READY TO RUN 🏃🏽♀️ INTO THE NEW YEAR!
01/02/23
Hello, 2023!
We can't believe it's here, but we hope you are ready to welcome the new year with open arms (and maybe those new running shoes
you got for Christmas). You'll want to read this newsletter all the way through to get the details on upcoming price jumps and
Early Bird registration openings. But first, we have some celebrating to do!
To kick off the new year, we are celebrating the incredible achievements of Wander Project (the official nonprofit partner of
Vacation Races) and our Charity Bibs athletes in 2022. With every race they ran, they raised funds for nonprofit partners around
the country. We are so thankful for those of you that have chosen to support Wander Project and run with a Charity Bib. If you
would like to learn more about Charity Bibs, check out Wander Project here! To see the full list of organizations that received
funds from Wander Project in their second giving cycle, click here.
We also wanted to give a very special shout-out to our top fundraisers of 2022. These athletes registered as charity bibs and
raised the most funds for their respective events. Give them some kudos! 🥳 The top fundraiser for each of these events receives
an entry to a 2023 Vacation Races event of the same distance.

GNARLY NUTRITION
Start the new year STRONG 💪🏽 with Gnarly!
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body and provides the scaffolding that builds structure and strength in
joints. Collagen production declines with age and athletes are particularly vulnerable to joint-related injuries.
Taking collagen peptides in the 30 to 60 minutes prior to training kickstarts collagen synthesis and may make tendons, ligaments,
and joints healthier, stronger, and more resilient. If you're an early bird, try Gnarly Nutrition collagen in your coffee or
favorite beverage to kick-start your day!
