Men Chasing Women… In A Race? For Money?
Racing Colorado
The battle of the sexes takes a unique twist on this Denver 5k run. Embracing both the physiological and primal hormonal differences between men and women, the Skirtchaser 5K in Denver has $500 up for grabs in a winner-take-all race to the finish line. When the starting gun sounds, the men must wait 3 minutes while hundreds of skirts take off running. Then it’s a full on race to the finish in a winner-take-all competition, with the first across the finish line – regardless of gender – taking home $500.
The Skirtchaser 5k race brings up numerous questions of fairness. Is it fair to give women a 3 minute head start in a 5k run? Is it wrong to make (let) women run well while being chased by a bunch of sweaty, panting men? As a male, is it not the ultimate cruelty to be placed in the position of chasing what he desires (dolled up in an athletic skirt, no less) yet knowing he’ll never catch her? Talk about living the perspective of those dogs at the race tack!
Actually, this one will be more of a flirty affair. An environment where you’re more likely to hear, “Oops, you caught me – here’s my phone number… call me!†and less likely to hear, “I caught you! Wait! Don’t taze me!!†Regardless of your libido level, it’s a rare chance for both genders to experience the thrill of the chase.
With a post-race block party that includes happy-hour style food and drinks, dating games, music and a fashion show, this unique Colorado race the evening of August 29th is sure to be a memorable one. Visit www.skirtchaser5k.com for details.

This year they are also giving out $200 for second and $100 for third.
I ran the race last year, pretty sure they just gave out money to the winner.
It’s a cool event though, albeit a tough course, which probably favors the men, in Denver at least.
Woman won it last year. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Simon Cheprot show up this year and if he does, he will win.
