Plan a RACECATION with Alaska Airlines and Brooks Running (manufacturer of fabulous running apparel and shoes)! Now this is the kind of announcement I like!
Specifically, Alaska Airlines is encouraging people to go on a RACECATION, defined as: a trip or vacation in which the destination is chosen based on running a race.
They’ve partnered with Brooks Running, and Destination Races for various WINE races (not, you’re really talking, Alaska Airlines!), and are offering 10 percent discount on airfare to these races.

Missydarlin and I did this in 2007 – one race in each time zone. It is was so much fun.
In 2011, I trained for the Mt. Desert Island Marathon – if you haven’t done it – go. It was amazing.
