July 4th Firecracker 5k Race Day Looks
It's almost Firecracker 5k race day! A big congrats to those who've been following Coach Heather's 8 week training block and are lining up for your first 5k. Whether you're racing your first or fastest 5k on July 4th we have some looks to guarantee your race day photos are on point. And of course that you're wearing the right layers (or lack thereof) for the forecast.
Red White and Blue
If your July 4th style is as American as denim cutoffs and baseball, run free and brave in the colors of the grand old flag. You can go two directions, super classic in the first look I'm dubbing 'Grand Old Flag' or a little more modern as in the second look 'Young American'.

Runway Bra Charcola
If a heat wave is rolling through on race day, just go running bra only and wear a cap presoaked in cold water. And of course, show up the start hydrated. If bra only isn't your gig (it's not mine) the Go Time, Farrow and Mesh Up give you the cool breeze feel of the bra only feeling with the full coverage of a tank.
