IFWT_Serena race 1

Serena Williams recently said her ass is too big to run the 26-mile NYC Marathon but she was willing to drag it during the Ultimate Run South Beach race and she looked great doing it.

The Ultimate Run South Beach race, which includes either a five kilometer or quarter marathon option, is a fun-run benefiting the Serena Williams Fund, which supports victims of violent crime.

The 33-year-old made light work of the course and was filmed on a Go pro camera during the race.

‘Every year, I do a run for Thanksgiving, the 5K or 10K, to kick-start my training for the year, and last year after running the 5K, I thought, ‘Wow, I really should do my charity based on running because it’s a really fun way to promote a healthy lifestyle,’ she told the Miami Herald.

‘People love it. You can run, walk, bring your family, it’s early in the morning.

‘It definitely helps your endurance on the court,’ she said. ‘You feel you can run so many miles, you can last three hours, four hours if you need to.’

She added: ‘I like running the shorter distances, like 5K. You don’t kill your body, but you can still feel part of the race atmosphere.’
