Rapid Ascent NEWSLETTER: As glimpses of normality are beginning to sprinkle us with hope, there is no doubt that achieving a racing or event goal is getting closer.
We feel your frustration. Racing is in our blood as well and we can't wait to set up the start arch so you can compete in one of our events, or race through the finish line as a competitor in someone else's events.
But right now we're happy to circulate a few updates, some more iso inspo to keep you motivated, and share details of a RACE THAT IS HAPPENING in 3 weeks time.
Keep training. Respect social distancing.

What a bullshit elitist suggestion. First and foremost, it’s clothing. If you need warmth, wear it. You’ll also be promoting that event even if you didn’t compete. If you competed and feel so strongly about it, go and get a tattoo.
I don't mind, but I reckon it's bad karma to wear it before or even during the actual event (my personal opinion, I'm no expert on karma). I reckon we've all paid the registration, included the shirt but got injured too late to get your money back. Hell yeah, I'm still accepting and wearing the shirt. It's advertising for the event. And tech shirts are great, half my cupboard is tech shirts from races.
When it comes to events, I think you have earn that t-shirt. 💪
I think you should only wear the t-shirt if you have participated in the event.
