Course-map towels
The full route printed edge to edge — the same art we engrave on medal backs scales beautifully to a towel.
CUSTOM RACE GEAR
Custom Race Towels
Full-color sublimated finisher and sweat towels that outlast the race photos.
A finisher towel is the swag that gets used every week after the race — at the gym, in the transition bag, on the beach. Ours are full-color sublimated microfiber or cotton terry, printed edge to edge, so your course art and sponsors survive hundreds of washes instead of cracking like a screen print.
Towels pair naturally with medal orders: same artwork, same shipment, one design cycle. Triathlons order beach sizes for transition, road races order rally sizes for the finish chute.

VOLUME PRICING
Race Towels pricing
Per-unit pricing for our standard spec. Proofs and two edit rounds are included at every tier.
| Quantity | Price per unit |
|---|---|
| 100–249 | $4.25 |
| 250–499 | $3.85 |
| 500–999 | $3.50 |
| 1,000+ | $3.25 |
Options beyond the standard spec are itemized in your quote — and we beat any written competitor quote by up to 10%.
Pricing is by size, not by sport: a 3-inch medal runs about $2.50 each at 100 units for any race — larger sizes slightly more, smaller sizes less, and same-size medals start at the same price. Design and proofs are quoted with your order. New designs carry a one-time mold fee (generally around $100, depending on size); reorders of the same design never pay it again. Specialty builds — spinners, moving parts, oversized cutouts — can add to the per-medal cost.
DESIGN IDEAS
How races use custom race towels
Transition towels
Triathletes need a marked towel in transition anyway. A branded one turns a rule into a keepsake.
Finisher-only colorways
A different colorway for finishers than for spectators makes the towel proof of the miles.
Sponsor borders
Sponsor logos in a clean border strip keep the center art yours while giving partners real estate.
Race Towels questions
What size towel do most races order?
Road races mostly order the 11×18 rally size ($3.25–$4.25 depending on quantity) for finish chutes. Triathlons and swim events go 30×60 beach size, which quotes separately by weight.
Sublimation or screen print for race towels?
Sublimation. It dyes the fiber instead of sitting on top, so full-color art survives washing. Screen printing on terry limits you to 1–2 colors and cracks over time. We quote sublimation by default.
Can towels ship with our medal order?
Yes — combining medals and gear in one production run shares the shipment and usually lands both in a better freight bracket. One proof cycle covers the whole set.
