There’s a unique 5k race coming to Golden Gate Park on November 15. It’s called the SkirtChaser 5k and it’s sponsored by women’s athletic apparel company, Skirt Sports.
If you’re a skirt-wearer, your entry into the race buys you to one of the unique running skirts that the apparel company makes. All the women kick off the race and 3 minutes after they cross the start line, the men are allowed to start. They’re the skirt chasers, get it?
The first person to cross the finish line wins $500, and there’s even a prize for the first couple to cross together: “your man has to catch you after the start and you gotta cross hand in hand!”. Registration for the race ranges from $35 to $85 depending on the package you prefer; some include clothing, others don’t. And don’t worry guys, the men’s race packages don’t include skirts, but rather other nifty Coolmax apparel.
The race course runs through the heart of Golden Gate Park. Even the 2pm start time is attractive for those of us who like to sleep in on the weekends.
7×7 is giving away a free entry to the race. Head over to their website for details on how to enter by November 9.
So, will you be donning a skirt or chasing one on race day?
