Sport Science is
Walking Team Shirt
Supplier
WALK! Magazine has chosen
sport science™ shirts for our
Walking Team. Sport science
will also provide new technical
shirts available for purchase
on our website.
These shirts were chosen for a
variety of reasons including
the fact they feel like cotton
though made of a wicking
fabric. In addition, they are
machine washable and driable
with minimal shrinkage, they
don’t pill like other polyesters,
and they’ll stay wrinkle free.
“From our super-soft fabric
with a higher thread count on
the face, to the seamless body
construction, to the heat-seal
labeling, we make sure each
product prevents chafing and
abrasion down to the last
detail.” All sport science™
smarter basics™ are treated
with a special FreshGuard®
application in the spinning
process to reduce odor buildup
in the fabric. This should help
keep you and your locker room
or gym bag from smelling like a
locker room or gym bag.

Generic Race Option
Do you want to join the WALK! Magazine Walking Team, but you can't make
it to one of our chosen events? That's OK!
Due to popular demand, we are now offering a "Generic Race" option. You
still get the great goodies and training program, and you can join in on the
chat group. You just enter any event of your choice. (I haven't figured out
how to do the motivational e-mails in a way that makes sense for this
option.)
Just select the Generic Race option and choose a distance when you
register.
