Two Kinds of Race-Day Orders
Are you running the event—or running in it?
A race director ordering 800 participant shirts has a very different project from a company ordering 35 matching shirts for its Bridge Run team. We build the quote around the job you're actually trying to do.
Make your crew easy to spot in the crowd.
Matching shirts for corporate teams, charities, run clubs, families, memorial groups, nonprofits and friends taking on Charleston's biggest race weekends together.

One Race. A Lot of Shirts.
Build the apparel around every part of race day.
Runner + Walker Shirts
Commemorative cotton, blended or performance apparel for registered participants and race-day athletes.
Volunteer Shirts
Make volunteers easy to identify at check-in, water stations, packet pickup, course support and finish areas.
Race Crew + Committee
Separate staff, organizer or committee apparel from participant shirts while keeping the event branding consistent.
Sponsor + Partner Shirts
Build sponsor visibility into the shirt plan using appropriate front, back or sleeve placements.
Company Race Teams
Matching shirts for employee wellness programs, company teams, client groups and Charleston Bridge Run weekends.
Cause + Fundraising Teams
Custom apparel for nonprofits, memorial teams, awareness campaigns and groups running or walking for a cause.
Running Clubs
Event-specific shirts, club gear and race-weekend apparel for local running communities.
Race Merchandise
Add premium tees, hats or other branded merchandise when your event has an expo, merch table or supporter audience.
Choose the Right Race Shirt
The cheapest blank isn't always the cheapest decision.
A race shirt can be a uniform, sponsor asset, participant benefit and walking advertisement at the same time. We'll help balance comfort, performance, budget and the likelihood that people keep wearing it.
Moisture-Wicking Tees
A natural fit for races and running teams that want lightweight, athletic apparel designed around movement.
Blended + Retail-Feel Tees
A softer option for participants, volunteers and teams who prioritize everyday wear after the race is over.
Budget-Friendly Race Shirts
Useful for large participant counts, volunteer teams and events where per-piece economics matter heavily.
Premium Event Apparel
Higher-end tees, sweatshirts or merchandise for VIPs, fundraising teams, retail programs and commemorative drops.
Sponsor Logos Without the Chaos
Plan the shirt before twelve logos show up Friday afternoon.
Race shirts often need to carry the event identity and recognize sponsors at the same time. Send us the logo list early so we can think through print locations, sizing, number of colors and how the sponsor block will reproduce on the selected garment.
Front, back and sleeve decoration can all affect production and pricing. The earlier those details are confirmed, the cleaner the project is likely to run.

01
Tell us about the event.
Race date, estimated quantity, audience, shirt type, artwork, sponsor needs, budget and in-hands deadline.
02
Choose the shirt + decoration plan.
We'll help narrow garment options and determine the print approach based on quantity, artwork and intended use.
03
Lock the artwork.
Finalize event art, sponsor logos, print locations and colors, then review your digital proof before production.
04
Confirm quantities + sizes.
Provide the final breakdown according to the agreed production timeline so the order can move forward cleanly.
05
We produce the order.
Once approved and scheduled, your race shirts move into production based on the quoted project specifications.
06
Race day gets easier.
Participant, staff, volunteer and team apparel arrives according to the agreed delivery or pickup plan.
Race Directors + Event Organizers
Don't source every race-day item from a different vendor.
Participant shirts may be the biggest order, but they're rarely the only branded need. Palmetto Blended can also help with volunteer apparel, staff shirts, embroidered hats, sponsor merchandise and promotional products for packet pickup, expos and race day.
That gives your committee one local partner for more of the branded pieces surrounding the event.
Event-Wide Branding
One race. More than one shirt order.
Participant apparel, volunteer identification, committee shirts, sponsor gifts, hats, bags and promotional products can be planned together instead of treated as unrelated purchases.

Beyond the Race Shirt
Build more of the event around one visual identity.
Hats + Caps
Great for race staff, committees, sponsors, volunteers, running clubs and premium merchandise.
Promotional Products
Consider bags, towels, drinkware and other branded pieces for registration, sponsors, finish areas or event partners.
Polos + Outerwear
Give leadership, committee members and sponsors an elevated apparel option separate from participant shirts.
Team + Cause Merch
Charity teams and organizations can also ask about apparel fundraising stores for supporter merchandise.

Palmetto Blended is a Charleston-area custom apparel company that can help race organizers, companies, charities, clubs and community groups with custom race shirts, 5K apparel, volunteer shirts, team shirts and related branded merchandise.
Do you print shirts for Cooper River Bridge Run teams?
Yes. We can create custom shirts for independent corporate teams, charities, clubs, families and other groups participating in the Cooper River Bridge Run. Palmetto Blended is not represented here as the official merchandise provider or an event sponsor, so artwork should not imply official event affiliation unless you have authorization to use protected event branding.
Can you print shirts for an entire 5K or charity race?
Yes. We can work with race organizers on participant shirts, volunteer apparel, staff shirts, committee gear and other branded items. Send us the race date, estimated quantity, artwork, sponsor requirements and required delivery date so we can help scope the project.
What is the minimum order for custom race shirts?
Our standard screen printing and embroidery projects typically begin at 24 pieces per design. Product-specific minimums and production requirements may apply. If you have a smaller team, send us your quantity, artwork and required date and we'll let you know what options may be available.
What kind of shirts are best for a 5K or running event?
The right shirt depends on your budget, climate, audience and whether people will race in the shirt or wear it mainly as commemorative apparel. We can help compare moisture-wicking performance tees, lightweight blends, standard cotton options and more premium retail-feel garments.
Can you print sponsor logos on the back or sleeves?
Yes, depending on the garment, artwork and production method. Additional print locations can affect pricing and setup, so send sponsor logos early and let us know where you want them displayed before the order is finalized.
Can participant, volunteer and staff shirts be different colors?
Yes. Many events use color to help distinguish participants, volunteers, staff or committees. The exact options depend on garment availability, artwork and how the order is structured.
Can you help with race shirt artwork and sponsor logo layout?
Yes. Send your event logo, sponsor files, race theme, existing artwork or concept. If files need cleanup, vector conversion or additional design work before production, we'll explain what is required.
Will we receive a proof before race shirts are printed?
Yes. A digital proof is provided before production so you can review the artwork, print placement and project details before the approved order is made.
How early should we order shirts before our race?
As early as reasonably possible. Race shirts often involve final registration counts, sponsor artwork, multiple print locations and a firm event date. Give us both the race date and the date you need the shirts in hand when requesting your quote so we can recommend a realistic production schedule.
Can you provide hats, bags or giveaways for a race too?
Yes. Palmetto Blended also offers embroidery and promotional products, so race organizers can ask about hats, bags, towels, drinkware and other branded items in addition to participant and volunteer shirts.
Can a charity team sell shirts as a fundraiser?
Potentially. For qualifying campaigns, Palmetto Blended can discuss an online Fundraising Store where supporters purchase approved apparel or merchandise and the agreed fundraising proceeds benefit the organization.
Race Date on the Calendar?
Send us the date, headcount and artwork. We'll help with the shirts.
Whether you're organizing a Charleston 5K, building a corporate Bridge Run team or raising money through a charity race, we'll help identify the apparel, decoration and ordering approach that fits the project.
Cooper River Bridge Run is referenced only to describe custom apparel for independent teams and groups participating in the event. Palmetto Blended is not represented here as the official merchandise provider or an event sponsor.
