Crew Gear
shop

This is your go-to place to check out our gear and make ordering easier.But hey—don’t forget, we’re not Amazon Prime! This is all about “spread the crew love”, not making big bucks.Every single item is made just for YOU (yes, even the ones without your name on it). That’s why there’s NO RETURNS!Of course, if something’s wrong with your order, we’ll get you a replacement that’s 100% right. But a simple “Meh, not my style” or “Oops, wrong size” won’t cut it—because, well, it was custom-made for you.So, check your sizes, choose wisely, and rock your FatBetty.Run gear with pride!The delivery time? Think of it as more of a rough estimate than a promise. We place bulk orders with the producer whenever we’ve got enough orders together—so patience is key!No shipping. Pick-up is only on Thursdays from the green box in the FB.R room at Indies. We’ll shoot you a message when your order is in.

do's and don'ts

🖤 We know, it’s a lot of text—but if you love Betty as much as Betty loves you, take a minute to read through these points. After all, a smooth run is a fun run! 🖤

DISCLAIMER:Participation is at the participant's own risk and no liability can be assumed by FatBetty.Run.It’s not about racing or pacing. It's about having some runfun together. If your main concern is how fast you can go, this is not the right place. But you should be able to run 5k or 10k with a pace of 6.At FatBetty.Run, we respect the traffic laws (“code de la route”)—for your own safety and the safety of the surrounding traffic.If you run with us, you explicitly recognise the above rules.

THE DO'S AND DON'TS:BEFORE THE RUN- Be a hero and please close the green door (the one with the two signs saying “Please close the door” on it)—it’s getting chilly inside Indies.- Getting changed? Great! But please, not in front of the FatBetty room or on the stairs—head around the corner to the corridor instead.- Hooks exist for a reason! Hang up your stuff and avoid turning the floor into an obstacle course.- Even though we lock the room during the run and have installed a camera, we are not liable for the loss or damage of personal belongings.RIGHT BEFORE THE RUN- Late? Don’t be! Making 50+ runners wait isn’t a great way to win friends.- When stepping outside, move to the right or left—don’t create a human roadblock by standing in the entrance area. Other runners still need to get out, and Indies guests need access, too.- Also, bikes exist, and they are faster than you. Keep the cycle path clear unless you fancy becoming part of a cyclist’s braking experiment.DURING THE RUN- Enjoy your weekly dose of runfun!- Do not overtake the “Leitkuh” (our frontrunner). Yes, we mean it. No, we’re not joking. If you can’t handle that, FatBetty.Run might not be the right fit.- Running is great, but not if you’re in your own little headphone bubble. Stay connected to the group.- Red means stop. Traffic lights apply to runners too.- At red traffic lights, spread out to the right and left. Otherwise, we’ll still be standing there when next week’s run starts.- Always run on the footpath, never on the road—unless your dream is to race cars (spoiler: you’ll lose).- Pedestrians exist, and shocker—running in a large group doesn’t give us the right of way. Move aside early. Be respectful!- Pass warnings like “Velo!”, “Poteau!”, “Auto!” to the back of the group. It’s important that everyone hears them.AFTER THE RUN- Close the Indies main door after entering—it’s getting cold inside.- And yes, you guessed it—close the green door (the one with the two signs). Seriously, it’s not decoration.- Getting changed? Please, still not in front of the FatBetty room or on the stairs. There’s a perfectly good corridor just around the corner.- Clear your belongings from the FatBetty room by 8:30 PM at the latest.- And finally—don’t run off too fast! Stick around for a drink and a chat after the run!

🖤 BETTY LOVES YOU 🖤
