Before marathons became mass participation events, New Yorkers packed an arena to watch people walk for six days.

This design is based on the extraordinary pedestrianism craze of the 19th century and the six-day walking contests held at Gilmore’s Garden in New York in 1879. These endurance events drew serious competitors, large crowds and intense press attention — essentially professional sport built around the question: how far can a person keep going?

The artwork reimagines the event as the kind of sporting souvenir that might have belonged to the occasion, using a bold athletic composition featuring:

SIX-DAY WALK
NEW YORK • 1879
GILMORE’S GARDEN

Made for runners, walkers, sports-history obsessives and anyone who enjoys discovering the strange things people once considered perfectly normal entertainment.

A Temporary Tourist souvenir from a real event in a slightly stranger sporting past.

Our suppliers provide the measurements. There might be a variation of up to 2 inches (5 cm) in the product measurements.

A useful tip is to compare these measurements with those of a product you have at home.

A Length

Begin at the collar's edge at the top of the t-shirt (the highest shoulder point) and extend the tape to the shirt's bottom.

B Width

Start the tape at the seam just below one sleeve and stretch it across to the seam below the other sleeve.
