Meet BibRave Pro – Christine Newton!

Our BibRave Pros are a team of awesome run bloggers who run the best races and test the latest products. We asked each of our Pros to answer a few questions about themselves, their running history, and their favorite gear! If you have any comments or additional questions, let them know below!

Name: Christine Newton

Where I live… Raleigh, NC!

I’ve been a BibRave Pro for… this is my first year as a BibRave Pro!

My main running goal for 2019 is… running the Antelope Canyon 50 Miler in March, and improving my overall speed afterwards.

My running shoes are… Saucony Triumph ISO!

My favorite race distance is… the half marathon!

My favorite races are… Lululemon Seawheeze Half, Napa to Sonoma Wine Country Half, and Rock N Roll New Orleans!

My playlist includes… anything with a beat!

My pre-race routine… a light meal of tried and true foods, and arriving early to the corrals to begin to get in the race mindset.

My race day gear checklist includes… my Nathan hydration pack, Injiji or Balega socks, Squirrel Nut Butter for chafing, Honey Stinger gummies, and a Bobo bar for my post-race snack.

Why I like being a BibRave Pro… I’m excited for the opportunities to become more involved with races throughout the US. I love sharing my running experiences and favorite races and can’t wait to do the same with BibRave.

My favorite episode of The BibRave Podcast is… Episode 126: Erin Strout on Women, Running, and More.

Post-race I always eat… a Bobo’s bar and a banana. Even better if a race has chocolate milk!
