Shirt Description

All registered participants will receive this super soft, tri-blend wicking 1/4 zip pullover!

Shirt Fitting Events

Get your proper fit! We will hold shirt fittings at RunnersPlus (8970 Kingsridge Drive, Dayton, Ohio 45458) on the following dates! We will have samples of each size available for you to try on to be sure you order the correct size.

  • Saturday, September 25 from 12-2 pm

Shirt Exchanges

At packet pick-up, if you get a shirt that doesn't fit well, bring it, unworn, to the late registration booth and we'll gladly exchange it if we have your desired size among those set aside for late registrants. Please know that we cannot exchange away a shirt-size promised to another early registrant, and even though we order extra, it's imperative for us to make sure everyone gets the size they ordered before we swap.

Please note: individuals at our shirt fittings have felt that these shirts are running a little large this year, so take that into account when you're selecting shirt sizes! -- The ORRRC Miamisburg Turkey Trot Team
