CLR Gear Will Be For Sale All Weekend

by CLR Insider on July 22, 2010

The Cascade Lakes Relay is one of the coolest races going, and we can show our pride by wearing custom CLR gear throughout the year.  Shirts, hats and fleeces and running jackets in men’s and women’s sizes will be available this year, and they will be able to take credit cards as well as cash or checks.

I have the “You Can Relay On Me” shirt, and it’s super comfortable. And ladies, check out how cute the thermal jacket looks on Carrie. (And Scott, you look great too!)

CLR merchandise will be available at check-in and at the finish line of the race.
