No judgement but aughhhh this makes me sad lol. I'm not very fast and have only been running competitively for 13 months but I cannot imagine not keeping every single race momento! I wear the cotton ones (kind of rare for me) when I'm running errands, cleaning, lounging and the tech ones when I'm training. Maybe find someone that quilts? That would be AMAZING to have a quilt made of all your races!

I absolutely charity bin some of mine. Not all of my shirts actually fit me - I'm small, so the sizing is sometimes off. I totally want someone else who needs but maybe can't afford a nicer tech shirt to be able to run in one.

It's no big deal to me, I have the memories I need. Now what I feel guilty about is getting rid of medals, but I was thinking of sending them to that charity that gives them to kids. I could definitely live with that.

Nope ... Those I don't like I have used for 1) yard work or 2) mowing or 3) cut them up and used them to clean furniture.

However I have saved all my bibs.

I just cleaned out my closet and gave all the cotton ones to my daughter's to wear as pajamas. They love it.

I do not have that many so do not have that problem.

alot of mine end up in the charity bin because i have found out that a 'runner sized XL' doesn't actually mean a real life XL and alot of race shirts don't even fit over my shoulders.

i keep most of my race medals though and the medal from my most recent race is hanging from my rear view of mirror of my car.

Back in my earlier running days, I did a special needs awareness 5k, and bless their hearts, they let one of the kids design the shirt and it's horrendous. I just can't be seen in it, but I can't bring myself to trash it either lol.

I'm starting to want cotton shirts and notice a lot of races are giving out cottons and selling tech tees, or vice versa. I feel like a jock sniffer wearing a tech tee out in public if I'm not racing, and let's face it, I like to take my time in Target.

When I first started running and learned that technical fabric was WAY better than cotton for running I BOUGHT a bunch of donated race technical shirts from our charity store. LOL So, thanks for your donations - because they've helped get me started.

I don't do a lot of races, in fact I'm only coming up on my 2nd road race, so I only have 1 technical tee, and I wear it running. The cotton shirt that I got from the mud run last year I cut the neckline to make it a looser tee for sleeping in.

My 2 medals and my bib are on the mirror above my dresser and I cherish them.

I only keep the ones I like. My last half gave out white tech shirts that were far too see-through for my liking, I couldn't imagine ever wearing it in public so it went straight to the charity bin.

I wish I had kept my bibs. My first one was from a Tough Mudder so it was wrecked by the end, and it didn't occur to me to keep bibs in other races after that. But I do engrave my times on the backs of my medals.

Wait....you're supposed to get a shirt??

My wife runs lots of races and she thinks the majority of shirts they hand out are crappy, so she throws them and only keeps the few good ones.
I am someone who gets attached to shirts/clothes and wants to keep them all. So, what I do to make parting easier is to put the clothes/shirts I am pretty sure I don't wear much, or at all, into a bag that goes in the basement or the garage. That way I am not actually throwing them out, but they are not clutter anymore. After a few months, I realize I have not even missed them, and I can toos the bags without pangs of misgiving.
You're just being sentimental. Look at the shirts hard; you know if you are ever going to choose that shirt from the drawer, or not, when you have other choices. If not, give it the ol' heave-ho!

I toss most of my shirts and only keep the really special ones (good quality or the race was awesome!)
Every couple of months I donate the majority of my medals to a charity that hands them to sick kids after their cancer treatments.

I am a data junkie. I hoard my Garmin data and any race photos I can get my hands on.

I use mine for sleep shirts, so I don't care too much how attractive or well-fitting they are. Very few tech shirts-- mostly cotton. Every year or so I'll go through them and get rid of the ones I'm not wearing or don't care about.
