Trenton Half Marathon Expo and My Race Ragz Review and Giveaway!

This year I will be returning to Trenton to run the Half Marathon! I am so excited, because last year was the inaugural race, and I look forward to seeing the improvements that they made!  Last year I ran the 10K and instantly regretted not signing up for the Half!

This year, I have been an Ambassador for the race, so you may have read a post or three or maybe you saw one of the 500 pictures I posted on Twitter and Instagram! I love this race!
It is starts and ends at the Trenton Thunder baseball field, and you finish on home plate. For real. I LOVE that! You also get to run over the Trenton Makes bridge and through the streets of Trenton, past the State Buildings. I seriously love old buildings!
Anyway, today I made the rainy drive to Trenton, which is just under an hour away, for the Expo. Last year it was very small, but this year looked to be a little larger, so I was looking forward to it. I wasn't really loving the rain, but it is a quick, easy ride, with very few turns, and it went by easily enough!
I parked in the hotel parking garage, ran down the 7 flights of stairs to the lobby, and followed the signs to the Expo.

 When I got there, a Church group was getting their marching orders, and within minutes they were cheering and singing to every person who walked in! They were awesome! I hope they are at the race on Saturday, they would be highly motivating! I picked up my bib and jacket, and checked out the tables that were there. It was a small expo, mostly local, with a few merch tables as well. I stopped at the United Way table, because I win a tee from the Virtual Goodie Bag. They also had a dry erase "bib" that you could personalize! SO fun!

After that, I was pretty much done! It took less than 30 minutes, and on the way out the Church group cheered me out the door. They were lined up on both sides, and I danced my way out. It was awesome. I want them to go with me everywhere! I climbed the seven flights of stairs, and headed back home.
I took this pic of the Stadium on my way out, when I was stopped at a light. This is where we start and finish!

So! I wore my My Race Ragz shirt to the expo, and got a lot of compliments on it! One of my Sweat Pink Sisters gave us the opportunity to order one for FREE in exchange for my review!

I love the idea behind My Race Ragz! When you go to the site you can design a shirt of your own (I made one once with my logo and a quote) or you can pick a design that someone else has already done.
I couldn't think of anything that I really wanted on a shirt, so I started trolling through the shirts designed around a marathon. They had a lot of choices, but I settled on….

It looks huge in this picture, but it is a women's medium. It is a short sleeved, V neck tech shirt and it fits perfectly! I will use it while I train for next Fall's Atlantic City Marathon, and I am so excited! Like I said, I wore it to the expo today and it is very comfy! It is also very flattering, I look goooood in this shirt! There are lots of colors, styles, and ideas to choose from, and it is so easy to do!
They have a Facebook page and Twitter so you can check out other people's race shirts, too!

I look awesome in my shirt, and you can look good in a shirt, too! Comment below, telling me what you would get on your shirt, and I will use Random.org to pick a winner! SO easy! I will choose the winner next Friday, November 15th!

What would you get on your race shirt?
