Beginner's Luck: 5k Victory

Over the weekend, one of our own here at ProLite Gear competed in the Sweetgrass Health & Wellness Raw Deal Run, 5k. Congrats to Rob for quite literally bringing home the bacon!

The race was held at the Raw Deal Ranch in McLeod, MT - just a few miles south of Big Timber, MT. Among the fifty-two finishers Rob came in fifth overall, third for men, and first in his age group. He doesn’t consider himself much of a runner, but as he says, “there was plenty of motivation!” That’s right; prizes for top finishers included a variety of meats from local producers. “This is way better than a medal. We’re going home to enjoy some local flavor for dinner tonight.” Whether you’re a born-and-raised cowboy or a city slicker, the event provided a good time for everyone. Post-race chili and live music in the barn finished off the day in good spirits.

What shoes was he wearing when he crossed the finish line? The GoLite Tara Lite, of course! The Tara Lite is Rob’s favorite off-road running shoe, providing just the right blend of cushion and support. We can’t guarantee that you’ll win any races by sporting the GoLite Tara Lite, but now we know first hand that your feet will feel good even after pushing them to their limits.

Try out the GoLite Tara Lite during your next run!
