Dear organizers. I did the virtual 26.2 miles last November 28th which was my birthday run. I always look forward to the medal and tee shirt. To my dismay, when I collected my package today, I got another blue 2020 tee shirt and 2020 bag. What is this? I did not sign up for this. Is it that I am from the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago? I am totally disappointed and disgusted.
