FGR - 10/7/2011 - Who's Racing This Weekend

The weekend is finally here and tonight we eat pasta. I can't wait. If you haven't read the last post then you maybe wondering why I'm so excited to be eating pasta. Well aside from it being one of my most favorite things next to peanut butter, funnel cake, need I go on? It's the pre-race meal. You see, tomorrow I'm running in the Coalfield 5K tomorrow, so tonight is fueling night and pasta is what the doctor ordered. Is anyone else participating in any races or events this weekend? If so what are your pre-race rituals/meals/activities? With all this talk of races and stuff, I think it's time to get down to the real business of the post and start highlighting the giveaways going on in the realm this week.

Okay, well to be quite honest, I haven't seen a whole lot of giveaways going on this week. There are a few going on at Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine online. You can head over and get entered for those. They always have some pretty cool prize packs including trips, etc.

PAHikes.com for the month of October is giving away Lexan Coffee Press by GSI Outdoors. This is a pretty sweet French Press for the coffee aficionado while camping. You have all month to get entered into this one so don't delay.

Other than that, here's a highlight of the other giveaways that are still open for entry that we covered from last week. OutdoorInformer.com still has its Hi-Tec Jackets and Zuke's Dog Treats prize pack for this month. You can enter once a day. Also, Hiking Boots News still has its Timberland Hiking Boots giveaway going on until Oct 10th. So head over to that giveaway post and comment to get entered.

That's all we've got this week. Honestly we've been so busy that it's been a bit hard to keep our eyes peeled for these giveaways. So if you see one or have one going on yourself that you'd like to see here on the FGR, drop us a line at appalachiaandbeyond (at) gmail (dot) com.

Happy Trails,
