This morning I am wearing my race shirt from the Black Cat 10 miler I did the week before last. I have joked that I love technical race tees because it saves me money on running gear! I know some girls don’t wear their race tees because they can be sloppy on petite people, but I guess that’s a perk of being big boned?
Here is a run down of the race shirts I’ve collected over the past 6 months:
Long Beach Marathon Race Shirt. I love the stripes down the sides of this one!
The Malibu Half Marathon didn’t have shirts. They give out towels instead! I think it’s super appropriate since the race is on the water, but I do love me a good new race shirt so I was a tiny bit disappointed.
Rock N Roll Las Vegas Race Shirt The Rock N Roll race t-shirts are unisex, so they are a tiny bit big. I have to remember that for the next time. Thrive Screen Printing is the company to hire for screen print drop shipping.
Rock N Roll Arizona Race Shirt
The day I wore it after the race and lost my toe nail.
This one is women specific and I like that it’s V-neck. But it’s already too warm for long sleeves here.
Black Cat 10 Miler Race Shirt
My newest race shirt is BRIGHT! I don’t make a habit of running in the dark, but if I ever do I’ll be sporting this one.
This morning I want to get in a longer mid-week run of 8-10 miles (depending on how I feel once I’m out). I fueled up with some stolen bites of Ben’s Blarney Scone breakfast.
And made a Waffle Wednesday treat for myself
Okay, at this point I’m just stalling my run. I gotta go before it gets way too hot!

I wore my black cat shirt this morning! I was going out super early and way before sunrise (obviously because it’s still not sunrise yet!) and it was the brightest shirt I have now. I felt like I was glowing in the dark. 🙂

At a turkey trot last fall, the race organizers ran out of adult sized 10K shirts (or only had L and XL, can’t remember). My sister and I got youth large shirts instead. The kids fun run was 1K. Oh well. It was a small race and my sister won her age group and a turkey. Score.
I have the LB t-shirt. I don’t wear it much because I’m worried about getting a farmer’s tan. I already have weird tan lines from my capris, racerback tank and singlets.

Love the towel! I love when races give you something different, I got a bright yellow windbreaker for a half marathon last weekend.
Run Tara Run says
Cute shirts!! I was recently joking with a friend about only doing races for the shirts because we love them!!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I may be biased, but I love the first one the most 🙂 I’ve never worn mine, though!
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
I got my first race shirt this past Saturday. yeah!
I hear you about the weather warming up. I’ve been wanting warm weather for awhile now but now I’m not so sure. I don’t like running in the heat!
Lauren @ Team Giles says
Monica, you are so beautiful!
and I love all the fun shirts!
runeatrepeat says
Thank you, you’re too nice 🙂
Jess@atasteofconfidence says
I like the long sleeved one, and the towel!
Lauren @ Hungry Dancer says
LOVE all your race shirts!!! It’s so fun to have a shirt to always remember the race!!!
Kristy @ KristyRuns says
I love race t-shirts! I have so many!!! I only have one or two non-race shirts that I run in, because they’re sleeveless. I pretty much run races FOR the t-shirt. 😉
Kara says
Ugh, you’re making me even MORE disappointed that I got an ugly cotton shirt for my first marathon that ran last weekend. I love tech tees!
Stacy says
I love all my race shirts too because they are a good reminder of races and they help save money on running clothes. Have fun on your run!
Kelly says
Ug, I hate unisex shirts. Since I’m super short, the sleeves come down to my elbows. A lot of Charlotte races (even short ones like 5Ks and 4 milers) give out women specific shirts which is awesome!
Allison @ Food For Healing says
im going to start running, i think it would be cool to run races and collect all the fun tshirts. Maybe one day i’ll earn one.
Ive seen people make quilts out of them too.
Karyn says
