main? that would be moan! I'm coming up on 200 runs - I'd like tot think the 250 t shirt will still exist when I get to that point but I'm not convinced it will.

I reckon the 50 will go soon but you'll be safe with 250.

Better make sure I get to 50 before they withdraw it - on 44 now.

I'm particularly disappointed for my son, he was so pleased to get to 50 Parkrun and at the age of 15 a broken promise when you don't get a shirt matters

I think the tshirts every 50 will need to stop and become maybe 50/100/250/500/750 etc, maybe even drop the 50 or 100. I am surprised thats not been discussed ahead of some of the other controversial changes

I think the issue is easy to solve, just charge for them. After you have done 50 parkruns you are bought in to the concept and most people would buy one. If you don't value the tee-shirt, just don't buy it. I'd pay for my 250 when I finally get there (still 1.5 years away!)

? Bazoaxe. There aren't t-shirts every fifty. It is 50/100/250/500 (so far only 13 of them, I think); plus 10 for juniors.

Anything like this is definitely a custom item:

11 years doing parkruns, lost or gave to the charity shop my Nike 50 shirt years ago, just done no 98, will I pay for a 100 shirt? Nope! Happy without one!
