Love love LOVE this race! I participated for the first time in 2013 and I've done every race since (now in two other towns). I did the 10k for BDR in 2013 and it was a fantastic course with most of it along the water. In 2014 I did the 1/2 marathon and it was even better! I even had a PR :)

The best damn things about the Best Damn Race:
- The Medals!
- The shirts (they have women's sizes)
- The expo
- The food, beer, and massages. So much food!
- The course - I love running along the water in Safety Harbor
- The staff - this race is run by runners and that makes all the difference
- The host hotel - the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa is amazing and great for a race weekend away

Can you tell that I love this race?! Well I do and I can't wait until the next one in 2015. Is it February yet??
