Safety Pin Alternatives For Race Bibs

[jwblane]

Sorry if this has been discussed, but the search function isn't giving any good results.

I have used racedots in the past as an alternative to the safety pins, but I remember that there is something similar at the expos during each race. Does anyone know what the name of the company is that is that the expos?

Reason I am asking, my wife and I are gearing up for the 5k and 10k at DL in a couple weeks and she will need a set, as well as we will each need some for the AWD and AWD Guide bibs for our backs.

Open to good suggestions of other products.

TIA.

I just used BibBoards brand BibSNAPS and they worked fine for the WDW Half Marathon for me. They're basically round plastic snaps and didn't ruin my cotton shirt at all. I do though keep the expo issued safety pins in my running chest pack as a backup for during the race or anyone that I can see that needs them.

I used these this past MW.

I've used bib snaps and bib magnets. Both worked fine.

I used to use something like this

It held my gel packs, etc. and the bib attached to it.

I've used Bib Boards for most of my races and find them easy and effective. I tried the magnets last week and had a hard time getting them just where I wanted them. They did come in handy for holding my two bibs together for the marathon when they had chip timing issues, however.

I tried RaceDots magnets for a while and hated them. Now I just stick to either safety pins or BibBoards.

Scar has had bib magnets the last couple of MW expos. I like them better than Race Dots, because they aren’t quite as heavy and they have a plastic covering. They will still stick to magnetic things if you get too close (corral fences).

I also used BibBoards for several years before I got a set of the Scar magnets last year.

RaceDots work grate for us. I used BibBoards once because I forgot the Dots. The BibBoards sadly marked up my clothes with a permanent indentation.

I love my Race Dots, I've been using them for about 2 years now and never had a problem

A bib belt is the way to go
