This weekend a lot of people will take part in races. Some of their own creation, some for their community, some to beat a PR, some to help a charity and some to work on their own health. One such event will be the start of the time frame to complete the #SummerSoleMate virtual 5 or 10k with Flex It Pink. This race is open/taking place from July 25- August 1st. I love that they provide a span of time to complete this race. That way if one day or weekend is to busy for your schedule you still can take part in this event, enjoy this race and help support a charity and this community of Flex it Pink run/walkers! Additionally how cute is that tank top and medal? I am in love with the saying and colors!
So when I got my bag of race goodies I started thinking how many of these have I received and what all charities have I learned about, given back to, etc. So the rest of this post is a look at the fantastic virtual 5 or 10ks that this company has created, supported me and many others through and found a way to give to charities!
Excuse the hot mess of a picture, but I wanted to take a snapshot of all of the virtual 5k/10ks that Flex it Pink has provided all of us. Each time I see their posts on Instagram or Facebook I am always struck by how supportive they are to other people's voyage into a fit and health life. This picture holds all 10 medals, 9 shirts, 10 notes of thanks and encouragement, wrist bands, stickers from this company. Now what might be odd, but one of my favorites of all that is in the picture are the notes! These notes hold encouragement and praise. Encouragement that yes we can finish and achieve the results we want for our virtual 5 or 10k and praise because this company uses these virtual runs as a way to give to charity.

Now I have mentioned a charity several times. So which one you might ask? Well each virtual race has a different charity attached to it. On your letter within the race bag information about the charity is included. You also can see who the charity is when you register for the race on their website. Additionally sometimes there are stickers, pamphlets, bracelet/tags with more information from that charity.


After this race we had the Spring Sparkle and my goodness that is a pretty tank top and it was a great time to run/walk because it was near all the Easter candy goodies and was great to get out in the spring air and flowers. The charity for this virtual 5k was Love-water.org. Our donations helped provide "sparkling clean water to the people in Nicaragua." This charity sent a cute arm band/bracelet with the race bag. Additionally Quest Nutrition teamed up with Flex it Pink and sent more bars to us! I am telling you, these ladies and company really go all out in encouraging us to take part, get healthy and support others!

The last two races were the 2nd annual Pink Pumpkin Virtual 5k and the 2nd annual Light the Streets Pink 5k. These two races had some great shirt..as in the pink Run for the Boobies shirt is on fleek and the play on words with Runderland..I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy that! The charities chosen for these two races were 1)Beyond Boobs and 2)Feeding America Network. The Pink Pumpkin race introduced race packs for men and they are great. Seriously some of the men shirts have made me want a woman and mans shirt because they are just that good.
The second race was Girls Run the World and I am in love with this tank top. It is cute and girly but still so comfortable to wear working out, running errands, lounging around etc. I always get compliments on it and love wearing it! This virtual 5k/10k introduced us to a new organization (or new to me..) Girls on the Run International. The mission of this organization is just simply fantastic. I love to see organizations working with the youth to help provide and ensure a healthy, safe and supportive environment for them to grown and learn!
Along with the amazing charities, opportunties to work on your own health, be part of a community and get some great race swag bags, last Christmas Flex It Pink surprised many of us who had been part of every race. They sent a great headband in our race bag that matched our running tank! Seriously how cute is this? I may or may not have worn it today for my walk/run (NC summers you are going to get that sweat in the face without some sort of band/help!)
So if you have made it through this whole look back..kudos to you and thanks! I just wanted to share the races and charities that this company has supported. It allows me to set goals, give back and feel like I am part of a community. Now this company does more than just sponsor virtual events. If you are looking for some fun, cute, cool fitness apparel than you should definitely check them out! I have a few more tanks from them and I adore them! This one would be my favorite..it might be the quickest I have ever bought something..seriously I saw it and just clicked to buy. no other thought. and I love it. It is the softest material, obviously great certain holidays and perfect to work out, lounge, run errands, etc.!
A few more glimpses of my still a work in progress photography skills and all the race t-shirts or tanks!

Tanks/shirts with the supportive and encouraging notes
I hope if you read this and are 1)looking for some great workout clothes and fun events, 2)just starting on your fitness voyage or 3)looking for a way to help make some type of difference you will check this company out! I did back in October 2013 and have loved every minute of it:)
