As seasoned experts in running event merchandise, and as passionate runners ourselves, the Running Awards and Apparel team members have seen firsthand the incredible impact a well-designed running hat can have on both a runner’s individual performance and an event’s overall success. Runners love earning and wearing these built for action accessories, and for good reasons. Not only do they serve as practical pieces of running gear, protecting from the sun and sweat, but they also serve as cherished mementos of hard-fought victories.
Catering to the Needs of Runners
At Running Awards and Apparel, we’re proud to offer a wide range of high-quality technical, Run-Dri running hats from our trusted brand, Racetrackers. Since 1995, Racetrackers has been crafting exceptional hats that cater to the diverse needs and preferences of outdoor runners. Our collection includes a variety of styles, colors, and fits, ensuring there’s something for everyone in the running community.
Another Opportunity For Promoting Your Running Event
A Marathon finisher wears his Racetrackers 6500A Run-Dri hat.
One of our most popular styles is the 6500A, a timeless classic that has been a favorite among race directors for years. Many race director customers choose to brand this hat for their events, creating a unique and memorable keepsake for participants; a keepsake that can be worn throughout the year during each running season. We encourage our customers to promote their races by asking runners to share photos of themselves wearing their hats on social media, tagging the event. This type of hype can significantly increase awareness and build excitement for both the race and the hat itself. You can read more about this fun type of promotion in our article about the Hyner View Trail Challenge and the PA Trail dogs, who have made their annual Racetrackers “Where’s Your Hyner Hat” campaign a whole new challenge to their participants.
Runners and Race Directors Want Maximum Performance in a Hat
In addition to the 6500A, we recently introduced the 6500S, a new style that combines the low-profile design of the original with two full panel air vents for enhanced breathability and comfort. All five panels in this new hat’s construction can be designed in full color using sublimation, which offers the most unique design options yet! One recent race director customer was able to add a sponsor logo directly onto one panel of the hat, which offered a great opportunity for earning more sponsorships in the future.
The new 6500S hat is perfect for runners who demand maximum performance and up to the moment running style.
The new Racetrackers 6500S offers five fully customizable panels and full side air flow vents.
All of our Racetrackers Run Dri Hats are made from high-quality, moisture-wicking materials to keep runners cool and dry. The terry cloth sweatband and adjustable Velcro strap provide added comfort and a secure fit. Whether you’re hitting the trails or running a marathon, our hats are designed to perform.
The new Racetrackers 6500S offers the opportunity to add a Sponsor’s logo (Food Gatherers here) directly onto a sublimated panel.
Beyond the 6500A and 6500S, our collection also includes the trail race favorite, Racetrackers Trucker Hat 6700E, and the Run Dri 6500E, which features a Dri-weave waffle material, unique style, and no air vents.
