Personalized Custom Marathon Supporter Shirt with Kid Photo

This personalized marathon supporter shirt answers the question every stranger at the finish line asks: who are you here for? I’M HERE FOR runs across the top in tall white letters, her toddler photo fills the middle, and her name with 26.2 sits underneath.

It’s a custom photo tee for the people who’ve heard about this race for eight straight months.

Upload her toddler photo

What you type, and what we print

Select the style and size. Tee, long sleeve, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie.
Choose a shirt color for each person on the cheer squad.
Upload a childhood photo of the runner. The little girl in our listing is just a stand-in, and your runner’s picture replaces hers.
Enter her first name as it should print. We add the apostrophe and the s for you. Doing a half instead? Put 13.1 after a comma. Finished example: Sophia, 13.1 prints SOPHIA’S 13.1.

Who are you here for? This shirt answers that

Strangers at the finish keep asking who you’re there to cheer for
She’ll be too tired late in the race to read a small poster
Months of training deserve more than a quick hug at the end

Late in a marathon, a runner needs proof that someone came just for her. I’M HERE FOR in tall white letters, her toddler photo charging across the lawn in black and white, and her name with 26.2 along the bottom answer the question before anyone asks.

Why a toddler photo works so well here

Our sample is a tiny girl in a flowered dress and rain boots charging across a backyard lawn with both arms out, completely serious about it. Put that on a sidewalk at mile 22 and a grown woman will tear up mid-stride.

Look for the same kind of custom kid photo: a sprint across the park, a sack race at a birthday party, the summer she first outran the dog.

We tone it black and white so the lettering stays crisp, and any childhood photo where her face is clear will print well. Waist-up or head-and-shoulders in everyday clothes is the easiest crop.

Who orders the marathon supporter shirt?

Usually it’s her husband, who has driven her to every 5 a.m. long run and heard about this race for months. He wants the cheering squad at mile 22 to say exactly who they came for, and her parents are already digging out baby pictures.

Her husband

He’s done every early long-run drop-off, so wearing her rain-boots photo at mile 22 is his way of saying he noticed.

Her parents

They still keep those rain boots in a closet, which means they already know which toddler photo to send.

Her kids

Instead of holding a poster that bends in the wind, they get to wear Mom’s face and wave.

The running group

If the group is making a field trip of race weekend, everyone in the same shirt is easy to spot from the course.

The best friend with the cowbell

She’s been at every race since the first 5K, and now the cowbell comes with a matching shirt.

Questions from race-day families

Can two runners go on one shirt?

Not on this layout. It holds one photo and one name, so order a second shirt for the other runner.

Can it say 13.1 for a half marathon crew?

Yes. Type the name, a comma, then 13.1.

Could we print her favorite pro runner instead of her baby picture?

Sorry, no. Celebrities, famous athletes, rappers and other public figures are off our list, as are logos, brands, race marks and characters. Please send a picture your family owns. We cancel and refund any order that breaks this rule.

Garment choices

For warm race mornings, the Comfort Colors 1717 tee is garment-dyed, 6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun cotton and cut relaxed and unisex from S to 4XL.

A cold corral calls for the 1566 crewneck, 80% ring-spun cotton and 20% polyester fleece in S to 3XL, or the 1567 hoodie, garment-dyed and preshrunk with a jersey-lined hood, drawcord and front pouch, S to 2XL.

Fleece is true to size for a relaxed fit, or go up one or two sizes if you want it roomy. Measurements live on the size guide. Supporters who want sleeves can grab the 6014 long sleeve, S to 3XL.

Her kids can cheer in the 9018 youth tee, XS to XL, and the youngest marathon spectator gets the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie in 2T to 5/6T.

Production and delivery time

We print every runner supporter shirt to order by DTF or DTG depending on the garment, usually within 1 to 3 business days, and USPS delivers in 3 to 5 business days with tracking. More on timing is on our shipping page.

We can’t guarantee a date, so order with race week in mind.
