Nike Dri-Fit Race Shirts, in Men’s and Women’s Sizing
Very few races around the United States include premium Nike Dri-Fit shirts for their runners (they’re expensive).
But RunTheBluegrass is aiming to be the best half-marathon in the country, so get ready for some of the very best running gear around.
In 2012, we are also introducing Men’s and Women’s sizes, so our female runners can get their more fitted look!
(** This image is very close to our final design, but some tweaks are still being considered before March.)
