Top Reasons to Get Tenacious!
That's right everybody, we are just 10 days away from kicking off the very full (and very fun) Tenacious Ten weekend, and here's why you'll probably want to join... or risk serious FOMO.
There’s a distance for everybody! Feeling speedy? Run the 10k! Looking for a new PR? Run the 10 mile! Under 12? Run the Kid’s 1K!
And if running’s not your thing (or if you’re just on a break), there are LOTS of opportunities to volunteer or cheer on others! Can you say MORE COWBELL?!
Swag, swag and more swag! Whether you choose the 10k or the 10 mile, participants (limited to the first 1,500) will receive their choice of a limited edition Flyte Tank or Flock Tee. These babies won’t be for sale – the only way to get one is to register to run! And that’s not all - all runners will also receive a Tenacious Bandana and the signature Cowbell Finisher’s Medal.
And that bandana will make a great accessory for the Bright Birds Dance Party! Come out to Capitol Hill and celebrate your day with friends, spandos and DJ Reverend Dollars. Parking is a hassle, so rideshare. It’s worth it, we promise!
Make a weekend out if it! If you’re in from out of town (or want to make it a fun filled weekend staycation), there’s an awesome lineup of events happening all weekend long! Everything is free, but space is limited, so be sure to RSVP. Kick your weekend off with Thursday Night Flight Club - Ten 10 edition, get race ready with wisdom from Lauren Fleshman, learn from Kelly Herron in a self-defense workshop and get the inside scoop on the Oiselle design process from Sally. So many fun activities!
We can’t wait to see you and get tenacious all weekend long!

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen
I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird
This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.
Black History Month: Celebrating Our Athletes
We are honored to support five exceptional Black women athletes challenging norms in the running industry: athletes, advocates, and powerful voices in the sport. We invited each of them to reflect on their journeys through sport: how their identity has affected their development, and how they hope to impact the rising generation of athletes. Hear from Madie Boreman, Kendra Coleman, Brenna Detra, Carmen Pelar Graves, and Ari Hendrix-Roach.
