BMW Dallas Marathon
DALLAS (May 18, 2016) - In anticipation of the 2016 BMW Dallas Marathon,
Half Marathon and Behringer Relay, organizers for the BMW Dallas Marathon
have teamed up with North Texas celebrities and members of the running
community for the BMW Dallas Marathon #COURSESELFIES Contest.
From May 12 through May 18, the BMW Dallas Marathon and one celebrity per
day published a photo clue from a location near or along the marathon race
course on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtags #RUNBMWDALLAS
and #COURSESELFIES. Fans and followers of the race have until 11:59 p.m. on
Thursday, May 19 to recreate one or more of the visual scenes and post
their own Course Selfie for a chance to win a one-of-a-kind VIP upgrade for
BMW Dallas Marathon race weekend this December.
What’s at stake?
One Grand Prize winner will be selected at random to receive a 2016 BMW
Dallas Marathon race weekend VIP upgrade package. Upgrades will include
entry for winner and one guest to the BMW Dallas Marathon VIP Lounge on
Sunday, December 11, 2016. The VIP Lounge features premium location along
the BMW Dallas Marathon start/finish line, VIP bag drop and complimentary
food, drinks and massages. The Grand Prize package also includes personal
delivery of participant race packet to Grand Prize Winner, personal
concierge transportation to the BMW Dallas Marathon start/finish line on
Sunday, December 11, 2016, and preferred parking downtown throughout BMW
Dallas Marathon race weekend (December 9-11, 2016).
How to enter?
Follow the BMW Dallas Marathon on Facebook, on Twitter @DallasMarathon and
on Instagram @BMWDallasMarathon.
Join the conversation by finding the locations revealed and posting your
own Course Selfie with a similar background visible. Post your BMW Dallas
Marathon Course Selfies to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and tag the post
with #RUNBMWDALLAS and #COURSESELFIES to be officially entered.
One entry is accepted per person per Course Selfie clue solved – you can
enter up to seven times. Each day’s Course Selfie location is the
opportunity to submit a new entry into the Grand Prize drawing. Entries do
not need to be submitted on the same day a Course Selfie location was
released. For example, if you find the wait until May 19 to find and post
selfies from all seven revealed locations, you’ll still receive seven
entries into the random Grand Prize drawing.
One Grand Prize winner will be announced by the BMW Dallas Marathon on
Monday, May 23.
