Race Team Names FAQ

How do we pick a race team name?

Match the name to the race, like Here We Glow Again for a glow run or Mud Warriors for a mud run. Pick one the whole team will wear.

What shirt should we wear for a mud run?

Pick an affordable tee you don’t mind getting dirty, and print the team name big so it shows in photos.

When should we order our shirts?

Order a few weeks before you need them. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive in time.

Can I get help with the design?

Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
