Ouch. And I thought the CMM's t-shirts were bad.

Is it really too much to expect a decent shirt when you pay those enormous entry fees? I expect this crap at a 5-k. At a marathon it's just not right.

And that shirt is really, really not right. I don't think "ugly" quite captures it.

This one is pretty bad. Prime example of a typical 5k shirt.

BPR means Bear Pack Run.

    The tragedy is that Pig usually has THE BEST shirts. With a BIG PIG logo on them. Cool. Kitsch.

    Not this year.

    Sheesh.

    What is up with "get your feet revvin"?!?

    Just give me a PIG. How hard is that?

    More importantly, what is a "full" marathon. Is that when a race has reached its entry limit?

    Funny. I've caught myself about to say "full" marathon to people, only because I know there is such a thing as a half marathon. For non-runners I've had to explain the miles, but I'm careful not to say the word full.

    Hmmm...last year's Coast Guard Fest 5k/10k shirts were lame. I'll have to take a picture of it. I could design a better shirt and I'm not paid to do it. I want to run the Sheboygan (Johnsonville) Brat Trot (4 miles) just to get the shirt. The logo is a bratwurst with a chef's hat, which just cracks me up. It's like a cannibal bratwurst.

    ok, those are pretty ugly! Tongue

    years ago, dh and I did several sri chimnoy events and there's always some mumbo jumbo gibberish nonesense written on it somewhere. I think you have to be stoned enlightened to appreciate it.

    I don't know who they are, but I hate having their picture covering my entire chest. It's the only shirt that I won't wear.
