“Run Like a Diva” 5k race recap part 1 in Northern VA #RunLikeaDiva

For those of you who saw my upcoming “Run Like a Diva” Ambassador announcement back in August here knew I would be running this race towards the end of September.

I had so many pictures to share that I decided to break it up into two different blog posts.

I traveled up to Northern VA on Friday Sept 23rd to participate in the “Run Like a Diva” 5k race and race packet pickup. Race packet pick up was only available on Friday afternoon/evening for the 5k race Friday night and for the half marathon race Saturday morning.

I got there early-around 4pm so I could park at the Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg instead of across the street.

There was alot of parking but it filled up fast. When you went into the Resort, there were several Diva women to greet me and to show me where to go for packet pick up (which was downstairs).

The lines were very organized and went fast! I posted a quick Facebook live video when I was at the expo. After getting my race bib, bag etc. I walked around to see all the different exhibitors. I found some great stuff while I was there!

They also had a table of signs and markers for spectators to make messages which was an awesome little “extra” I hadn’t seen offered before. My 6 year old and mom came with me to this event so they made me some signs. 🙂

Afterwards I went back upstairs to get changed for my race and take some pictures. Do you like my TuTu that came with my race packet?

The Resort parking area also had a playground area and lots of grass so before my race I went outside with my son to play and have a snack. The weather was PERFECT so it was so much fun!


Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon of my “Run Like a Diva” 5k race!
