ZOOMA Annapolis Runners to Celebrate at Over-the-Top Post-Race Party
Post-race Celebration to Include Music, Gifts, Wine, and More
By Brae Blackley May 1, 2008 Annapolis, MD For the Washington Running Report
ZOOMA Annapolis announced the details of its After Party-Expo
on June 1 at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in
Annapolis. The party is uniquely tailored for ZOOMA's runners
with wine and champagne, spa treatments, a unique silver
necklace for all race finishers, live music, and shopping.
Barefoot Wines will provide free wine and champagne for all
After Party attendees, and participants will enjoy live music
from David Andrew Smith and the Doug Segree Band and lunch from
Bo Brooks Catering. Spa treatments will be sponsored by Varuna
Salon Spa, a new Aveda salon and spa in Annapolis. ZOOMA also revealed the much-anticipated post-race gift for
race finishers, sponsored by ZOOMA Women's Race Series and
Saturn. Unlike many events that offer medals for race
finishers, ZOOMA Annapolis runners will receive a specially-
designed silver necklace to commemorate their participation in
ZOOMA's inaugural event. Runners will be presented with the
jewelry gift after crossing the finish line in Jonas Green
Park. "A fantastic post-race party and a fabulous finishers' gift is
a big part of what we are trying to accomplish with ZOOMA
Annapolis," said Brae Blackley, executive director of ZOOMA
Women's Race Series. "Training for and completing a half
marathon or 10K is something to be proud of, and we want to
give our runners the opportunity to reward themselves and
celebrate that great achievement with family and friends." The post-race party will be held in the '53 Pavilion in the end
zone of the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis.
Runners and spectators at the post-race party will have the
opportunity to browse booths with innovative and creative
products that are particularly relevant for active women. New
Balance and Fleet Feet Annapolis will team up to educate
runners on proper shoes and apparel and will be selling running
gear. Corazonas, a California-based company, will give away
free samples of their heart-healthy tortilla chips. Gracie's
Gear and Training will sell sports bras with the patented POWER
POUCH, allowing women to comfortably carry an MP3 player, cell
phone, identification, or gels during workouts. ZICO will offer
samples of its naturally healthy coconut water, great for
rehydration and replenishment after workouts. And Al Lyman,
founder of the Runner-CORE strength training system, will speak
and offer free instructional demos. The ZOOMA After Party-Expo is free and open to the public.
Hours are from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on Sunday, June 1. About ZOOMA Women's Race Series: ZOOMA Women's Race Series is a new concept in running races
