On the right, a brightly coloured women’s athletic T-shirt is displayed, featuring a pink collar and sleeves and a gradient pattern of pink, yellow, and green dots. The front of the shirt is branded with “Mayo.ie” and “Mayo Day Mini Marathon 2026.” Beside it is a matching eco medal with a navy ribbon reading “Mayo Day Mini Marathon 2026.” A circular badge near the top says “T-shirt for first 1900 registered.”

Additional text on the left reads: “Earlybird entry €25* – Entry includes T-shirt and eco medal.” Logos for Western People, Mayo.ie, and Mayo Sports Partnership appear along the bottom.
