How it works
Three steps to the start line
Single File Run Club sells running shirts printed with your dating profile and a QR code that opens a mini profile you control. Printed to order and shipped to US addresses.
Design it
Pick a shirt, a template and your words. Your QR code is made for you.
We print and ship
A person checks every shirt, then it’s printed to order and shipped to you.
They scan, you decide
Your QR opens your mini-profile. Switch it to Taken or Paused any time.

Pause in one tap
Want a quiet run? Pause it and the page goes neutral.
See your scans
Daily counts only. Never who scanned, where, or when.
Your number is opt-in
Printing it is optional, checked before it prints, and permanent.

Why we made it
Run clubs are where people meet now, and nobody knows how to start the conversation at mile 3. So we put the opener on the shirt, and gave you an off switch.
From the people behind DateCard, the dating profile you can hand to someone. No paid reviews here: just the shirts, and the people who wear them.
Questions
Good to know
Will the QR code still work after washing?
Yes. Wash cold and inside out, and don’t iron the print. If it won’t scan within 30 days of delivery, we reprint it free.
Can I change where it goes?
Any time. Your QR opens a scan page you control from a private link: edit what it says, add your Instagram or TikTok, or switch it to Taken or Paused in one tap.
Is printing my number safe?
It’s optional, and permanent once printed: anyone who sees the shirt, or a photo of it, can text you. That’s why the QR code is the default. If you do print a number, we confirm it’s yours before it prints.
What sizes do you have?
Adult sizes, XS to 3XL depending on the shirt. Every shirt has a size chart on our FAQ page.
