Welcome​

Welcome, you have found the WISH Racing Team. How to get you started with our WISH Team? You become a WISH Team member by posting on the main team thread. That's it!
The main team thread is actually the WISH'ers walking, running and "other"ing in 2012--General Discussion thread. Depending on demand the thread may turn into the (Wk of Month/Day – WISH Walking/Running Club). This thread is where we share training and other information. Stop by there and introduce yourself. We are a friendly group with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. Feel free to ask any question and there will be a variety of people willing to help you.
Motto:

DLF>DNF>>DNS
(Dead Last Finish is better than Did Not Finish which greatly trumps Did Not Start),
WISH gave me the courage to start.​

Wish Gear: Check here for latest information on orders. Links will be available during ordering opportunities. Shirt orders are generally done once a year around the July/August timeframe. Other items are done as demand arises and someone has time to coordinate.

Our latest WISH shirt order has been handled by Champion System using a custom group order. They require a minimum order to be placed. The orders were recently handled on our Facebook WISH Team page.

Anyone who wants to organize an order may do so.

Thanks to all who have handled shirt orders. We have used RaceReady and AlertShirt and our own iron-on.

Others have taken on the orders for hats/visors/headbands...

Thanks to all.

WISH Artwork

I've received many requests for the WISH shirt artwork. I would like to make the artwork available for anyone who WISHes to use it!

However, in order to keep the use in line with the WISH Team spirit, there are a couple of rules.

RULES FOR USE OF WISH TEAM ARTWORK.
1) The artwork is copyright protected and as such contains all the protection provided under the US Copyright Law.
2) The artwork can be used for individual use only. This means, you can put the artwork on items for yourself and family and friends, but not on anything that can or will be merchandised in any fashion.
3) The artwork may not be altered in anyway.
4) Any printing that will be more than just your local group (i.e., a whole WISH Team item) must receive written permission from me in advance.
5) All printing from this point on must contain the copyright line.

If I should be absent for a while and you need to contact me, please send Lily, Carrie, Cam, or Mel after me!

We have a WISH team discount at runningwarehouse.
We have been trying to figure out a way to handle the discount code so as not to have it discontinued for being posted publicly.

1)You can ask Moderator Tiger Lily 03 on the disboards/WISH page if you are already a registered user and have established your disboards membership,
or if you have
2)Been a FB WISH group member for a month and then message any of the Admins on this group. You can search under members on the FB group page and then search by administrators.

**Please note, this code is only for use by club members and IS NOT to be posted publicly anywhere, please help us keep it for the WISH group only.**
Thank you everyone for understanding and following Running Warehouses policy.

Thanks Mel (Chimera) for setting this up for our team.

I just want to clarify the rules on using the WISH logo. Can the designs be used separate of each other? (IE: the front design used without the back.) Can it be printed on any gear, as long as it isn't for profit?

I think the key is the last phrase.

I have a drawstring pack that our friends had made with the front logo. I don't think you can take and change the logo, but using it seems ok. What do I know?

not a first timer, but I have been a long time urker who has signed up for his first Disney events since 2011. I'm signed up for another Goofy! Hope you don't mind if I hang around!
