This year’s t-shirt design is a tip of the cap to the friends, family, crew, pacers, and—of course—the volunteers who support our incredible runners. Whether they’re filling water bottles, pacing, patching up a runner and sending them on their way, or holding vigil signs and ringing cowbells at the at the aid stations, it’s the community that makes these races possible and special. This fun character was featured on ALL OF OUR RACE SHIRTS THIS SEASON! We will have a limited number of HOODIES with this same design for sale at the race.
Nerd’ing out if I may… These shirts were year’s in the making. Designing and sampling / prototyping them was of course a lot of fun, but an insanely time-consuming affair. There is a reason you don’t see many 7 color race shirts as its complex and hard to pull off well. For this years t-shirt we went with a 100% cotton with the same weightless water based ink we normally use on our t-shirts. These shirts are the exact same cut / fit as the triblend fabric shirts we have been using for years, so your normal size should fit perfectly. For the hoodies we had to go with a little heavier print on these in order to get the color match to the t-shirt but they wear well. A note about fabric and sizing on the hoodies – this print is going on what we are calling the RSR Heavy Blend 8oz Hooded Sweatshirt. If you have bought hoodies from us in the past, these are different. They are a little heavier. We love the fabric and the generous hood in conjunction with this full color design. The material is 50% cotton, 50% polyester. These are sized similar to our other hoodies to start but they do shrink a touch more. If the previous hoodies you have purchased from us were just on the small side for you, you may want to size up.
