At the Green Bay Half Marathon Expo a few weeks ago, there was a booth selling official USA Track and Field gear. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the shirt I wanted in my size, but they gave me a coupon for free shipping from their online store (www.usatf.org/store). So I ordered it online and it came yesterday.
I love it.
Almost all my running tops are dry-fit shirts that came in the “goodie bag” from races. But it’s nice to have something other than a race shirt to run in. And what’s better than going out for a run wearing a shirt with “USA Track & Field” on the back? Especially in an Olympic year! And let’s be honest here: this is the only way I’m ever going to get to wear USA Olympic team gear. So while I won’t be settling into the starting blocks in London (or even watching from the stands in London), I can show my support for Team USA all summer on my lakefront runs.
I was surprised at the amount of items available in the USATF’s store. There’s a lot of apparel here, and most of it is very cool. Some of the items are a bit on the expensive side, but there is a lot of options on sale/clearance. The USATF online store is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for some unique running gear and a chance to support Team USA!
USA! USA! USA!
