Box subscriptions are something that’s big these days. Some are fashion related, some are make up related, some are fitness related. One that’s running related is the Fun Run Box. I’d never heard of it before Bibrave, so I was curious. What is it exactly?
- A “running subscription box with a running experience” as they like to describe themselves
- Good for novices up to experts
- A monthly box with gear and challenges to inspire to get engaged.
Sounds simple enough! I had the chance to try the Oktoberfest box over the month of September. When it came in the mail, here’s what I opened up:
I got a shirt, hat, massage stick, beer flavored jelly beans, a bib number, a magnet and a granola bar. Additionally, you got a challange with two different routes to go down in terms of miles and time. For the month, it was the 5 Mile Dasch challenge. You were also assigned a team, for me, it was Team Diggity.
Over the course of the month, the goal was to get pictures of you using or somehow engaging with everything in your box. Whether it be rolling out with your massage stick, working out in your shirt or hat, completing your 5 mile challenge, afterwards you posted pictures with different hashtags. After the month was up, whichever picture got the most likes, engagements etc, was the winner (can we say gift cards and free $$??).
My training got mixed in with the amount of halves I’ve been doing. My 5 miles ended up being the first 5 miles of a hilly half marathon so my time was not that great, but I still have the over/under work outs to go off
Cost: only $45 for $70+ of gear. AND you can use BIBRAVE for 15% off your order by going through here
Fun Run Box is a good way to stay motivated and get competitive for any range of runner, whether it be getting back into running or starting out. Hey, it’s even something that can be used amongst a running group for some good fun. I personally had a hard time getting into it, but it’s solely because I was in marathon training mode, so I felt like I was trying to do two completely separate things. Part of what I also struggled with was the beer flavored jelly beans/granola bar as I’m not a fan of the taste of beer (I ran a race this weekend and gave another BRP my beer if that says anything!). Regardless, take a look at FunRunBox for yourself and give it a try!
