For the 5^th year in a row, the Critz Tybee Run Fest has partnered with the Savannah Morning News/SavannahNow.com for the race T-shirt Design Contest. With nearly 6,000 online votes, and participation from as far as Wisconsin and California the contest is closed and the winner has been announced. Katherine Wyman, a 53-year-old artist, painter and avid runner from Florida created the winning “Shoe Bucket on the Beach” design. She was inspired by her love for quaint beachside communities and passion for running. Katherine is looking forward to visiting Savannah and Tybee for the first time during the 2016 Critz Tybee Run Fest, and will participate in all five CTRF races.

Dale Critz, Jr. states “the Critz Tybee Run Fest race shirts have become collectable items. Each year we enjoy seeing the unique designs and know our runners look forward to the new t-shirt for their collection.

The winning design will grace the 2016 official race t-shirt, and will also be available for sale starting at the packet pick-up and expo on Thursday February 4^th, 2016 and online following the races. For the first time this year, the packet pick-up and expo will be a one-day event and will take place at the Critz BMW showroom in Savannah, at the corner of Abercorn and Stephenson
