Club Jackets

The club is currently taking orders for new club jackets. The jackets are pretty similar to our current jackets and will also include the club logo on the front and Sunflower Striders Running Club on the back. Cost should be between $35 and $40, depending on quantity ordered.

Brad Rhoden has sample sizes of small, medium, and large (XL is also available) of this jacket and he or another board member will have them available to try on at group runs until mid-May. We will place a one-time order shortly after that time. The Trainer Warm-up jackets will be purchased through GTM and can be viewed on the team side at the GTM (former Great Plains Running Co.) location. If you are unable to view/try on the jacket in person and you definitely want one, contact Brad with name, size, and phone number or if you have questions.
