People’s Choice Awards - Seattle Birds
Three cities. Three Volée communities. And over 100 different powersuit combinations. We selected three of our beloved Volée communities to host a People’s Choice Awards event: a run meet up, race meet up, post run and race happy hour. The caveat? Come dressed in your powersuit. Picking a powersuit is an individual pursuit. The people showed up their most power packed threads.
First up. The Seattle Volée came dressed in their winningest flystyle looks.
Feminine.

It was the best kind of happy hour…
An hour long run.
Followed by a cheers at the Fremont Brewery.
Next up, the women of the DC Volée!
