Bloomsday volunteers prep finisher T-shirts to mail across the world

Bloomsday volunteers were fairly consistent Friday morning with packing finisher t-shirts for the 22,301 people registered for this year's 12k race. While the shirts are typically distributed after the finish line, the nature of Bloomsday Worldwide – a virtual event due to COVID-19 concerns – necessitated a mailing process.
