Calling athletes to action

This past weekend at the USATF Indoor Track & Field Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico a series of serious injustices took place that comprised athletes' right to fair sport. The national governing body of track & field violated several competition rules and procedures adversely impacting the innocent athletes it is meant to serve.

For a complete recap of events please visit this article by letsrun.com: The Inside Story Of Gabriele Grunewald’s DQ – Insider Access, False Promises And A Violation Of USATF’s Own Rules?


As a call to action we are asking to unite and TAKE A STAND against what happened by buy and wearing a STOP THE CORRUPTION t-shirt. (note: purchase link will be live by 11:59pm 2/27/2014)

This non-branded cotton shirt is neon yellow to symbolize Gabe Grunewald's singlet color & need for athletes' voice to be clearly seen and heard!

We want athletes, coaches, fans to show their support by wearing this shirt on runs, to practice, warming up/cooling down for meets.  We will have a wristband available for competition use as well. Show your support - take action & STOP THE CORRUPTION! #fairtrackandfield


100% of the proceeds will go towards funding non-sponsored post-collegiate track & field athletes to track meets in the US.

We will also have a neon-yellow wrist band for sell for athletes to wear during competitions on their right wrist/forearm.
