🚨 UMMMM… WHO GAVE THE LOPERS RACE BIBS?! 🚨

Because apparently they’re letting us loose at the MISSION INN THIS SUNDAY and honestly… that feels irresponsible. 😂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💨

Some of us are chasing PRs. 🔥
Some of us are running for fun. ✨
Some of us are walking and enjoying every single mile. 🩷
Some of us said “I’m taking it easy” and will absolutely NOT be taking it easy. 👀😂
And some of us are simply here for the medal, snacks, post-race food 🤭🙈

Either way…

THE LOPERS ARE COMING. 😤

🏃‍♀️ 5K?!
🏃‍♂️ 10K?!
😵‍💫 HALF MARATHON?!
📣 SPECTATING & YELLING AT YOUR FRIENDS?!

WHO’S GOING TO BE THERE?! 👀👇

Drop your distance below so we know exactly how much Loper chaos Mission Inn should prepare for. 😂🔥

See you Sunday, Lopers!

RUN. WALK. SHUFFLE. SURVIVE. TAKE PICTURES. GET THE MEDAL. 🏅

We got a little taste of chilly fall weather this week, and it had us feeling all cozy and excited for the winter season ahead! Okay… maybe it only got some of us excited for winter. 😂🍂❄️

Running in the rain was definitely something else, teehee, but we’ll take a little drizzle over running or walking in 100-degree weather any day! 🌧️☀️

With a few of our Lopers running and walking Mission Inn this weekend, let’s get those legs moving, loosen up, and knock out some homework miles together! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🍁

Join us tomorrow at 6:30 PM at Smudgepot Brewing Company, then stick around to hang out and enjoy some delicious food from our friends Las Tarascas! 🌮

We’ll see you there! 💕
