taking a race number
There is a big race a bit south of me, every memorial day weekend, it gets 10k runners, it is a 5 mile run in a beautiful NJ shore town. We forgot to sign up this year and won't be running. What happens a bunch with this race is folks get a number way back in Feb, then maybe they realize they can't run (for any number of reasons) so there are folks like me who didn't get a number and would take someone's number and run under their name.

Yeah, if you want to run under your name, then I wouldn't do it. I just don't like taking other's bibs to race in. It just doesn't feel right.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it really matters to me. In my case, it may matter more to the person whose bib I use-- do they was a new PR for the SLOWEST race? ha As long as you know it was you- does it really matter?
ReplyDeleteIf it was a race I really wanted to run in I don't think I would have a problem using someone else's bib. But, for emergency purposes, I would make sure my name and info. were on the bib somewhere in case something happens...you just never know what could happen-ya know?
ReplyDeleteI would want my name!!! lol
ReplyDeleteNo, I'd want to do it under my own name too. Sorry you missed the boat. What shore town, btw? I love to go to Avalon/Stone Harbor.
ReplyDeleteI have never even thought of it before. If they were a really fast runner I would use their name. If they were super slow I would prefer to use mine :)
