Any advice on finding USATF Singlet?

[imnothammer]

Just curious is anyone has any advice on tracking down the current USATF singlet?

I know Running Warehouse sells the Nike Digital Race Day Elite singlet but it looks like those are reserved for bulk team orders. Otherwise I can only find these for crazy markups (400 - 500) on ebay...

Thanks

Current official USA Team Singlets are usually only available for pro athletes representing the USA. Occasionally you will find them from athletes or fans on resale sites like ebay but usually as you said at high mark ups. To our knowledge they are not available for purchase by fans.

Depending on your size, USATF.org has the larger sizes available of older gear on clearance, that might be a place to start?

Appreciate the replies - I had been checking the USATF shop but apparently they only sell the old overstock when a new set comes out (and they're also fairly cleaned out of the old stock at the moment).

I wish track and field sold replicas the way that other sports did. Oh well, I will just have to keep an eye out on ebay or hold my breathe until after Tokyo. Thanks folks.

It's like the old wisecrack response to "can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?" Practice, practice, practice.

I am just trying to run a 3 hour marathon. I think 2:19 is probably a little out of reach - hah!

Update - a success!
The after market resales are pretty wild (some listings being north of $500) but I was able to scoop this up at a fairly reasonable price from a reseller who funnels 100% of the proceeds back to the athletes.
Excited to rock this for one of my international races later this year.

Awesome! Glad you got one.

You can buy them at USATF events. I've seen them at the USATF XC Nationals and at the Expo at the ATL marathon.

Neat! I am in the NYC tri-state area and unfortunately I don't think they run many of the national events around here.

I am hoping that when they update the uniforms for Tokyo I can pick up some more of the current "generation" stuff on the USATF site, but I wanted to make sure I got my hands on a singlet before my international races later this year so I was willing to pay (a small) mark up to get this.

Sound great! I usually rock my local club kit in races, but ya would be nice if they sold them online. If I remember right they were upwards of $120 at the ATL expo. Going down to Naples this weekend to race and that's a USATF race, so they'll probably be there selling them. The USATF actually has a lot of races, and probably some near you (in the summer).

for anyone looking for pretty reasonable prices on pro/national team gear these guys usually have a good selection. And they give all the money back to the athletes. Good company

Yep - this is where I got it from. Price under $200 and money going back to the athlete so I pulled the trigger.

Unfortunately they do still charge some wild prices for some items. They actually end up selling the Pro Elite singlet for $600+ when I regularly see ebay listings for $80. So, buyer still beware there...

Running Warehouse coming in clutch - now I've got a singlet for both of my international races later this year!

 

[Andrew A.]

Nice, I've been in the market for one now that my MAGA singlet is out of fashion… kidding! ?

 

[imnothammer]

Wild - the singlet I linked above is already "file not found"

Glad I bought it when I did!

Keep an eye on our new arrivals around 7/25/21 for more inventory of the USA singlets!

I still have my high school singlet (and I still fit into it!). It is also all cotton and its retro cool factor has yet to overcome the agony of racing in sandpaper, so in my dresser it remains...
