8. Display Your Number
Can I have your number?—Put your race number or bib on the front of your body. Don’t fold it up, make it as small as possible and pin it to your shorts. If your chip isn’t working sometimes your bib number is the only way to get a race time through photos. Some people debate if they really need number any more, but people still want them as a memento and it can help when a chip fails.

Linzay Logan is the copy editor for Competitor magazine and cares about punctuation probably a little too much. She particularly loves to avoid commas as well as add exclamation points whenever she can get away with it! She also loves to run marathons and half-marathons—probably a little too much. Don’t let her small size fool you; she’ll still try to outrun you anytime. Even though chances are she probably can’t.
