We are so happy to announce our partnership with Voskos Greek Yogurt! I remember having a cup of Voskos for the first time several years ago at a run here in Burbank. I had never had Greek Yogurt before, but I was hooked.

Voskos Greek Yogurt, founded in 2005, is the very first manufacturer and distributor of Greek Yogurt in the US and continues to be the leader and first company to offer Non-Fat, Low-Fat and Original in Plain and Flavored Greek Yogurt. Voskos takes a leadership position in educating consumers the nutritional benefits of Greek Yogurt and advocates eating Greek Yogurt daily as part of a healthy, balanced diet.

Adding greek yogurt to your daily diet is a great idea for overall health and even weight loss...not to mention the fantastic amount of protein it has for a post Rose Run trot! Read more here...

If you are interested in sponsoring or volunteering for this event, please contact Race Director, Jessica Cribbs at jessica@theroserun.com!

I cannot begin to explain how awesome it is to sit at the finish line and see all of you runners and walkers coming in! Although some of you might be there to gain a personal record, others are there to try a 5k for the first time and I love all of it.

Thank you so much for being a part of this run, for supporting our causes and for braving the heat!

If you haven't already, Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! That's the best way to keep in the know for all things Rose Run.

Thank you!!!

So proud of Petersburg...I get emotional every time I watch something like this. It's easy to forget just how many people come to this small town to do this! Thank you so very much. I hope to see you all again on July 20th! Register today!

Thank you again to Shaler Industrial Supply for sponsoring the Kids' 1k Fun Run this year!


We believe that starting kids with an early interest in these kinds of events is very important, and we thank you for your support in that effort!

I get asked all year long whether or not the pistachios will be in the goody bags. And the answer is yes!
Although we're used to seeing the Everybody's Nuts' logo...they are now Wonderful Pistachios all in one.
So, you can look forward to the lovely samples of nuts in your race bags this year!

And just to let you in on a little secret...they have a really fun ad campaign this year, including the Super Bowl ad below...Enjoy Psy!

Moms In Motion is a fitness group for women that is nationwide...but I found Lucie Murray through the Los Angeles group in Griffith Park.

Lucie became a mentor to me, teaching me that I could actually run long distance, and didn't even know it.
Lucie and the group of women I ran with at the time, were all with me through the death of my mother. When I had the idea to do The Rose Run in Petersburg, Lucie suggested that Los Angeles do one too...and beyond that, anyone who wanted to do it!
The "Virtual Run" was born.

Thank you Lucie Murray and A Runner's Circle in Los Feliz for hosting The Rose Run Los Angeles for the 5th year in a row!

The Los Angeles Rose Run helps to raise nearly $1000 every year. The funds raised in any virtual run done anywhere...go directly to the National Charity.

To remind you, you don't have to be in Petersburg, or even Los Angeles for that matter, to participate in The Rose Run. You can sign up anywhere virtually. Grab a group of friends...run/walk solo and go from your front door.

We've had runners in California, Montana, Arizona, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, Alabama and even Okinawa, Japan!

Sign up today......visit the Virtual Page HERE......

If you're like me...you have a lot of race shirts lying around. I've seen quilts made out of them, but this weekend, we made a reusable bag out of last year's Rose Run shirt!

Here's one video on how to get it done.....

My daughter, last year in 1st grade, made them with the popular colored Duct Tape vs using a sewing machine...just a thought.

Have fun!
