Women's shirts are fitted and run small; men's are generously sized. Registrations 2 weeks or less from event will receive shirt in the mail 3-4 weeks after race and are not guaranteed requested shirt size; if the requested size is unavailable, the next available size most closely matching the requested size will be substituted.
