Skincare By Athletes, For Athletes

MISSION Skincare™ is the official skincare system of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series

Running is hard on the skin. Sweating for hours at a time is like stewing in an acid bath. On top of that, the sun’s ultraviolet radiation cooks your skin while you log the miles. And the skincare products formulated for couch potatoes that you use to restore your skin may dry it out instead.

CHICAGO – (August 2, 2009) – To the clamoring of thunder sticks and roar of thousands of spectators, Kara Goucher cruised to victory at the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon on Sunday morning. Executing her training plan for the upcoming IAAF World Championships and exceeding the expectations of her coach Alberto Salazar, Goucher finished in 1 hour, 8 minutes, 5 seconds, almost twenty seconds ahead of the first male finisher and produced the second fastest women’s half-marathon time on a record standard course in the USA.

“I felt I could run in the 67-68 minute range,” said Goucher, 31, who remains undefeated over the 13.1 mile distance. “The race was great, better than my preparations for Boston. It was awesome to be the first finisher and I wanted to enjoy the crowd. I really liked how the course changed up, there was never a stretch where it was dull, and you are going through the city, going over bridges and along the water. I really liked the course.”
