Race-day singlets, finisher shirts, pacer bibs, and event merchandise - sublimated in full color, sized for full marathon rosters, delivered nationwide with a 14-21 day production window. Built for race directors, club captains, and event coordinators who need bulk orders that hold up at km 32.
Photographic-quality full-color prints that never crack, peel, or fade. Edge-to-edge graphics on every race-day singlet and tee - holds up through sweat, salt, and 50 washes.
Production runs from 50 to 5,000 pieces per design in a single batch. Same fabric lot, same color batch, same print cycle - no size-run inconsistency across your roster.
Standard production runs ship in 14-21 days from artwork approval. Express turnaround (7-10 days) is available for confirmed race dates. Plan backwards from your race day.
Every order is tagged with your event date in our system. We back-solve from race day minus your preferred buffer (typically 7 days) to set the artwork approval deadline.
Five categories cover most marathon-weekend apparel needs. Most race directors order two or three types together - race-day singlet for participants, finisher tee for finishers, and event merchandise tee for spectators and post-race parties.
Lightweight sleeveless sublimation singlet designed for marathons. Mesh side panels, moisture-wicking polyester, edge-to-edge print. Standard chest area left clear for race bib.
Short-sleeve tee alternative for cooler race mornings, evening runs, or runners who prefer more coverage. Same sublimation print capability as the singlet.
Wearable commemoration for finishers. Print the race date, distance, and city on the back; sponsor logos on the front. Often ordered as a separate SKU handed out at the finish line.
Split shorts and 5-inch inseam running shorts with sublimated team colors and sponsor logos. Side pockets for gels. Often ordered with matching race-day singlets.
Reflective safety vests for race marshals, pacers, medical crew, and volunteer staff. High-visibility yellow or orange with reflective stripes; logo placement on chest.
Sold at the expo and post-race village for spectators, family members, and supporters who didn't run. Lower MOQ friendly, cotton-feel fabric, race-themed graphics.
The biggest mistake race directors make is over-ordering large sizes and under-ordering small. Marathon rosters skew more diverse than half-marathon or 10K rosters. Use the table below as a starting point for adult race-day orders, then refine based on your registration data.
| Size | % of order (typical marathon) | Pieces per 1,000 | Fit notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 5% | 50 | Limited demand - mostly women runners under 5'4" |
| S | 15% | 150 | Women's most common size |
| M | 30% | 300 | Men's most common size |
| L | 25% | 250 | Second most common men's size |
| XL | 15% | 150 | Common for taller runners |
| 2XL | 7% | 70 | Always order - sold-out 2XL is the top complaint |
| 3XL | 3% | 30 | Smallest order but most appreciated |
Refine with your registration data: The table above is a starting point. Share your registration size breakdown with us (export from your race platform) and we'll recalibrate the size run for your specific event. Most races see 60% men's + 40% women's cuts; ultra-distance events skew heavier on men's sizes; night marathons skew heavier on women's.
Six design decisions that prevent the most common race-day mistakes. Skip any of these and you'll either lose a sponsor placement or have to re-run a print batch.
Leave a blank chest area (roughly 7" x 7") on the race-day singlet for the bib. If the bib covers your logo or sponsor lockup, the photographer's photos won't show your branding. We add a subtle placeholder box to your mockup so the team can see exactly where the bib will land.
"2026 City Marathon 42K" needs to be readable from the photographer's lens at the finish line. Back-print is the convention: city + race logo + distance on the upper back, race date + sponsors on the lower back.
Title sponsor goes on the chest. Tier-2 sponsors go on the back (left chest, right chest, sleeves). Reserve a fixed-area placement grid so each sponsor gets equal visibility regardless of size.
Race-day participants in one color, pacers in another, medical crew in a third, volunteers in a fourth. Same design language, different dominant color. Volunteers and pacers are typically ordered at no cost (give-aways), so order separately from the paid participant batch.
Artwork needs to be locked 30 days before production. Production is 14-21 days. Delivery + pack-out is 3-5 days. So artwork deadline is 47-56 days before race day. Work backwards from your race date.
