Spring Cleaning!


With spring in full swing and summer approaching, many people take the opportunity to do some spring cleaning.  With that in mind, we're offering a couple of specials this month to help both you and us clean out of some of the clutter.  

Do you have some old Run Big shirts that you never wear anymore just taking up space in your drawer? Hopefully they haven't been relegated to rag use just yet, because we're offering you a chance to replace that old shirt with a new one.  Come to any of our stores between May 23 and May 30 to turn in an old Big Island Running Company logo shirt and get 50% off a new logo shirt.  Any of our logos are welcome - Run Aloha, Run Big, Old School BIRC logo, BIRC Track Club, HILO and KONA. We look forward to revisiting some of our older designs.  (Limit one shirt exchange per person, please).  

Then on Friday, May 27 and Saturday, May 28, help us clean out some of our older shoe models! We'll be having big clearance shoe sales at all three of our locations (Alii Drive, Hilo, and Kaloko).  Shoes priced as low as $40!  Clearing out some of these older models will help us make room for the latest and greatest models being introduced and will keep your feet (and wallet) happy on the roads!

 

Protect your Flask

Hydro Flasks continue to be popular sellers here in Hawaii.  In addition to new colors available in the 21 and 20 ounce sizes, we also have an exciting new accessory to announce - Hydro Skins for your 40 ounce bottle!  Daily wear and tear can take a toll on your Hydro Flask, resulting in dings, dents and scratches.  This protective silicone case cushions your flask from many of those abuses. Available in 13 colors plus both a black and turquoise design featuring the Hawaiian island chain.  

New colors of the 40 ounce bottles should also be available in store soon, so keep checking back!
$15.99

Volunteer Help Needed


Organizing races is a complicated task and could not be completed without the help of numerous volunteers.  Hawaii Ironman 70.3 (Honu) takes place on Saturday, June 4 at Mauna Lani, and volunteers are still needed.  Specifically, we could use help in the following areas:
  • Run Course Set up on Friday, June 3 from 7 a.m.-4 p.m.
  • Run Course Guides on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. (shorter shifts available)
  • Run Course Tear Down on Saturday, June 3 from 1 p.m.-6 p.m.
If you are available to help, please contact Melissa by email at melissa@bigislandrunningcompany.com. Thanks for your consideration!

Run Big Photo Contest 2016


It's time again for our annual Run Big photo contest! Between now and the end of May, we'll be accepting submissions of you wearing your Big Island Running Company logo gear.  Send us a photo of the last race you ran, the last vacation you took, or just the last time you wore your shirt!  Submissions can be emailed to Melissa at melissa@bigislandrunningcompany.com or posted on either of our Facebook pages (Big Island Running Company or Big Island Running Company - Hilo store).  We'll compile the finalists and submit them to your votes in the June newsletter and through the number of "likes" each photo receives on Facebook.

The winner will receive a Run Big prize package with some new Big Island Running Company gear so he or she can continue to Run Big this coming year!
