started doing a few races last year and the novelty of commemorative t-shirts and medals is wearing a bit thin now. I'd rather not have them although I understand the importance of them to people who will only ever do one half or full marathon.
But for the 10k and 5milers, what's the point?
So what do you do with all yours?
Bin them
Wear them as PJ's
Decorate in them
Use them for cleaning rags
Any other suggestions?

Duck girl knows.
A local 5 miler that only has a couple of hundred competitors and is a low key event I don't see the point of a t-shirt but I do for a bigger distance.
I'd rather see lower entry fees than something to mark the occasion. Just my take on things
These events may be low key but they take a lot of hard work to put on so accept your t-shirt/medal with a smile, if you don't want it recycle it.
I have always fancied a T-shirt from some noddy 1mile fun run mind so I could wear it at a stupid distance ultra.
as i will never wear them
oh
apart from my
"the longest day"
t shirt
which i like
because it says all the triathlon stuff on the front, which makes people stare as i don't realy look like i could do a triathlon
and on the back it says
"CREW"
:-)
now i want to get a big woody one
if i can get there on time
:-)
All races are significant though.
I'm not belittling smaller events but after a few I'm not that bothered about them any more.
I know all about organising - I organise open time trials (cycling) when I'm not running so I'm not knocking organisers either and I help out at my cycling club's club time trials and road races each year too.
Back to the original question - what do you do with yours?
Thanks to corinth for entering into the spirit of the thread ;-)
or i'll wear it around the house, hardly ever wear it outside but then i'm not a tshirt kind of girl, i'm girly
Worst thing I ever was given was a photo of a tram after the Liverpool 10K... still not worked out the significance
At the risk of baiting DM and Coops... I like the Race for Life t-shirts (if any) because they do ordinary ones and fitted ones. If some of the race t-shirts were actually fitted I might wear them. However, that would be a complete admin nightmare and I'm only being silly now.
KK - commando challenge? They check for knickers?
