Christian running apparel

Looking to find a company that sells technical, running shirts with Bible scriptures on it or inspirational quotes that are Bible-based. I'm hoping to use my marathon as a witness opportunity. Thanks for any help!!!

you know what ? you may be on to something there,but it sounds like if you can't find it you will have to make it, any goodscreenprint shop will help you come up with a design and scripture that you want, a little investment and work out a deal with a few religous stores and you can spread the word ! in my first mile i struggle with the fact that i am a sinner and the seven deadly sins that i have subjected my body to and as the miles go by i think of my ways that i better myself and help others for whatever cause i am running for that day !
Keep the faith

Thanks Gerry for the encouragement as well. I have a friend with a screen printing business who will print graphics on a tech shirt if need be (the sin of laziness triggers me to just want to find one ready made). I like your mental strategy when running. I'm gonna do that too. Take care and God bless!

When I ran the Richmond marathon 2 mos ago, I was amazed by how many other runners I saw with Bible verses on their caps, as well as written on their heads and arms. IMHO, I would suggest saving yourself a few bucks and just writing a verse on a white racing shirt or white running cap. In fact, I ended up running the first 15 miles of it talking with a guy who had a verse from Psalms on his cap-man those miles flew. I just might do the same when I run Shamrock/VA Beach in March.......Run Well, Robert

wick51, I checked out that site. thanks for that.


Robert, That's a good idea too that way I can watch the weather and decide which shirt at the last minute. You never know the weather out here in Va Beach (today it's in the 70s then later in the week we'll be pushing for 40). I'm actually running Shamrock too. It's going to be my first marathon and I'm sooo excited. Thanks much, Dana

It's ironic that your post has an add for Brittney Spears with her "see through" top off to the left...

I have seen a few myself at other marathons. I would try Google. You're bound to find something.

When I ran the Carlsbad 1/2 a couple years ago there was a t-shirt booth at the expo selling inspirational shirts. But it was pretty much just a mom&pop operation, and they are not back this year. But I was truly amazed at how many people responded with encouragement to my t-shirt during the race. It was inspirational to them, but it also was very encouraging to me as well.

I did find this t-shirt on a related site. www.impulsetshirts.com[/URL" target="_blank">

Look under sports and then running, there is a shirt with a quote from Isaiah.
