Buy a sweatshirt
Buy a sweatshirt
You can buy a Running on Faith Project sweatshirt for yourself or you can bless someone else and buy a sweatshirt for one of our members! Every consistent athlete gets a cozy, high quality Running on Faith team sweatshirt. It’s a great way to feel connected and part of something. These sweatshirts are high quality, they don’t shrink and are super cozy. Great for morning walks, for putting on after a run or for just chilling. The sweatshirt cost is $65. This amount covers the cost of the sweatshirt and shipping.
Let us know if you want one for yourself or if you are looking for a way to perform a random act of kindness and you want to gift it to a new member. Either way. We got you!
