Flying Irish Running Club

This year we are holding a contest for the annual shirt design to commemorate the Flying Irish turning 21 - the legal beer drinking age :)

The theme for the shirt is "21 Run" so the design needs to include the benchmark that this is Flying Irish's 21st birthday.

See the below design options and vote on your favorite for the 2026 Annual Shirt. Cast your vote by using the google form linked below or access it from our weekly member email. Voting closes on Monday June 22nd.

Please note: only one vote per member. Multiple votes will not be counted.

Special shout out to our members who took the time to create and submit a shirt design - may the odds be ever in your favor 😉
