Who are we and who am I?

We are actually me, Melanie Mitchell, founder of Poppy Sports and avid (slow!) runner, triathlete and general love of being active.

Based in Colorado, we offer apparel for athletic women that we have carefully selected from the fantastic array of companies that make high performance athletic gear for women.

I love sport and I love clothing that performs better than I do!

Poppy Sports just launched 8 weeks ago and our goal is to support active women and encourage girls to be empowered by being active and engaged. Next year we hope to launch Team Poppy - a program where teenager girls would mentor younger girls to run a 5k together - all with a Team Poppy outfit of course.

Personally, watch out for my posts on Pikes Peak Sports - fantastic idea - and my efforts to run my first half marathon at the end of July (fortunately at sea level.)

Thanks Pikes Peak Sports,

Melanie Mitchell
