Marathon clothing question

[bridgetgabbie]

So at the expo on Friday I purchased a women's track jacket that I have had my eye on since November from the packet. I picked it out from the side of the expo that had the marathon stuff. So after dying through the marathon on Sunday, I proudly put on my jacket and an hour later my husband noticed I had on a half marathon jacket. I saw the staff putting up jackets right before I got to the shelf so I am sure they stocked it in the wrong location. So I was able to return it, but now there is NOTHING available for me to purchase. Does anyone have anything or know anyone that is able to part with a piece of merchandise they bought that is for the full marathon. I am willing to pay you more than you paid for it, and am willing to buy something that is already been worn. I am looking for a long sleeved shirt/sweatshirt/jacket. I bought an XL track jacket, but for shirts and sweatshirts I wear a medium. Any information would be greatly appreciated because I am so upset I have nothing to bring home with me. I will pay for shipping but will also be in Orlando until Sunday. Thanks!

Did you try the Team Mickey Sports store at the Marketplace...I was there this morning and they had some marathon t-shirts left.

Did you look at the WWoS store? We stopped in there this afternoon, and the leftover stock is there. Styles and sizes are very limited, but it may be worth a try. For full marathon, I know they had the warm up pants and jackets, but I don't know of the sizes.

We picked up a set of Goofy and Donald hooded jackets.

Good Luck. Hope this helps.

We already tried WWoS and Team Mickey at Downtown Disney. All they have left is a few odd sizes (huge or tiny) in 1/2 marathon or Goofy and a couple marathon t-shirts which I wouldn't be able to wear much during the winter in Boston, and if I wanted gear from events I didn't participate in I would have just kept the 1/2 Marathon track jacket I had.

Just looking for long sleeved items, Womens medium for most stuff, or Womens XL for a track jacket since they fit really small.

As I said, we are willing to pay extra if anyone has anything.

Thanks.

Robin,
I know that last year, shortly after the marathon, quite a bit of marathon clothing , new with tags, showed up on Ebay. It may be worth checking out again if nothing else pans out.

Good Luck, I'm sure something will work out.

I was at WWoS this morning to try and find something and they had not much left at all and what they did have was either goofy related or size xxxl. I was pretty disappointed overall int he selection (I didnt really get to look until Saturday before the kids races as the expo was a zoo on thursday so we left--by Saturday the only cute stuff was Goofy I spoke to a merchandising manager at the Boarwalk and discussed how disappointed I was that they had no marathon logo merchandise available ANYWHERE other than at the expo. (I was expecting something at least in the sports store in DTD or in the MK on main street) or even any generic Disney Running stuff.

Thanks for the information. We are definitely checking ebay constantly, hoping to find something. I just want one piece to use to help show off my first marathon. It is crazy that they ordered the same amount of merchandise as past years even though they had so many more participants. (My husband also talked to the merchandise manager and was told this.) Hopefully someone will finally post something soon.

I can only imagine how disappointed you are. I hope it works out for you, and you find the full jacket

Robin,
I just checked out EBAY, and there's an XL 2008 Marathon jacket up for bid. It is located at:

If this is what you're looking for, best of luck to you!

That looks like a volunteer jacket and I see a t-shirt, but I will keep looking on ebay. I am sure something will pop up eventually. Thanks for the link!

One item that I was disappointed in was the "I Did It" t-shirt this year. Last year, I purchased one at the expo for the half. Yep, I counted the chicks before they hatched. The same shirt was offered at the merchandise trailer after the half except that that a map of the course was printed on the back making it different than the one offered at the expo.

This year, I saw the "I Did It" shirt for the marathon at the expo. I decided to wait until after the event to purchase one so I could get it with the map. Wrong move. Not only did they run out of sizes (only Sm and XXL available) but there was no map on the back. The volunteer manning the register told me that this was the first year the finishing shirt was no different than what was offered at the expo.
