The St. Jude Gift Shop has outdone themselves this year with a HUGE variety of St. Jude Memphis Marathon apparel and promotional products. Here is my detailed report:
Check out the awesomeness that is the Design-A-Wish 5k shirts this year. As someone who used to do logo work and do apparel design, these rock! You can get some cruddy shirts at some races, but I love the logo, placement and the modern/unique color choices for this one. Only wish it wasn’t on a white shirt (how many white t-shirts do we all have?), but I am sure white was what fit in the budget. Maybe next year do just a 2 color or 1 color imprint on a colored shirt?
The weather has gotten warmer and that can only mean one thing for ALL runners…My birthday. NO! New running shorts, of course!
Maybe your old shorts are too big (yay!) or too small (oh no! but that’s okay). Maybe the elastic has gotten stretched out or cracked over time. Maybe they’ve gotten rips or tears from shiggy trails. Maybe you need more because you only have 1 pair and let’s face it, your significant other is tired of washing them every other night. Or maybe you just want some new shorts in some stylish new colors!
I have a few commandments for my running shorts:
Now I’ve just got to find some shorts that fit all these commandments…
PS: Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!!!
Real Men Run for St. Jude Shirt
Love this shirt. Simple design, but really nice. Only regret is that it isn’t dri-fit. Bobby has a million cotton t-shirts and really doesn’t need another. I am serious – The stack of t-shirts is going to topple over and crush me one of these days.
Cost: $15
Buy it now!
Ladies Yellow Dri Fit Shirt
This ladies shirt has been in the store for awhile, but I’ve been eyeing it. About time I just bought it. Would be nice if it were offered in pink, though.
Cost: $18
Buy it now!
I *HEART* St. Jude Water Bottle
Cute new logo design that is also offered on several other new items as well!
Cost: $10
Buy it now!
These new St. Jude items from the ALSAC gift shop are great for runners! (and other athletes as well, I suppose, haha)
You can always visit the gift shop in person Monday-Saturday, 8:30am-4:30pm. Just tell the guard at the gate you are going to the gift shop – They’ll take a look at your driver’s license and write down your name, then give you a visitor’s parking pass for your car. It is inside the campus off of North Lauderdale – This map will help get you there.
