"I Dream of Jeannie" Medal for Cocoa Beach Half Marathon Finishers

If You're an Older Runner, You May Remember Watching the I Dream of Jeannie Show on TV.

The finisher's medal is a genie bottle.

The original Jeannie, Barbara Eden, with runners at the Inaugural Cocoa Beach Half Marathon.

I Dream of Jeannie was a popular show on in Prime Time when I was a kid. It ran from 1965 to 1970. Years later, it entertained another generation (including my kids) when Nickelodeon Cable Network aired it in the 90s as part of their Nick at Night lineup.

Want your own genie bottle?

If you are available for a half marathon in Cocoa Beach on October 23, 2016, you can earn your very own genie bottle medal.

There are 3 ways to earn this fun medal: Half Marathon, Half Marathon Relay, and a Virtual Half.

If you can't make it to Cocoa Beach in person, try the Virtual Run Option. You must submit photographic proof of your virtual run between October 29 to November 5, 2016.

Take it one step further, and dress up like Jeannie when you run the race!

There were 150 people dressed like Jeannie at the 2015 Inaugural Half. PLUS, Barbara Eden made a guest appearance  — see photo.

Sign up for the 2nd Annual Ron Jon Cocoa Beach Half Marathon soon, last year's event sold out!
