Team Kick Start came together on Tuesday, September 20th for a pre race prep event for their first-ever race at the Skirt Sports Skirt Chaser 5k on October 1 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium. After a practice run/walk, the Team shared challenges, successes, surprises, and thrills encountered thus far as they train. Supported by their Personal Motivators, women who once thought a 5k unthinkable are now embracing themselves as runners and loving it! Click here to learn more.

The high point of the evening occurred when each Racer received a special Skirt Sports outfit for the race. Check out how great they look!

Join us at the Kick Start booth during the race to cheer these incredible ladies on at the Skirt Sports Skirt Chaser 5k.

On Saturday August 6, 2011 Skirt Sports launched our third cycle of the highly-impactful Kick Start program designed to motivate and guide women with barriers to fitness to complete her first 5k race. At the kick-off event, 40 women - 20 beginners and 20 Personal Motivators (volunteers matched one-on-one to mentor each beginner during training) - came together as Team Kick Start to embark on their 8-week journey to complete the Skirt Sports Skirt Chaser 5k Denver on October 1, 2011 at Invesco field.

The energy and enthusiasm of the group is inspiring with each beginner determined to integrate fitness into her life to combat the challenges she faces in a complicated world. From wanting to improve her health, to a desire to inspire her children, to a need for the sanity that comes from regular exercise, each Kick Start racer has her own reason for joining Kick Start but all share a common bond and determination to seize the power of fitness.
