Side by Side

Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way

$2K to $5K

Bulk-Order Gamble

Inventory from past orders still in your office
XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
Pieces go missing. You give the rest away

Your Pro Shop

$0 UPFRONT

No Inventory Ever

Member orders one, we print one
Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin

Old Way

3 WEEKS

To Reorder Anything

24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
Charged per color, per placement, per design
Sold out of sizes or colors runners want
Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks

Your Pro Shop

~1 WEEK

Door to Door

No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
Unlimited colors, designs, placements
Runners pick size and color at checkout
USA printed and shipped free to their door

Old Way

2 WASHES

Until It's Cardboard

Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
Runners stop wearing it
You and the coaches reach for other brands

Your Pro Shop

50+ WASHES

Still Soft

Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
Coaches reach for the group hoodie, not the other brand

Coach & Captain Reviews

Hear from marathon coaches and training-group captains running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the groupes already running their apparel through us.

Mike R.

Group Coach · 75 runners

Q: DO MOISTURE-WICKING TRAINING TEES HOLD UP THROUGH A SIXTEEN-WEEK MARATHON BUILD?

"Coach a training group of forty marathoners, twice-weekly track plus Sunday long run. Used to bulk-print training tees that pilled by week eight of a sixteen-week build. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tees and Champion hoodies through the Pro Shop. Group wore the long-sleeve through summer humidity, the training-group hoodie at every pre-dawn meetup. Print still sharp, fabric still pulling sweat at mile twenty."

Jenna T.

Marathon Coach · 182 runners

Q: A NEW RUNNER JOINED MID-CYCLE AND I NEED A WOMENS XS.

"Marathon training groups add new runners every cycle, especially after the spring half-marathon. Used to over-order on bulk training tees and end up with six adult mediums nobody wanted. Now every runner picks their own size and color from the link. Late additions still get their training tee to the door in a week. No size scrambling at the next Saturday long run."

Ryan K.

Training Club Director · 330 runners

Q: I COACH THE GROUP, I PACE TWO RUNNERS AND I WORK A DAY JOB. WHO BUILDS THIS?

"Training group coach, pacing two friends to a Boston-qualifier, day job in physical therapy. Done-For-You plan built the entire group store: training tees, long-sleeves, taper-week gear, training-group hoodies, finisher tees, pacer hats. I send the group logo once a month, they swap collections for spring half-build, summer marathon block and fall race season. Group netted $2,200 in profit our first marathon cycle, funded the post-race brunch outright."

Coach & Training Group Captain Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can we print our marathon training group logo, mileage callouts and race-day art on custom marathon training apparel?+

Yes. Every tee, long-sleeve, hoodie, sweatshirt and embroidered hat supports your training group logo, founding year, distance callouts (5K build, half-marathon block, full marathon cycle), Boston-qualifier callouts and pace-group art. Marathon training shirts, marathon training t shirts, marathon training clothes, marathon training gear, marathon training apparel, all on one shop. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee.

Do you make race vests, hydration packs, running shoes, GPS watches or compression gear?+

No. Race vests, hydration packs, running shoes, GPS watches, gaiters and compression sleeves are specialty marathon training gear. Specialty run brands handle that side. What we do best: the apparel side of the group. Marathon training shirts, moisture-wicking long-sleeves, training-group hoodies, taper-week tees, race-recap tees, finisher hoodies and embroidered training-group hats. The branded gear runners wear at every long run, every track workout and every race-weekend hotel.

Do you offer moisture-wicking tees, long-sleeves and ladies racerback tanks for hot-summer training?+

Yes. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tees and long-sleeves, Bella+Canvas premium cotton tees, women's premium triblend racerback tanks, women's flowy scoop muscle tanks, Champion hoodies, embroidered Yupoong and Richardson hats. Sizes from youth through adult 3XL. Build a Marathoners, Half-Marathoners, Pacers, Coaches and Alumni section in one training-group store. Same retail logic. you set the markup per item.

Can runners order marathon training shirts and t shirts directly from the group shop?+

That's the whole point. Drop your training-group shop link in the group chat, the Strava club page, the Sunday-long-run email or pin it in the training-group Instagram bio. Runners, pacers and coaches check out themselves with their size and color. Marathon training apparel, marathon training accessories and marathon training gear essentials ship to their door free in about a week. You never run a Venmo collection at the Saturday meetup again.

Will moisture-wicking training tees and long-sleeves hold up after sixteen weeks of training, sun and weekly washes?+

Yes. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking, Bella+Canvas, Next Level, Champion, Independent Trading Co. Real running-grade fabrics, not the stiff cotton tee from a generic marathon training equipment store. Runners wear them through heat-wave long runs, taper-week shakeouts, race-morning lineups and weekly washes. Print still sharp. Pull samples from your dashboard at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink or Bonfire for marathon training group apparel. Why switch?+

Three reasons most marathon training groups switch within a month. Shipping: theirs charges $8 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per design. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors. Permanence: theirs is one-time campaign ordering. Ours is a permanent marathon training group store at your URL year-round, ready for spring half-marathon build, summer marathon cycle, fall race season and Boston-marathon weekend.

Do I pay anything when a runner orders? What about coach polos and pacer gear?+

Zero cost when a runner orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit lands directly in the training-group dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For coach polos, pacer hats and aid-station volunteer shirts, build a Coaches & Pacers section and self-order at base price. Watch every order land in real time on your phone between long runs.
