Club Kit
We are pleased to be partnering with Scimitar, to offer you a modern web-enabled kit order and delivery service, from March 2024. Our new range is of a higher quality than our previous kit and is produced from recycled materials. At the moment we are only able to offer vests and t-shirts, but we hope to increase our product range over time as we gauge demand.
Please follow this link to visit the online shop.
There are a small number of samples available to try on at St.Mary's school, Enford Street on Wednesday evening, before and after club runs.
We still have some old kit remaining, which is available before and after our club runs on Wednesday evenings which are based out of St.Mary's school, Enford Street. There is no need to make an appointment, but please arrive before 8:30pm and one of our volunteers will be there to assist you. Please email club-kit@serpentine.org.uk if you have any enquiries.
Also we have Serpentine tri kit available to order direct, please contact Hamilton Huxham on triathlon@serpentine.org.uk for details.
Use the kit for racing, training, or giving your support at races as a volunteer or spectator.

Special note about racing in eligible kit
Please wear a club running vest, crop-top 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.
Please note the inverse running tops are not official kit and will not be recognised as so by UK Athletics. These are for visibility on training runs although we will allow them as kit for the Saturday handicap.
Our older tri kit, though very similar, is also not official running kit due to the use of black panels (our newer kit in the usual red and gold is ok). 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.
You are normally able to compete in tri competitions in the clothing of your choice providing it meets the rules (see rule 22 of the British Triathlon rule book). Note: our crop-top no longer meets the rules as it is too small (short). BTF 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 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.
