Hoppit 2023 Tee Shirt And Vest Design

We are delighted to announce the 2023 design for the Hampshire Hoppit Finishers Tee Shirt and Vest. We love it, and hope you do too. Once again it has been designed by our talented friends at Alive With Ideas, a marketing agency based in Basingstoke.  

All profits from the sale of tees and vests go to Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance. 

These technical tees and vests are designed for runners, and retail at £15 per item. They are available to order from the Hoppit ‘Enter Now’ tab, when registering for the race. They are available in all Mens and (fitted) Ladies fittings, from XS to XXL.

If you have already registered but not ordered a shirt or vest, and would like one, then you can go back to your entry and add the item. Use the Enter Now tab from the Hoppit website, and then page to the bottom of the screen, and select My Registration. Once you have done that, you can access your entry by entering the email address that you used when registering, as well as your order number. On the next screen, click on Merchandise. You will then be taken to the Merchandise page where you can order your tee or vest, and then pay for it.

Hampshire Hoppit Beer Draw

One of the main sponsors of The Hampshire Hoppit, Loddon Breweries, are offering two lucky race entrants a pack of 12 bottles of their prize-winning ales. These will be delivered to the successful recipient shortly after each draw.

There will be two draws, as follows:

1. A random recipient selected from every entrant of The Hampshire Hoppit 2023 that has entered between August 2022 and by Monday 16 January 2023. This draw will be Tuesday 17 January 2023.

2. A random recipient selected from every entrant of The Hampshire Hoppit 2023 that has entered between August 2022 and by Monday 20 March 2023. This draw will be Tuesday 21 March 2023.

Good luck!

Our 2023 Medal!!

We are delighted to announce the design for the 2023 finisher medal. We think that it will be a fantastic addition to the Hoppit collection of those that have some (or perhaps all?) of the previous medals.

The 2023 design includes…

– Spinning beer glass motif (one side representing a full glass, the other side representing almost empty!)

– Bottle opener capability plus ribbon loop

– ‘2023’ partly cutout and indented at medal base

– Hoppit logo and branding 

We hope you like it!
