VERY IMPORTANT – THE STORE WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR ONLY TWO WEEKS It’s that time of year again – cooler temps, beautiful morning runs, bursting fall colors all around and yes, the approaching marathon you’ve been training for during those hot summer days. Fall also signals the opening of the on-line TRRC gear store, an opportunity that comes around twice a year for you to get your own team gear. And this time we’re offering something completely different — new colors for some of our technical shirts and the addition of those super soft long sleeve cotton blend shirts that are great for the gym or napping after a run. The custom-made Taconic singlets are also available in two different designs (sublimated, not screen printed so no inky stiffness to the shirt). We’ve also added fleece full zip jackets to our selection this year with custom embroidered club name on chest and motto under rear neckline. Important “fine print”: 1. The online store will close on Monday, October 19th @ 11:59 p.m. 2. All orders will begin to be processed after the store closing date. 3. Apparel orders (excluding custom singlets) take about 4 weeks to ship after store closes. 4. Custom singlets take 5-6 weeks to ship from New Balance. Members who order over $150 in merch willl get a free entry into a TRR race. Here’s the link to the store which will go live on October 5th: https://metroteamsports.chipply.com/tacroadrunners2026/store.html?eid=628876&action=viewall Please don’t miss this opportunity to get the apparel you’ve seen on other club members. Once the store closes these items will not be available until the next store opening. Questions? Email nancy@runner.org or gd@runner.org
FAQs Is the club making some profit from the sale of this stuff?
No – The club is not making any money from the sale of Taconic gear. Unlike what some other clubs/teams are doing, we chose to make team gear items available at a reduced price, rather than up-charging and putting that money in the club’s coffers. What if the items I order don’t fit or I don’t care for them?
We elected to use an e-commerce site for sales so no one club member or Board member would be responsible for keeping a stock of items in their home waiting for buyers. ALL ITEMS ARE CUSTOM AND CANNOT BE RETURNED. Please look at the sizing charts for each item OR speak to any member or Board member who purchased items before placing your order. In speaking with other clubs using an e-commerce site their experience has been that members end up swapping/selling their clothes to other members if the fit is off. When will I receive my order?
Per our e-commerce vendor – your items will be mailed 4-6 weeks after the store closes. Will the screen printing/embroidery appear as it’s shown on the e-commerce site?
Yes and no – once the store is closed, the graphics will be finalized including the exact location on the article of clothing. Nothing will be moved in a major way (i.e. – if print appears on the back it’ll remain on the back) but we’ll work to make sure it looks the way we expect before it’s approved.
