I like the Barrie RoadRunners shirts! Do you have anymore?

Unfortunately we order what you pay for. There is NO INVENTORY and NO PROFIT involved in the Barrie RoadRunners apparel orders or group activities.

Lots of folks have recently taken a greater interest or said they wished they got a tee AND long sleeve etc... Please continue to share this! With your feedback, effective decisions can be made on where we go next with future orders.

Be sure to check the Barrie RoadRunners blog and the Barrie RoadRunners team apparel blog frequently or subscribe for future updates. Here, we will try to keep all informed of what's happening.

:D Thanks!

If you ordered apparel (Aug-Sept 09) and have not received it yet...

This is a generic message to all of those who have yet to receive his/her Barrie RoadRunner apparel.

I left your shirt order at the RR store for you to pick up.

I originally did not wish to do so , but... Since we are now down to the last 28% of the orders I was convinced that this routine, similar to how race-kits have often been distributed, would be the most economic solution for all of us.

I hope this does not cause the RR staff any grief. Please pick yours up promptly and be sure to thank them for us!

Update: Barrie RoadRunner Shirts

With the early arrival of our new shipment of tees and singlets we have already managed to distribute 64% of the orders so far.

• Wed Oct 21st - I will be at the Barrie Running Room so, after the run, I will be prepared to hand out more to those who have yet to receive theirs.

NOTE: The individually marked bags also contain money from the price-break refund. It is because of this, AND due to the volume of orders placed, that I do not intend to leave orders at the Running Room. The wonderful RR staff already has a job ;-)

• WEEK OF THE 26th (REVISED DATE) - Anyone who ordered shirt(s) is also welcome to stop by and pick up your order at the full/half Toronto Marathon runners' clinic wrap-up . This is being co-ordinated by Catherine Harding and is TBA at this time. Email cath.harding@gmail.com for more details if you are not already on her extensive clinic mailing list.
  

Following this wave we'll see how many folks have yet to pick up

New shirts are here!

Sorry to those who have read through this already, same info I put on facebook pages and the Barrie RoadRunner site yesterday...
The new shirts were expected to arrive in time for the Niagara Falls International Half/Full Marathon held on Oct 25th. As fate would have it, THEY ARE HERE NOW! Out of consideration for the group of runners going to the Goodlife Toronto Half/Full Marathon I am working to have the shirts organized a full week ahead of schedule for distribution on race day Oct 18th. They too will have the opportunity to fly these new diggs if they so desire.

What you get: If you ordered a garment you will receive your ordered item(s) and an envelope containing your respective price-break refund (cash), all in a convenient bio-degradable bag that's yours to keep! ;-)

WHEN: Orders can be picked up on SUNDAY OCT 18th as follows;

• 6:00am @ Spiritcatcher parking lot (to accommodate Goodlife Toronto Half Marathon participants
• 6:30am @ Spiritcatcher parking lot (to accommodate Goodlife Toronto Marathon participants)

Not into getting up THAT early? No problem! Once our favourite contingent of Goodlife Toronto athletes heads south, I am going to take off for my own little run. After that the Running Room will be open and I will bring the remainder into the store to distribute (by about 9:15/9:30am). I expect to get away with this loitering til at least 10:30am!

Now, I know it is a little short-notice but I am sure you all understand when I say that I do it out of the interest of the patient members who purchased these items. If you are so unfortunate as to be unable to work with this schedule simply send me an email at blovett1@live.com and we'll work it out.

Thanks, and shirt or no shirt have a great run this weekend!

(so how many of you got hung up on the 'no shirt' remark :)
