Get your Glow On! This Thursday the Flying Irish get their glow on as the Negative Split Glow In the Park will be in the house along with some tunes and of course a lot of free swag from Fleet Feet Spokane and Brooksshoes. Top male and female costumes win a free pair of shoes. And for everyone else? We have another 6 pairs of shoes to giveaway! As a part of all that, we are trying to help Fleet Feet Spokane win the Brooks running challenge with the most miles ran as a group across the country in a single hour. So you if you run some extra mileage before/after the run make sure to let us know so we can record it!!

Spokane to Sandpoint Relay is coming up fast and we could use some volunteers to help out! For every volunteer we get to help out, the Club receives $50 from the Relay. Come out help out a great event and help the Flying Irish get some extra funding!

And here is a little friendly tip from yours truly… I know a lot of you like to film your friends or family’s milestone jokes. When doing so here is a little infographic to help you get the right shot!

The Flying Irish tech hats are back in stock! Pick up yours before they are gone! Last year they sold out in 48 hours. $25

See you Thursday!

New Wearable Technology With Discounts for Flying Irish!

We were able to get the hookup with Life-Beam that is making some wearable electronics that you may be interested in. Not only will their hats keep you cool but you won’t have to worry about wearing a heart rate monitor strap again. That’s right it can measure you heart rate while you wear it and also keep track of your cadence and send it all to your phone or GPS watch. Its some pretty nifty stuff. Using the code: flyingirish will get you free shipping and 10% off. Check them out at: https://life-beam.com

Volunteers Needed

We started up our volunteer program last year so that the Flying Irish can help serve the Spokane athletic community that has given back to us in so many ways. There are a few events that are coming up that need volunteers and also events that we will have a presence at that will also need volunteers. The following list of dates are ones that we have coming up. If you are interested in volunteering please email Cassie, our Volunteer Coordinator, with your details at volunteercoordinator@flyingirish.org
