Large runs
15,000 shirts in 90 days.
A road race is not a club of thirty players. It is thousands of race numbers, a date that does not move and a shirt everyone will put on the same morning. We do that.
Why a large run is a different craft
It is not the same job multiplied.
Making fifteen thousand garments is not making five hundred thirty times over. The planning changes, the quality control changes and so does what happens if something goes wrong halfway. So we treat it as what it is: a project with a delivery date, not an order.
A race is not postponed. The schedule is worked backwards from the day of the event, with room for the problems that always turn up.
Printing, sublimation, cutting and sewing in Beniparrell. Nobody subcontracts anything, so a problem is solved in the same building where it appeared.
At an open event people sign up with whatever size they want. Production follows the registrations by size, not equal parts.
Shirt number 1 and shirt number 15,000 have to be the same shirt. That control is the hard part of a long run, and it is where owning the factory shows.
Real case · Circuito DivinaSeguros, Seville
Fifteen thousand full-print shirts.
The Seville road race series commissioned the official shirt for all of its participants. All-over print, from seam to seam and right to the cuff, with the sponsors and the city council crest printed inside the fabric.
- 15,000 shirts with all-over print.
- 90 days from the order to having them ready.
- Full-bleed design: the gradient carries on along the sleeve, with no boxes or patches.
- Made entirely at our plant in Beniparrell.
What kind of event
If it is run en masse, it is worn en masse.
Road races, multi-event series, marathons and half marathons, charity walks, open water swims, trail, triathlons and any mass participation sporting event that hands out a shirt with the entry.
The one everyone takes home. Technical, sublimated and with every sponsor inside the fabric, at no extra cost per colour.
Volunteers, course marshals and timing crew, with a separate graphic line so they stand out from a distance.
The keepsake garment sold at the runners’ expo, with a different finish from the race shirt.
We keep the design and the pattern. Next year’s edition starts from what is already made and approved.
How it is organised
Talk to us before you open registration.
The lead time for a large run is measured in months, not weeks. The sooner the design is closed, the more room there is to produce calmly and to absorb a setback without touching the date of the race.
- You tell us the date of the event and an estimate of participants.
- We prepare the design with whichever sponsors you have confirmed.
- A physical sample is approved before the full production is launched.
- Shirts are made by size as the registrations come in.
