SkirtSports, creator of the original fitness skirt, announces registration for their fifth SkirtChaser 5K race of 2008 in Austin, TX, to be held on October 11, 2008. The innovative race begins with an all-women’s start, followed by a men’s “skirt chaser” start three minutes later and will conclude with a post-race block party.
“The SkirtChaser Race Series is unlike any race you’ve ever participated in and we’re thrilled to be bringing it back to Austin for the second year,” said Maria Hennessey, Director of Sales and Marketing for SkirtSports. “Our goal is to bring both women and men together to celebrate fitness and socialize in an atmosphere that is friendly, encouraging, and most importantly fun.
Originally launched in November 2007, the SkirtChaser heads back to Austin in October for its second debut, with over 1,000 race participants expected to participate. True to the unique style and flavor of SkirtSports fashion, post-race events will include a block party with free beer from Oskar Blues, Red Bull mixes, great food, a fashion show and a live band.
SkirtSports products, sold through Rogue Equipment, will be for sale at the event as well as a variety of products from other regional sponsors & community sponsors involved in the race.
Female participants will receive apparel from the new SkirtSports Race Collection which includes a Catch Me Race Skirt, while the male “SkirtChasers” receive a men’s technical tee, featuring Coolmax technologies. Admission to the post-race block party is included with each race entry. Prize purses will be awarded to the top three participants: first place $500, second place $200, and third place $100. Registration for the SkirtChaser 5K can be found at www.skirtchaser5k.com/austin , along with details of pre-race and race day events. Entries are limited, so early registration is encouraged.
2008 SkirtChaser National Race Series sponsors include: COOLMAX, Oskar Blues, Red Bull, PowerBar, Dri-Lex, and HerSports.
