scavenger Hunt. Feel free to share it and join in. (Image Credit: This Old Runner) 
Post your scavenger hunt results on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #ElfVirtualRun and #RunWithBuddy so we can cheer for each other. I can't wait to see what people find on the run!

Registration is still open. You can run your race and upload your results anywhere and anytime between now and January 31, 2021. Spreadin' Holiday Cheer in My Elf Virtual Run Gear Holiday rocks, Caramel Candy flavored Gatorade Endurance energy gel, Knockaround Ugly Sweater Sunnies, and an awesome ELF mask! I'm ready! (Photo Credit: This Old Runner) Maybe it's the pandemic. Maybe it's 'cause Elf is my favorite holiday movie... either way, I'm having so much fun prepping for my Elf Run. My daughter made me an Elf Movie mask when she heard I was running. I LOVE IT! I scored a pair of ugly sweater sunnies from Knockaround — to spread Christmas cheer, of course! PLUS, I received a wonderful surprise from Gatorade Endurance. They sent me their new energy gel flavors (Watermelon, Cherry Lime, and Caramel Candy). What could possibly match an Elf Race better than a caramel candy gel?!?! Check Back Here After The Race

ELF and all related characters and elements copyright and TM New Line Productions, Inc. (s20) I'm getting ready to run the Elf Virtual Run this December. It's a spirited holiday run that celebrates all things ELF the movie. That got me to thinking...would I take race fueling advice from #BuddyTheElf? Hmmm. He know's his carbs, and he does move really fast. While I'm not convinced that Buddy's Breakfast Spaghetti would sustain me for a 10K, it is fun to consider. (Recipe below.)  Would you eat Buddy's favorite breakfast before running a 10K race? Disclaimer: I received registration for the Elf Virtual Run as part of being a BibRave Pro.
