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 your captains 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 club hoodie, not the other brand

Why It Works

Curated for your runners. Zero guesswork.

We pick the season's best. You focus on what you do best.

Run Club Captain Reviews

Hear from run club captains and leaders running this today.

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

Mike R.

Run Club Captain · 75 runners

Q: DO THE TEES HOLD UP TO WEEKLY RUNS AND WASHES?

"Sunday long-run crew runs 10 miles in the same tee every week. The local print shop blanks pilled in three washes. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tees with our club logo screen-printed on the back, still look brand new after a full marathon training cycle. Runners keep reaching for the club tee on track Tuesdays. Free brand exposure every time a new runner shows up."

Jenna T.

Head Captain · 182 runners

Q: WHAT IF A NEW MEMBER JOINS AFTER THE BULK ORDER?

"Used to do a Google Form, pre-order 80 tees in three sizes, sort them into Ziploc bags. New runner shows up in October, no shirt for them until January. Now every new member gets the link on day one, picks their own size and color, run club hoodie ships to their door before their second Sunday."

Ryan K.

Club Director · 330 runners

Q: I LEAD A 200-PERSON RUN CLUB ON THE SIDE. WHO BUILDS THE STORE?

"Captain a 200-person Sunday run club on top of a full-time job. Never going to design every collection myself. Done-For-You plan built the whole shop. Sunday Long Run tees, anniversary hoodies, lightweight summer tanks, embroidered hats. I sent the club logo once. Runners thought we hired a brand agency."

Run Club Leader & Captain Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can I put our run club logo, city wordmark or chapter art on custom run club apparel?+

Yes. Every tee, tank, hoodie, crewneck, jogger and embroidered hat supports your run club logo, city wordmark, founding year, route names and chapter art on the front, back, sleeve or chest. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee. Build a real run club clothing brand around your crew identity, not a generic blank print job. Runners self-order their own size and color from your shop link.

Do you make race singlets, race bibs or specialty marathon kit?+

No. Race singlets, race bibs and competition marathon kit are specialty race-day gear you buy from a running specialty retailer. What we do best: club identity apparel for the runs your crew actually does every week. Run club t shirts, run club hoodies, lightweight tanks, joggers, crewnecks and embroidered ball caps. The stuff runners wear on Sunday long runs, post-run brunch, the gym, the bar and the office.

Can runners order their own custom run club shirts from anywhere in the city?+

That's the whole point. Drop your shop link in the run club group chat, the Strava club page, the Sunday-run signup email, your IG bio. Each runner checks out with their own size, color and shipping address. Run club apparel ships to each member's door free in about a week. You never run a sign-up sheet, collect Venmos at the trailhead, or mail tees from your apartment.

Can I run different drops for different routes, paces, sub-crews or anniversary years?+

Easy. Build a Sunday Long Run collection, a Track Tuesday collection, a Marathon Build collection, an anniversary drop, a city-themed drop, a sober run club section. Upload each design once, attach to as many items as you want, set the window each collection is live. Same shop, same dashboard, every collection under your run club brand.

Will the fabric actually breathe and hold up to weekly runs and washes?+

Yes. Premium athletic blanks. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tees and long-sleeves, Bella+Canvas triblends, Next Level cotton tees, Independent Trading Co. hoodies, Yupoong embroidered hats. Real athletic fabric, not the stiff cotton tee from the local print shop. Self-order a few samples at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink or Bonfire for run club merch. Why switch?+

Three reasons most clubs 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-and-done bulk drops. Ours is a permanent run club merch shop at your URL, ready for every new member, every chapter, every season.

Do I pay anything when a member orders? Is there a contract?+

Zero cost when a member orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit per item lands directly in your dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Most clubs start free, sell their first dozen shirts to the regulars, then upgrade to Self-Service VIP for lower base prices and bigger profit per item.
