Actually taken on a beach on Cape Cod that you will run by!

I mean really....come down, up, over, whatever to Cape Cod and you can see ME!!! I won't be running this year since I will be just 2 weeks away from delivery and I'm clearly not as badass as the lady that ran Chicago and then gave birth. However I will be there to cheer you all on, meet up, give hugs, high fives, whatever!!! Stay tuned for meet-ups and more!!!

What do you say? Grab a friend, sister, mother, girl running down the street and head to Zooma Cape Cod!!!
