Gear Junkie: Bia Multisport GPS Watch Review & Giveaway

No ‘shrink it and pink it’ here: it was fascination at first click. Who wouldn’t fall for a watch that affirms badassery post workout?

Woman owned and operated with a very open, honest dialogue with their customer base and backers, partnering with Bia Sport for our upcoming Bay Area Title 9K was a natural choice. The fastest woman and fastest gal over the line in September will both receive a killer prize pack, including the new-to-market Bia multisport GPS watch.

Training is of course essential, but good gear can absolutely help one be prepared for any given situation out on the race course.
