Hello Medocers, we could use your help by running and sharing this post. Ripe for Revival is putting on a NEW TRAIL RACE in Rocky Mount on the Battle Park mountain bike trails. We’d love to see you join us at the event. Use the code MEDOC to save on the entry fee.

Ripe for Revival believes in reviving communities through food. They combat food insecurity by providing accessible, nutritious food through Mobile Markets, food distributions, and other community-driven initiatives. Their “pay what you can” approach puts healthy food on the tables of families in need. In addition they partner with other nonprofits in the community to distribute meal boxes so families can share a meal around the holidays like Easter and Thanksgiving.

Running this race helps them continue their mission to provide healthy food to people in your communities.

SEAT COVER: We were asked and realized not everyone is familiar with the seat cover given to finishers. This is designed to cover your car seat after a sweaty and/or dirty run so you can keep your seats clean.

The pocketed side fits over your head rest to hold it in place (and so your friend in the back seat knows you finished the Medoc Trail Races". We suggest giving a little slack before sitting so it does not pull too tight and pull on the stitching.

Now go get sweaty on a run and test it out!

Our energy is empty, but our hearts are full. What an amazing day! We know we are biased, but Medoc just feels different than other races. We truly feel like we have a big weird family. And we love it. We may only see some of you once a year, but this week feels like we’re just continuing on old conversation.

If you’re new, welcome! We hope you had fun, and we hope you come back. Bring a friend because there is always room in the family for more.
