Personalized Custom Marathon Support Crew Shirt with Photo

Our personalized custom marathon support crew shirt turns your runner’s childhood photo into a sign they can spot from the course. TEAM and their first name stand tall in antique gold over a big black and white kid picture, and 26.2 MILES runs underneath.

Make one for every person on the sidewalk and the whole crew wears the same face.

Upload their kid photo

Who wears the marathon crew shirt?

Most of the time it’s the runner’s spouse organizing the sidewalk crew: the kids, the in-laws and a couple of friends with signs. She’s tired of waving at the wrong runner around mile 20 and wants a shirt the runner can spot from the course.

The runner’s spouse

She’s coordinating the kids and the cooler, so matching shirts mean nobody gets lost near the finish chute.

Parents flying in for the race

They have the childhood photos already, which makes them the right people to pick which kid picture goes on.

The running club

If a clubmate is running their first 26.2, the club can turn race morning into a supporter team outing.

Grandpa in the camp chair

He’s parked near the finish all morning, and the crewneck keeps him warm through a cold start.

The sister who paced the long run

She did the miles in training, so she gets her own shirt to prove she was part of it.

Friends on a half marathon crew

Typing 13.1 after the name switches the bottom line, which means the same design works for a half.

Start the support crew set

The runner can get one too. Plenty of families tuck an extra into the post-race bag as a gift for runner who already owns every gel flavor.

The design up close

Our sample shows a sweaty little boy with wet hair and a paper bib pinned to his tank top, laughing like he just won the school fun run.

That’s the energy to aim for with your custom runner photo: field day ribbons, a gap-toothed soccer picture, the kid who sprinted everywhere. We tone it black and white and set it large between the two lines of gold type.

When they see it around mile 20, expect a laugh or a few tears.

Ordering for the whole crew

Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck, hoodie, youth tee or toddler hoodie and a size for each person in your group.
Pick a shirt color. Everyone can match, or mix colors so kids are easy to find in a crowd.
Upload the runner’s childhood photo. The boy in our listing is a placeholder, and your runner replaces him.
Type the first name. Running a half? Add 13.1 after the name and the bottom line becomes 13.1 MILES. Finished example: Jake, 13.1.

Why a kid photo is the best race-day sign

Thousands of runners pass by, and supporters still miss the one they came for
Handmade signs bend in the wind and end up in a trash can at the finish
Race-day crews show up in random jackets and lose each other in the crowd

A runner in the late miles needs one face in the crowd to grin at. TEAM and the runner’s first name stand tall in antique gold over a big black and white childhood photo, with 26.2 MILES underneath, so the whole crew wears the same kid.

One photo can go on every marathon team shirt in the order. Upload it on each item so each print matches.

Marathon support crew shirt FAQ

Can the bottom line say 13.1 MILES instead?

Yes. Type the name, a comma, then 13.1, and we print 13.1 MILES under the photo.

Do we need a childhood photo, or can it be a recent one?

A kid photo is the joke here, but a recent clear photo of the runner prints just as well.

Can we use a photo of the runner with a famous marathoner?

No. We leave out celebrities, famous athletes, rappers and public figures, along with race logos, sponsor brands, team marks and cartoon characters. Send family photos you own. An order with any of those gets canceled and refunded in full.
