Coconut Grove Festival and Shoe Clearance!


This Saturday, Coconut Grove Marketplace (where our Alii Drive store is located) is hosting its first-ever Coconut Grove Festival.  There will be lots of activities for the whole family, including musical performances, a Coconut Dessert Challenge, craft booths and random prize drawings. 

Big Island Running Company's Alii Drive store will be joining in the fun with a special shoe clearance event in front of the store.  We'll have shoes priced from $40 and up!  We'll also be offering a free gift with every shoe purchase.  So stop by and stock up on those shoes you love or try something new for a fraction of the regular price! And as always, you can pick up some new Run Big gear to go with those shiny new kicks! We'll be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Be Active

Are you looking for a new watch that can go from work to workout and do everything in one place? Well, the new Garmin Vivoactive is for you.  This super-thin smartwatch contains GPS for your running, biking and golfing and also has lap swimming capability.  It will also track your activity by counting steps and giving you a gentle vibrating reminder that it's time to get moving again! 

The watch also pairs with your smartphone so you can receive alerts for phone calls, texts, emails and other notifications. Additional features allow you to customize the face, download apps, and upload your activity stats.

And even with all of these features, the watch is so lightweight and sleek, it's easy to wear around for daily use!
$249.99 (Also available in white)

Run Big Photo Contest 2015!

It's time once again for our annual Run Big photo contest! We love seeing all the pictures that you send from across the country and the world wearing your Run Big and Run Aloha shirts and hats.  Last year we received photos from Paris, the Parthenon and New Zealand, among others. 

We'll be accepting entries to the contest between now and May 31.  After that, we'll narrow the field down to a handful of finalists, which we'll submit to a vote in our next newsletter. The winner will receive a Run Big prize package of new gear!

You can submit entries via our Facebook page or by emailing them to Melissa (melissa@bigislandrunningcompany.com).  Good luck and we can't wait to see your submissions!