Most race directors build a 5% overage in the largest sizes for size-swap requests at the expo packet pickup. We've seen races swap 8-12% of sizes at packet pickup - overage pays for itself in avoided refunds.
Work backwards from your race date. Every order follows the same five-stage workflow - artwork approval, fabric sourcing, printing, finishing, and delivery.
Mockup v3 signed off. Logo placements locked. Sponsor grid finalised. Artwork goes into production queue. Last chance to change design without rush fee.
Fabric ordered, sublimation paper printed, production cut and sewn. For orders over 500 pieces, fabric is sourced at the bulk-mill level. For 50-500 piece orders, fabric is held in our regional stock.
First-piece samples pulled for color, print, and stitching QC. Photos sent to race director for sign-off before bulk run continues.
All units printed, finished, and bagged. Final QC pass. Pack-out per sponsor / per team / per size run. Packing list generated.
Bulk delivery to the race expo or staging warehouse. For Manila-based races, same-day or next-day delivery. For provincial races (Cebu, Clark, Davao, Iloilo), 2-3 days via logistics partner.
Singlets distributed at packet pickup. Pacer bibs and marshal vests handed out at crew briefing. Finisher tees handed out at finish line or mailed post-race.
Express turnaround (7-10 days): Available for confirmed race dates with a 25-35% rush fee. Rush orders skip the first-sample inspection stage and go straight to bulk production with spot-checks at the 10% and 50% completion marks.
Indicative price ranges for full-sublimation race-day shirts. Final pricing depends on fabric weight, garment cut, sponsor placement complexity, and delivery location. All prices in PHP, ex-VAT, ex-delivery.

Specific questions race directors and event coordinators ask when planning a bulk marathon shirt order. For framework or general apparel questions, see the contact page.
50 pieces per design for race-day singlets, race-day tees, race shorts, and event merchandise tees. 25 pieces per design for hi-vis marshal and pacer vests. 100 pieces for finisher tees (the cotton-feel fabric has higher minimums from the mill).
Standard production is 14-21 days from artwork approval. For 500 pieces, the production line usually runs 18 days. Add 3-5 days for packing and delivery. Plan to lock artwork at D-50 for a D-0 race date.
Yes. Sublimation print handles full-color sponsor logos with photographic quality. We typically reserve chest (title sponsor), upper back (race logo + distance), lower back (tier-2 sponsors), and sleeves (tier-3 sponsors) as fixed placement zones. Share your sponsor tier list and we'll lay them out in a sponsor placement grid.
Yes. Most marathon orders include both men's and women's cuts, sized separately. We ship them pre-sorted per size run per gender, ready for race packet distribution. Standard cuts: men's athletic fit, women's contoured fit, unisex relaxed fit.
Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) preferred for logos and text. Raster photos (PNG, JPG) at 300 DPI minimum for photographic elements. We provide a template file with the printable area marked and a sponsor placement grid. Submit artwork via WeTransfer or Google Drive link.
Yes. For Luzon races (Clark, Subic, Baguio, La Union) we deliver via 2-day logistics. For Visayas and Mindanao races (Cebu, Iloilo, Davao, Cagayan de Oro) we deliver via 3-day logistics. Delivery is quoted separately per order based on destination and volume.
Yes - and most race directors do. We batch the order into a single production cycle with shared artwork approval, which keeps the sponsor placement consistent across both shirt types. Order the race-day singlet for participants first (lower total count, more conservative design); then add the finisher tee as a second SKU in the same cycle.
Sublimation prints the design into the fabric using heat and pressure (the dye becomes part of the polyester fiber). Result: zero texture, no cracking, no peeling, no fading. Screen printing lays ink on top of the fabric. Result: a printed layer that cracks and peels after 20-50 washes. For marathon race-day use, sublimation is the standard.
Send your race date, shirt type (singlet / tee / finisher / shorts / vest), quantity estimate, and any sponsor placement requirements. We'll respond with a quote, mockup timeline, and production schedule that back-solves from your race day.
