Little Compton's Most Unforgettable Road Race Shirt. LC, Where Landmarks and Livestock Run Together!
 |
| Rhode Island Red looks ready for road-race glory. |
The 2006 T-shirt for the 26th Annual Little Compton Road Race remains a favorite among race participants and collectors for its creative celebration of local landmarks and traditions. The design features a whimsical cast of competitors—including a cow, the iconic Sakonnet Lighthouse, and a Rhode Island Red chicken—running alongside a human racer. Capturing the unique character and charm of Little Compton, the shirt exemplifies the race’s tradition of creating distinctive, themed artwork each year.
The ultimate post-run motivation: Gray's Ice Cream AND Margaret's Corner Cones on the sponsor list!
Flipping the shirt over reveals a snapshot of the local community from two decades ago. The back is crowded with the names of hometown staples that made the race possible, featuring stalwarts like Humphrey Building Supply, Country Woolens, Country & Coastal Properties, and Dennis Talbot Construction. It’s a fun trip down memory lane, dotted with familiar names like BankNewport, Spinnaker Real Estate, Gray's Ice Cream, KSBI, Peckham's Greenhouse, and even Clif Bar. There are also a few landmarks that anchor the shirt firmly in 2006—like Margaret's Corner Cones, and banks we used to visit under different names, including Sovereign Bank and Citizens-Union Savings Bank (just before it became BayCoast).
