Coming Soon! Beef Running Jerseys!!

I just received this picture of the new "Beef. It's What's for Dinner" running jerseys hot off the presses! How cool is that? The new running jerseys will make their debut at the Chicago Half Marathon on September 9, two days before the start of the National Beef Cook-Off in Chicago. A team of beef-eating runners will be wearing the jerseys to promote eating beef as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The front of the running jerseys (at left) feature the Beef Checkoff and "Team ZIP" (Zinc/Iron/Protein) logos with the words "Running powered by BEEF." Pictured above is the back of the running singlet (tank top). We will also have running Ts (with sleeves) and microfiber running caps.

The new "Beef. It's What's for Dinner" fitness apparel was designed by Don Waite, creative director at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, and is being produced by Pactimo, a Colorado-based manufacturer of elite custom athletic apparel. Pactimo has been great to work with and they make the highest quality custom team apparel I have ever worn. Contact Matt Sodnicar at Pactimo for all of your team's cycling, triathlon and running gear needs.
