Run to Win

Last week, I reviewed the DVD of Run For Your Life, which follows the life of Fred Lebow as he brought about and grew the New York City Marathon.

Screen Media Films is provided me with 5 copies of the DVD to give away, which I did throughout the course of the past week.

This last contest was a little more difficult to win than any of the previous contests, since it involved doing a little research to answer a pair of questions. First, you had to tell me who ran the first sub-4 minute mile in Maine, and then what shoe company Jeff Caron ran for in Boston.

This became a little more difficult, though, because I actually asked a different question than I meant to for question 1.

Watch the video to see the answers, as well as the selection of the last DVD winner:

In the meantime, I never heard from one of the winners after 2 days, and so I chose a new winner! I didn’t create a video for the redrawing; instead, I just took a screenshot and then added in a piece from the winning comment.

Congratulations Phil! I’ve sent you an email, so hopefully you have an opportunity some time in the next 2 days to check your email and claim your prize.

In the meantime, I happen to know you are running the New York City Marathon tomorrow morning, so good luck and good race!

I have chosen the winner for the last DVD, I am just waiting for the video to upload so that I can announce who it was. That will be announced within the next hour or so.

Yesterday, the folks that have subscribed to my running tips newsletter were given 2 opportunities to win the remaining DVDs, first by sending an email to a specific address for the contest (the easy way) and second by emailing a separate address with the answers to a couple of questions that require a little bit of research (the hard way.)

This morning, I chose a winner for the 4^th DVD:
