Oiselle in 2020

Oiselle in 2020

There’s something undeniably powerful about the four-year sports cycle that revolves around the Olympics. Plus, we hear there’s a big election approaching. At Oiselle, we’re jumping into 2020 tucked into a cannonball position, ready to make a noisy and far-reaching splash. What’s cooking for 2020? Below is a starter list – and we hope to see you at any and all!

1. Marathon Olympic Trials in Atlanta, GA (Feb. 29th weekend):
Oiselle, plus more than 20 fierce competitors will be there in full force, with run meetups, poster-making, a raucous cowbell corner, and a fashion show/ dance party. You for sure will want to join the action!

 

2. Boston Marathon pop-up and meetups (April 15th – 20th):
We are stoked to join the Boston hype big time this year. In addition to our usual meetups, runs, and cowbell corner, we’re trying a new Pop-up experience. (Oh yeah!!) We'll have a Volée team opening in April as well, sign up to be notified here!

3. Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene (June 19th-28th):
Birds take Eugene, version 3.0. Drawing on our early days in the sport in 2012 and the excitement of 2016, we are getting ready for the mystery and magic that can only happen at the Trials. The 10 days promise to be dynamic, delightful, design-filled, daring, draining and delicious.

4. Fall Surprise:
We are working on something different; something bigger than our brand, womxn-centered, community-minded, and democracy-forward.

We are so thankful for all of you in our community. Thank you for making 2019 the best year yet, and please join us in dreaming and acting big in 2020. Sign up below to get notified about all of our 2020 doings!

Head up, wings out.

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen

I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.

Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird

This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.

We are honored to support five exceptional Black women athletes challenging norms in the running industry: athletes, advocates, and powerful voices in the sport. We invited each of them to reflect on their journeys through sport: how their identity has affected their development, and how they hope to impact the rising generation of athletes.
