After weeks of my flatmates raving about the Nike We Own the Night 10k run, I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about. As much as I love my sport and fitness (and believe me I train hard), longer runs have never really appealed to me. In all honesty, I'm much more of a sprint kind of girl. Well, that's what I thought...
So with all the excitement flying around the house I decided that it was time for me to sign up. How could I possibly go along to cheer the girls on and not actually take part? I simply couldn't! And besides, I love the feeling after a good workout and this would definitely be one.
The run, in association with Elle UK, takes place in London's Victoria Park on May 10th (and in four other locations across May and June including Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and Milan). Starting at 8pm, the run- as the title suggests- takes place at night. With glowing (free) t-shirts to run in we will literally be lighting up and owning the night! What's more you finish the run to a giant, well, rave... that's if you've got any energy left! Have a little look here.
Still not convinced? I think that the free goody bag will change your mind. Everybody who enters the race will be given a Nike t-shirt along with other surprise gifts and to everyone who takes part on the day, you'll be given an exclusive Nike WOTN necklace designed by iconic London jewellery designer Alex Monroe in a Liberty print box. (I know that some of you girls will probably be running just to nab the necklace- don't worry, I won't tell)!
Not already signed up? If love a good long run then this is definitely for you! And, if you don't... this is also for you!! This isn't a competition, it's a chance for us girls to get together and have some fun whilst improving our fitness at the same time! You can run at whatever pace you like and I know that running with my girls means that there will be a few (hundred) giggles on the way round.

See you there! xx
