Topshelf Records Running Club Shorts

Info:

Two constants in my adult life have always been running and music. They've overlapped and interwoven to a point where both are intrinsically and fundamentally part of who I am. I've been on dozens of tours with artists we work with all around the world, and I always make it a point to go for a run after loading in or—if I'm feeling spry (rare)—getting up early and running before getting back on the road to the next gig. It's exciting to run around a city you've never visited before and it's invigorating to explore new places while running with friends!!

With this ethos in mind, I've started a running club. And as of right now, I'm still not even sure what the hell that means or will ultimately look like, but to start, I just feel like I'm craving an outlet for connection and motivation and I have a hunch I'm not alone. I've always found community in both music and in running, so I'm hoping to help foster more of that here with this club. The purchase of any Running Club merch (like these shorts) grants you lifetime access to the club. I'm hopeful this can spur meetups and running groups and in-person things, but for now, Running Club membership includes:

  • a two-inch "Topshelf Running Club" button/badge
  • running club members-only collaborative Spotify playlist
  • running club members-only Discord channel
  • running club members-only Strava group

These shorts are slate gray and feature the Topshelf logo on the right leg, and the running club logo on the left. The shorts have a liner, a left and right pocket, a back zip for your phone or other belongings, and the fabric is a sweat wicking, breathable polyester blend.

PS: you definitely don't have to be a runner to wear these!

Please note:

there is a misprint on the packing for the running short sizes. (labeled one size up - small is labeled medium, medium is labeled large...etc)
