Purchasing kit
Kit can be purchased from the kit room, on the top floor of the Seymour Leisure Centre (adjacent to the balcony) above the club room. Please note we do not provide a mail order service for kit.
The kit room is open most Wednesdays, usually between 6.15 pm and 6.40 pm, except the last Wednesday of each month, when it is open after the run (around 8.30 pm to 9.00 pm).
It is also open on Saturday mornings after the club run, with the exception of the first Saturday of each month when the club handicap is run. Watch the e-group for notices on exact opening times. If you have any questions please email: kit@serpentine.org.uk

Special note about racing in eligible kit
We urge you to wear a running vest or t-shirt (short or long sleeves) for running races. This kit – the style it's in, the colours and the portrayal of our two distinctive gold hoops – is officially recognised by UK Athletics and will ensure you and/or your team are eligible to represent the club in that race.
Our tri kit, though very similar, is not official running kit. Wearing it for cross-country, road or other running races risks you being ineligible to represent the club in that race. This guideline applies to all the tri tops and tri suits. Tri shorts are permissible, although bear in mind that these have a thin towelling crotch protection pad intended to guard against chaffing against a saddle. This is not the cushioned 'nappy' of cycling shorts; preferable for cycling training.
In the reverse scenario, you are normally able to compete in tri competitions in the clothing of your choice. The governing tri bodies are not as particular as UK Athletics about what you wear to represent your club. Do note, however, that the rules for our own Club Championships and Multi-Sport Club Championships are very clear – club kit must be worn in Club Championship races in order to be eligible for Club Championships. The only exception to this rule is for the marathon where many people have to wear charity kit.
