RIP Rachel Apa NYC Marathon 2002 2026 Shirt
$19.95
The RIP Rachel Apa NYC Marathon 2002 2026 Shirt remembers Rachel Apa, the 24-year-old runner from Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, who collapsed during the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 1, 2026, near Mile 24 in Central Park, roughly two miles from the finish line. It was her first marathon. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she died that night. This shirt was created as a tribute for everyone who has carried her story in the days since, from the runners who shared that course with her to the strangers who simply couldn’t stop thinking about her.
RIP Rachel Apa NYC Marathon 2002 2026 Shirt – Her Smile, Bib 29977, and One Moment Before the Race
The RIP Rachel Apa NYC Marathon Shirt keeps everything focused on Rachel. A single large, square, full-color photograph is printed across the chest of a black crew-neck tee, with open black space framing it on every side. She stands turned toward the camera with her head tilted and a warm, almost mischievous smile, long brown hair falling past her shoulders. She’s dressed head to toe in white, a cropped hooded long-sleeve top and relaxed white pants, with a gold watch catching the light on her wrist.
Held against her side is her pink-and-white race bib: number 29977 in large navy digits, RACHEL printed underneath, sponsor logos along the top, small numbered tear tabs on the left edge, and 2026 tucked into the lower corner. Her free hand points toward a gray wall covered edge to edge in row after row of tiny printed text, as if she has just found her own name among thousands.
Rachel wasn’t chasing a finish time. She ran with the Parkinson’s Foundation Champions team to raise money in honor of her grandfather, who died in 2022 after living with Parkinson’s disease and whom she described as one of her role models. She had been a four-year member of the Bucknell University field hockey team, worked as a product manager, and had recently started a master’s degree in business. Her father followed her progress on the race app from home, trading texts with her through the miles until her location stopped moving. On the course, bystanders, including doctors from the crowd, took turns performing CPR before medical staff arrived.
A young athlete running for someone she loved, and a crowd that rushed in to help: that is why her name traveled so far, so fast. This tee belongs on long Sunday runs, at Parkinson’s fundraising walks, and on quiet days when you want to remember that every bib in that start corral belonged to someone with a reason to run.

Important Note – Size Guide & Ordering Tips at Bigfirefashion
Before you check out, take a quick minute to read the notes below. A little prep goes a long way toward making sure your Bigfirefashion order shows up looking exactly the way you pictured it.How to Choose the Right Size
Our tees, hoodies, hats, and jerseys are made to order, so picking the correct size before you click Buy is key. We follow standard US sizing, but fits can vary slightly from one style to the next, so always double-check the size chart on the product page.- Measure first, order second. Grab a soft tape measure and check your chest, waist, and hip in inches. Compare those numbers to the size chart on the product page rather than guessing from your usual size.
- Between two sizes? Size up. Most of our prints are designed for a relaxed, true-to-size American fit. If you’re right on the line, going up one size gives you a more comfortable, lived-in look.
- Check the fit type. Unisex tees run a touch roomier in the shoulders, while women’s cuts are more tapered through the waist. Youth and toddler sizes follow standard US kids’ charts.
- Mind the fabric. 100% cotton pieces may shrink slightly after the first wash. Cotton-poly blends hold their shape better. Wash cold and tumble dry low to keep the fit true.
- Still not sure? Email our support team with your measurements and the product link — we’ll help you land on the right size before you order.
Important Ordering Notes
Every Bigfirefashion item is printed on demand right after you place your order, which means accurate details on your end help us get it to your door faster.- Double-check your details. Review the size, color, design, quantity, and shipping address on the checkout page before you pay. Once production starts, we can’t swap items or edit the address.
- Order changes & cancellations. Need to update or cancel? Reach out within 6 hours of ordering. After that, your item is already in production and changes are no longer possible.

- Tracking your order. You’ll get a confirmation email right after checkout and a tracking number as soon as your package ships. If anything looks off, contact us before the carrier marks it delivered.
- Color & print disclaimer. Because monitors display colors differently, the actual shade may vary slightly from what you see on screen. Tiny print placement differences are part of the handcrafted, made-to-order process.
- Returns & refunds. We back every order with a 30-day easy return policy for damaged, defective, or incorrect items. Made-to-order pieces can’t be returned for size or color preference, so please measure carefully.
