Pearson’s Candy makes some of our very favorite treats. Pearson’s started in the candy business in Minneapolis in 1909! They’re famous for their Salted Nut Roll, Mint Patty, and Bun Bars — treats we deserve after a great run. Don’t tell, but athletes don’t stick to health food. A treat motivates like nothing else. Reward yourself. Here’s how:
- You managed to fit in a few miles on the treadmill when the weather wouldn’t let up. How about a Bit ‘O Honey? We call it sweet victory that fits in your gym bag.
- Text some of your favorite buddies and hit the trail — together. It’s not bribery but rather “incentivizing” when you cleverly stash some Salted Nut Rolls in your car for a post-run surprise.
- Some fellow runners recommend new trails or insist on training with you when your motivation is low. Friends like that are worth a mint — a Mint Patty, right?
Running the Great Candy Run helps the Fetal Health Foundation assist families who have received a fetal syndrome diagnosis before their baby or babies are born.
