Let’s talk a little bit about the Diva Dash…
I’m going to give you a little peak behind the curtain.
I work off and on with the Adventure Fit Crew. I arrive in a
particular city a couple of days before the event and get to participate in the
set up of the course and perform a lot behind the scenes. If you’ve ever seen
me it’s usually tearing off on a bicycle to a particular spot to check on the race course or to support the staff and volunteers. Our job is to provide a safe and rewarding
experience for all who participate.
When I hear people talk about the Diva Dash, they try to
compare it to other similar races. Oh, it's similiar to this race or that race. That it’s just another obstacle run. I feel that
it is more than a physical exercise of speed and strength. What I see at races cannot be compared to your typical 5K or
adventure run.
There’s a lot of cheering, smiles and energy around the
start line. I see women, stopping short of the finish line to cheer others to
the finish. I see groups of friends who used the Diva Dash as an opportunity to
train together, to improve their fitness, and bond with others through the
shared experience of an obstacle run. There’s always a crowd around the cargo
net cheering the women climbing up and over the last obstacle. After the race
groups are taking pictures, playing tug-o-war, and grabbing snacks or other
giveaways provided by our sponsors. It’s not just about the run. It seems to be
a gathering. People hang out with friends and enjoy the day and the sense of
accomplishment.
