I’ve always thought that the half marathon was poorly named. I mean, I get that 13.1 is half of 26.2, but calling it a “half” seems to diminish the accomplishment of running 13.1 miles. And it is an accomplishment that should be celebrated.
The awesome ladies at Skirt Sports share my opinion, so they named their race a Thirteener, because “it’s not half of anything.” I kind of love that.
Know what else I love? Giving stuff away. (Okay, so this is my first blog giveaway, but I already know I’m going to love it. And so will you). Skirt Sports is giving one lucky reader an entry to the 13er (or the 10k or 5k), PLUS a $125 gift certificate!
The race is in Louisville, CO, on June 14, but if you’re not a Coloradoan, don’t despair: there’s also a virtual option, so you can join the Skirt Sports fun wherever you are!
Disclaimer: Skirt Sports also gave me a race entry and gift certificate. And look at the fun things I got!
I’ve never done this race before, but it looks like a ton of fun: a finisher skirt instead of a shirt, cake at the finish, and raffles! I’m excited to participate, and I hope some of my readers will, too!
Ready to enter? Click here to head to a Rafflecopter with several entry options! The giveaway is open until April 30 at 11:59 p.m.

Fun giveaway! You got some cute things from them! I really have been wanting to try the Jette skirt, so I would get that with the gift certificate for sure.
I love their stuff! The Jette skirt is super cute.
You’re adorable in the “cowbell” shirt an skirt! I’d get another Skirt Sport sports bra, they’re awesome!
Sweet giveaway! The HeartBreaker skirt is my favorite!
Thanks for the contest! If I would win, I would get a sports bra, really need one. 🙂
I got one with my gift certificate, too, but I didn’t think that picture needed to be on the Internet. I really like it!
I’m not much of a skort wearer to be honest. The last time I wore one was in elementary school as a part of my uniform. Seeing them again though, I think they’re pretty practical. I would probably get the roller skirt, because it looks light. But I also really like the “Go Longer” Skirt. The one you’re wearing looks pretty good too.
Cool that you got asked to host a giveaway. 🙂
I hadn’t worn them since they were trendy way back when, either, but I love running in them. You should give one a shot!
Ooh I love that cowbell shirt – and all the gear is adorable on you! 🙂
Thanks! I love it, too. I’d wear it in my marathon next weekend if I’d worn it on a few more training runs. Maybe that will be my post-race shirt while I cheer for the next finishers. 🙂
So cute! And the race sounds like loads of fun!
I wish this were here in Illinois; I’d love to enter the 10k one. If I win, I’d love to get a Kelly bra and a Tough Girl skirt/pants combo. I’d also pick up some new running socks.
You could do the virtual race and still get the gear!
I like the solid colors like the black one you have on! Simple yet cute.
Love wearing skirts for running! I would get the gym girl ultra skirt!
That’s the colorful one I’m wearing. I love it!
I would love to get the REDEMPTION CAPRI. I like the color blue.
I have never tried a running skirt, but I have to admit the Gym Girl Ultra is pretty sweet and would love to try it out! I’d also have to get the ‘find your happy pace’ shirt!
…my entry may have been under another email, so just in case, here is that one, too!
I was thisclose to getting that top… but my gift card ran out. 🙂
I’d buy the Adventure Girl Skirt. I have one already and I’m wearing it in my 50 mile race this Saturday. I like the 5 pockets!
I hope your race went well… can’t wait to read your recap!
That skirt is adorable, but your legs are what caught my eye! Check out that quad! The fact that you are giving away a race entry in CO, one place that I REALLY want to go, is very tempting. If I win, I may have to come out for a week. If I don’t win, I may still have to come out for a week. Now you’ve got me thinking.
Haha thanks! Now I wish I hadn’t used rafflecopter so I could rig the contest so you’d win and have to come out. 🙂 Not that I’d really do that, but seriously, come visit.
I love the Lioness skirt. Actually I love ALL the skirts.
I know! I had the hardest time choosing.
I love running in skirts! And I’ll take any one of their colorfully awesome skirts!
I can’t pick one…love them all.
How fun! I really love the Everyday Active Bra and the Vixen Skirt 🙂
What a fun giveaway! I really like the running skirt with spankies!!! I’ve never run in a “running skirt” before so this could be fun if I win 🙂
You should try one! They’re awesome, especially when it’s hot.
Tough Girl Skirt – Long -WOW- I want one of everything but this really got my attention.
I would like to try a running skirt maybe the Heartbreaker skirt!
Cuuuute!! I have never run in a skirt but would love to try!!
I have those Mizunos-love them!!
Those are my go-to shoes. I don’t know what I’ll do if Mizuno ever stops making them.
I have actually had a hard time finding them in the teal color. The white is always available though….I found another pair of mizunos that i am excited to try out!
great giveaway! I would love to pick out a new skirt to add to my collection !
These are so cute!
Congrats on your first giveaway! Those skirts are adorable!
I’d get the Lioness skirt in pink!
I will definitely be getting the LIONESS SKIRT! So so cute!
Love that reversible tank, so CUTE on you!
Yeah, definitely didn’t feel like “half” when I ran my two half marathons in college!
Those are some super cute outfits! And Congrats to the winner of the giveaway!
