June 16, 2014 (Freeport, ME) – Fast and Female in partnership with L.L.Bean hosted two Power Hour events in Freeport, Maine last month, led by US XC skiing superstar and L.L.Bean design and testing partner, Kikkan Randall.

The hour-long events were designed to inspire and empower girls ages 9-19 with fun and athletic activities that complement other sports training. A free event held at L.L.Bean’s Discovery Park was an unforgettable experience for the enthusiastic young participants.

“We are simply thrilled to be partnering with Kikkan, for her product design and testing expertise, yes, but she also serves as a fantastic role model for today’s youth and that’s what this Fast & Female event is all about—empowering young women to better understand how a healthy, active outdoor lifestyle can have enormous positive impacts on their life,” said Kelly Warsky, partnership marketing manager for L.L.Bean. “And an athlete of her stature will be able to offer us extremely valuable feedback and advice that will help us to continue to develop world-class products.”

In addition to leading the two Power Hour events, Randall was also available to sign autographs.
