Last year was my first year participating in Fort2Base as a race ambassador (recap here). This year, I am back as a race ambassador and am excited to take part in this great race again!
August 24, 2014 marks the 4th annual Fort2Base race. It’s a rare opportunity for civilians to get a peek at Illinois’ military command and training centers and beautiful vistas of the North Shore.
Participants have a choice of two race distances: 10 nautical miles (11.5 miles), which begins at historic Fort Sheridan and end at Naval Station Great Lakes via the spectacular Green Bay Trail. I did this race last year and really enjoyed it! The second course is 3 nautical miles (3.45 miles) within the private expanses of Naval Station Great Lakes.
So sign up for Fort2Base here and use Fort2Base discount code 2014F2BPETERSEN10 for 10% off either race distance!
And to kick off your training, join me and a few other race ambassadors for a fun run at one of Lake County’s beautiful trails!
When: Saturday, June 28th at 8am
Where: Hastings Lake Forest Preserve, Lake Villa
What: Fun run (we plan to do 4 miles, 2 mile loop twice through…there is also a 1 mile extension if you want to add some additional miles)
Why: To meet other runners and learn more about Fort2Base! Plus, we will have some free swag and plan to giveaway a free race entry!
Do you plan to do Fort2Base this year?
Thank you for the discount code! I’m all signed up for the 10NM course!
You are SO welcome! Hope to see you there!
