Ms. O'Kelly from the DNR Michigan was so kind to provide a special discount code for our community. If you'd like to participate in the race shoot me a message at paintings@twoinchbrush.com and I'll send you the coupon code.

I think it would be nice if we could get a little group of runners going for this event! 🙂

Oh I did this last year! You get a cute little shirt, a medal that looks like a painters pallet and your get to save some happy little trees! I’m so happy they are doing this again. I will be sending you a message shortly Felix!

Felix

Lilikins Great to hear! How was the race and the whole procedure? Are you just running the 5k or is there some kind of time tracking?

Lilikins

So the event was disrupted by the lock down. I think the original date was for late March /early April. By that time basically everything in Michigan was locked down except for essential businesses. I believe the original plan was to have multiple race sites at parks all over Michigan but due to Covid restrictions it became more of an honor system “race”. Basically they told us to go out and walk/run in a safe socially distanced manner anytime during that week. So it wasn’t a true race but we got a cool shirt, medal, and the donations went to the parks.

Felix

Lilikins I like that! Keeps a non competitive feeling for the whole event, very relaxed and easy going

Does anyone from the EU want to split the shipping cost? It's an additional $24 per order, I would then ship it forwards from Austria

Lilikins I was sooo bummed, I was supposed to host a class at the michigan parks but covid shut it down. Im a Certified instructor and would have loved to have done it. I dont thin ill be able to just this year also, but will participate and get my cool medal!

I was very excited to see that they had opened this up to international folks but then saw that postage costs were almost as high as the cost to enter. that made me sad again lol it's a great idea though and the medal and t-shirt are brilliant.

Lilikins

FatGandalf omg you win for best username 🤣

Felix

FatGandalf Where are you from? If it's in the EU we can split the shipping

FatGandalf

Felix unfortunately I'm outside the UK now that my foolish countrymen decided that brexit was a good idea. feels like getting almost anything from the continent now is such hard work and costly!

I am curious who else might have signed up for this, and if they have gotten any tracking information or anything on the bib and metal? I know it's like a month out, but I have started walking (with a very small amount of jog added in) each night, so I am looking forward to getting my BR swag.

Felix

doggymommee8301 I've only got the mail that they are starting shipping.
No tracking yet but also no additional fees for the shipment to Europe
