This weekend I am heading to Utah to run the Thelma and Louise Half Marathon!

Thelma and Louise Quote 2


I am pretty excited about this race because 1) I love road trips, 2) Thelma and Louise is a pretty great movie, 3) It’s a race. I mean, a race that is dedicated to the badassery of women while they take a road trip through the desert? That’s exactly my kind of thing.

Besides it’s gorgeous location starting in Gold Bar Campground, the race is geared towards just getting a little silly with one of your best friends.

The other fun part? The race directors have made it a goal to get Susan Sarandon to tweet a selfie using the hashtag #thelmaandlouisehalf. How amazing would that be? Challenge accepted.

If you want to come run with me (there are still spots!), the race directors let you choose to put either Thelma or Louise on your race bib depending on which character you identify with most. Naturally, I picked Louise. Even before the Buzzfeed quiz told me I was her.

Thelma or Louise?

RQ: Are you Thelma or Louise?

Disclaimer: I receive a free race entry as part of my partnership with Moab Half Marathon. All opinions are absolutely my own. I truly think Thelma and Louise were a blast.
