The Hampshire Hoppit has a nominated race charity, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. They continue to save lives and need our support to keep their ambulance helicopters in the air. All the Hampshire Hoppit technical tee shirt, vest, and hoody sales are for HIOWAA. With an exciting 2024 Hoppit branding that has been designed by professional art designers, they are great quality and good value.There is still time to purchase your HIOWAA Hoppit garment, but we must close the online shop by 5pm on 16 May 2024, when we will be placing the final order with the manufacturers. If you haven’t ordered when you originally entered the Hoppit, then it’s not too late to edit your order to add a tee shirt, or vest, or hoody. Go to the ‘Enter Now’ screen from the race website, and scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on My Registration. If you haven't entered the race yet, but do so before 16 May 2024, then you will see the garment pre-order option before the final checkout screen.
