This May, the Safely team headed to Fort Worth, Texas, to partner with Girls Who Run DFW for the Scoop Into Spring 5K and 10K, a community race that brought together women runners for a morning of movement, encouragement, and fun along the Trinity Trail.
Hosted at The Woodshed, the event welcomed runners of all experience levels and created a space where women could celebrate fitness, friendship, and confidence.
Building Confidence Through Runner Safety Education
At Safely, our mission has always been to help people feel more confident while moving through the world. That is why we were excited to spend the morning teaching runners how to properly use pepper spray through hands on demonstrations with our Safely Practice Spray.
Unlike traditional pepper spray, Practice Spray contains a 100% water formula, allowing participants to safely learn proper technique and gain confidence before ever needing to use pepper spray in a real life situation.
Throughout the event, runners had the opportunity to practice their aim, ask questions, and learn important self defense tips designed specifically for women who run.
Pinky Made a Special Appearance
One of the highlights of the morning was the appearance of Pinky, Safely's life sized pink skeleton and fan favorite at running events across the country.
Pinky helped make safety education interactive and approachable, giving participants a fun target for practice spray demonstrations while helping start conversations around runner safety and preparedness.
Celebrating One of Our Safely Ambassadors
We were especially excited to partner with Girls Who Run DFW because the community was founded by Summer, one of our incredible Safely Ambassadors.
Through her leadership, Girls Who Run DFW has become a welcoming and empowering space for women runners across the Dallas Fort Worth area. Seeing ambassadors like Summer create meaningful communities and inspire others to get outside and move is exactly why we created the Safely Ambassador Program.
A Morning of Community on the Trinity Trail
The Scoop Into Spring 5K and 10K embodied everything we love about the running community. Women supporting women, celebrating movement, and empowering one another.
Events like these are a reminder that running is about so much more than miles. It is about finding confidence, building friendships, and creating communities where everyone feels welcome.
We are incredibly grateful to Girls Who Run DFW for inviting Safely to be part of such a special event and for their continued commitment to creating opportunities that inspire and empower women runners throughout North Texas.
