Leave a comment listing all the things you did. No need to list in separate comments. Each thing you do will earn you one entry. Using random.org, one winner will be selected on Tuesday, April 3 (one week from today).
Unfortunately, if you are already registered for this race, you cannot win and be reimbursed. (I asked, as I was already registered, and part of this offer was a free entry for the blogger + a reader.) In the interest of full disclosure, I am not being compensated monetarily for doing this giveaway, but I was promised access to the VIP tent on race day, whatever that includes.
