Coolest Giveaway E-V-E-R

This is officially my first giveaway ever on I RUN LIKE A GIRL – and I’m so excited. When Andrew at Dick’s Sporting Goods emailed me to see if I wanted to give my readers a $100 gift card (to Dick’s), I thought someone was playing a mean joke on me.

But fear not, Andrew is real – and so is this giveaway.

So, without further ado, pretty much the coolest giveaway e-v-e-r is: a $100 gift card to Dick’s Sport Goods!! I won’t waste any time - here are the rules to qualify for a $100 Gift Card to
Dick's Sporting Goods:

1) Follow @dickssportcmo on Twitter
2) Comment on this post with an answer to the question "What would you buy at Dick's with $100 and why?"

Extra points:
1) Become a I RUN LIKE A GIRL follower (if you aren’t already)
2) Post this “Coolest Giveaway E-V-E-R” on your blog and link back


The contest will run for one week - so you have until Friday, August 21 to pick out/day-dream about the perfect Dick's item.

Since (unfortunately) I can’t win my own give away – I’ve been tweeting my @$$ off @dickssportcmo for a $100 gift card. I’ve been dying for a new Speedo swimsuit - and secretly day-dreaming about the Quantum Splice Tankini and Midster for months. I literally stalked a girl at the pool because I just had to know where she got her awesome suit (Dick’s!!). I love it because it’s a two-piece without being too revealing – and it’s hot pink/black! (Plus a one-piece is so hard to take off - and they're over-rated!).

Enjoy this awesome giveaway – and have fun shopping the Dick’s website for ideas. Pick something good - it's 100 free dollars!!

  13. Great giveaway! Like one of your other readers I am not a twitter user and prefer not to get involved in YET another social networking site, especially twitter. I am just not that important that people need minute by minute updates! He he! :) Either way I am a follower of your blog and will post a link on my blog as well.

    If I won this I would definitely get some new tri gear! It is hard to find! And some new running shoes and some running tights for winter! I am pretty sure that $100 would be a nice little dent in all of that!

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  24. I am a new runner and I could really use some winter running gear! But, my jogging stroller doesn't have a rotating front wheel which can be really annoying. So, I have been looking at the Bebe love brand stroller on the Dick's site for a while. I could also put the gift card toward that!
