Don't wear the race shirt until after the race

Printer friendly version Posted on: Thursday October 07 05:17:59 PM

Those who know me well, know that I do not approve of wearing the race shirt until AFTER you have completed the race. Don't worry Ginny, I still love you!

So, I get the update email today for the Goodlife marathon and what di I see? A proposition to wear the shirt during the race! What? yes, here is is as it reads in the email:

Win a Karbon Training Jacket - value $100!
Be spotted in your Karbon GoodLife Fitness Toronto Marathon tech shirt as you cross the finish line, and you could win a great Karbon Training jacket!


Oh my, this will lead to more and more people breaking the cardinal rule of event shirts!

I've never had a rule like that for myself although I don't ever wear the race shirt to the race itself.

I saw that too! When I was a relatively new runner, I did that once or twice for short races. I've since learned the error of my ways :)

Wow, there sure were a lot of shirts out there. I guess the Toronto Marathon's plea and offer of a prize worked out for them.

On that note, it is a decent shirt this year!

P.S> Good job MK!
