T-Shirts: What's the Deal?

We often hear, "What's the deal with your T-shirts?" Here's the scoop:

At Silver Circle Sports Events, we believe T-shirts should be more than just a giveaway—they're a badge of accomplishment. Whether it’s a 140.6-mile triathlon you trained a year for or a fun mud run with your kids, it’s about celebrating the memories made along the way.

As athletes ourselves, we know how frustrating a low-quality, scratchy T-shirt can be. That’s why we focus on creating high-quality shirts with thoughtful designs—the kind you’ll actually want to wear.

Why We Do Things Differently

Predicting participant registration after the T-shirt lead time is only slightly easier than predicting the weather. In the past, this meant thousands of surplus shirts piling up in our warehouse—wasteful and not very eco-friendly.

So, we made a change:

• Shirt Guarantee Deadline: Participants who register by a set date are guaranteed a T-shirt.
• After the Deadline: Remaining shirts go into an online inventory.
• Opt-Out Option: You can opt out of a T-shirt before the deadline and save on your registration fee.

This approach reduces waste, saves money, and is better for the planet.

Extras & After the Race

We always order a few extra shirts, and any leftovers are available after the race on a first come, first served basis. But once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Note: We don’t warehouse extra or unclaimed shirts. We simply don’t have the room to store them!

Thanks for understanding, and whether you grab a shirt or not, we’re glad to have you as part of the event. 🏃‍♀️👕🌍
