Short Sleeve Run-Dri Shirts 
The race entry fee does not include a race shirt. Shirts may be purchased for $11 at the time of registration, and on race day (while supplies last). This option is being made because some people already have enough shirts in their closet, and they would rather have a lower entry fee compared to an event where the entry fee includes a shirt. We take our shirts very seriously and only want to offer something that runners will appreciate. We are pleased to offer short sleeve, men’s and women’s, Run-Dri Moisture System Transference Material made by Racetrackers. Runners must buy their shirt by May 15th, 2013, in order to be guaranteed the desired size on race day. Orders may be placed after this date, however sizes cannot be guaranteed – we will do our best to forecast the number of shirts needed between 5/15 and race day. Runners who purchase a shirt when they register must pick them up at one of the packet pickups and before 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 23, 2013. Those who purchase a shirt and do not claim it may request a refund. Shirt

s will be available for sale after the race starts while supplies last. Extra shirts may be purchased for $20 on race day and they’ll be shipped directly to an address after the race. Run Dri Running Caps

A high quality micro fiber, wicking, low profile running cap with mesh panels made by Racetrackers may be purchased separately for $10. Hats are only guaranteed if ordered by 5/15/13. After this date (and on race day) hats will be for sale while supplies last.
