Cute Running Shirts Review/Giveaway!


This contest has ended. Thank you to all that entered!

To continue my Blogiversary celebration, I’ve got  another great giveaway to offer you! Liz, from Cute Running Shirts contacted me and offered up one of their super cute running shirts to give to a lucky reader. When I say lucky, I do mean it in every sense because the shirt you’ll win is this awesome St. Patrick’s Day themed running shirt!

Run Lucky

Run with luck on your side with this super cute and comfy running shirt.

  • 100% sweat-wicking poly
  • Tag free label.
  • Athletic women’s fir.
  • Fits true to size.
  • Antimicrobial odor fighting material.

XS-2    S-4    M-4/6    L-8/10    XL-12/14

Liz sent me a shirt just like this and it is just as cute in person as it is in the pictures. It’s also extremely comfy! If you’ve followed me for very long, you know how I love to to dress up for races and I’m planning on wearing this one to my local St. Patrick’s Day 5k! Can you imagine how awesome this would look with a green running skirt or tutu and some matching knee socks?

Cute Running Shirts was started by Liz Stephenson and Kristin Rhoads, two running buddies that loved fun running gear but had a hard time finding exactly what they were looking for. After making a couple shirts of their own for some races and getting stopped by other runners, they decided to turn this into a business! These ladies are also believe in giving back.

Here are the charity organizations they donate to:

  • National MS Society of Illinois
  • Susan G. Komen Foundation
  • Ovarian Cancer Research
  • Autism Speaks
  • Easter Seals
  • American Cancer Society
  • Make a Wish Foundation
  • Wounded Warrior Project

Besides their sweat wicking running shirts, they also have pre-shrunk 100% cotton shirts for your off days and super cute accessories!

Now here’s your chance to win one of your own!
