I have endless shirts and more beer pints and mugs than I care to admit. What items have you enjoyed other than that? I got to build a bear after a race and that was a cool experience.
What’s your favorite swag that wasn’t a cup or shirt from a race?
DiscussionA really nice sweatshirt
Others
Socks
Winter Hats
A backpack
Frozen apple pies to bake at home
...frozen apple pie... ....at a road race... ...to bake at home
Did they hand it to you at the finish line with your medal? Was there a freezer involved? Did you have your backpack & sweatshirt with you to MacGyver up a makeshift cooler for your new pie?
So many questions.
There was a table where you could go to show your number and pick up the pie. They had a big freezer truck at the race. It was in New England, so it was rather cool outside.
The backpack and sweatshirt were from other races, but I'll keep that strategy in mind the next time I do a race with that kind of SWAG. Using SWAG to carry SWAG home would be meta
OK - so the pie was opt-in... that makes more sense.
Meta-SWAG is now on my race day TODO list, TY for that- but the real Meta-win here would be a pie chart of pie-takers & non-pie-takers with a crust border 😀
