SkirtChaser Denver, Saturday August 29th
Tweet
The SkirtChaser are coming to Denver! That’s right fellas, get ready to chase some skirts. SkirtChaser Denver is a part of Skirt Sports SkirtChaser race series. When Nicole DeBoom developed Skirt Sports, the first ever running skirt, she always had in mind to do a race series in conjunction with her product with the same message: look good, feel good, perform better. Work hard and play hard. This is what the SkirtChaser race series is all about. Feeling good and playing hard.
The SkirtChaser race is different from your normal 5K. All of the women participants are given a Skirt Sports skirt to wear and line up at the starting line before the men. It’s always ladies first at SkirtChaser races, as it should be. The women start the race as the men wait at the start line, watching the sea of women run away from them. Kind of like your typical Saturday night. Only this time you still have a chance to catch the women. Three minutes after the women’s start the men are released. If you think 3 minutes is a long head start, it’s not as long as you think. When I ran the Skirt Chaser – Raleigh I was able to catch 355 skirts and only 20 eluded me. That’s a lot better ratio than a normal Saturday night! I was even injured at the time. So why was I able to catch so many skirts? Most likely because I have mad skirt chasing skills, so don’t expect the same results. Currently the standings for Skirt Chaser race winners are Girls – 7 Guys – 3. Apparently a 3 minute head start is pretty fair. First person across the line, male or female, receives 500 dollars!
A great reason to run this fun 5K race is the block party after the race. Runners over 21 receive two free beers from Oskar Blues Brewery to replace their carbs. The post race block party has happy hour style food and drinks, dating games, and fashion show. The block party goes from 5:15 to 8:00, a perfect time to relax, have fun, and meet some new friends. Skirt Chaser makes it easy to meet new friends by giving out stickers for the single men and women to wear to signify them being single. It’s a efficient system aimed at getting more participants to socialize. From the website, “…you may just meet your future spouse!” I have always wanted to date a runner. Even if you already have a spouse, the event is a great time with live music entertainment, a sexy fashion show, and a hilarious awards ceremony with awards in categories such as “most likely to make out at the water station.” I’m not sure what you have to do to qualify for that one.
You want to run this 5K race, no matter what your ability level, sex, or marital status is. It’s fun for everyone! Entry fees start at $35 but you can upgrade in order to get some great deals on T-shirts, skirts, shorts, and visor. Whatever race package fits you best. Procrastination fees start after Aug 9th at a $7 increase, registration closes on August 26th. A $10 procrastination fee is added to race day entries.
Stop procrastinating on love and run the SkirtChaser 5K – Denver. Your mother will be happy.
