I am happy to announce that more 2025 merchandise will be available on opening day of registration, September 11th. In addition to the some of the new items already available here, many new shirts, pins and patches are coming with the theme around the year of the Vietnam veteran as well as next year being the 35th annual Run For The Wall.
The new Run shirt this year has a special theme that shows Vietnam era veteran, with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall as a backdrop, shaking hands with a new era veteran, with the Middle East Conflicts Memorial as a backdrop, in a handoff to move the mission forward. This, while in the background is the silhouette of soldiers who are no longer with us. The color will be in safety green and will be available in both men’s (S – 4XL) and women’s shirts (S – 2XL).
In addition to the new Run shirt there is a new men’s polo shirt in navy blue that has the anniversary badge on the front. This will be available in a moisture wicking material and come in short sleeve.
I am still wrapping up the final details on both shirts with the supplier however you will be able to order these on 9/11 with an expected ship date around the week of 9/23.
The new patches that will be available are the All The Way 2025, Participant 2025 and Wall To Wall 2025, a new 22 patch remembering the 22 lives lost every day due to suicide, 35/50 anniversary patch and the 2025 FNG patch. The FNG patch this year features the Vietnam Ribbon as the backdrop in recognition of the year of the Vietnam veteran.
There are two new pins that you are probably already aware of as well as a new poker chip. The two pins are the new anniversary Run pin and founders pin that is based on the original pin from 1989. Finally, the poker chip has been updated to include the 50 year Vietnam anniversary and 35th annual Run.
Throughout the year you can expect to see more stuff coming and released on a quarterly basis. A new RFTW hat is in the works as well as new short sleeve shirts for men and women. I have some ideas on new patches that I’ll be rolling out as well so stay tuned! Finally, don’t forget about the bundle offerings to save on multiple items. These will be available again on 9/11.
Ride, practice and be safe out there!
