How to Securely Pin a Race Bib Without Making Holes or Using Magnets


Running a marathon comes with its own set of challenges—blisters, muscle cramps, and, believe it or not, pinning on your bib without wrecking your gear! Most runners are familiar with safety pins or even magnets for securing their bibs, but both can have downsides. Safety pins can damage your expensive running clothes, while magnets can shift or become uncomfortable. Fortunately, there's a better way to keep your bib securely in place without compromising your gear.

The Solution: BibSNAPS

BibBoards BibSNAPS are a revolutionary alternative to traditional safety pins or magnets. These small, reusable fasteners securely attach your bib to your running gear without poking holes. Here’s why BibSNAPS are the perfect solution:
  1. No Holes, No Hassle: Unlike safety pins, BibSNAPS clip your bib in place without creating any holes in your performance wear. They attach using a push-and-lock mechanism that stays secure, even through the most intense races.
  2. Reusable and Eco-Friendly: Since BibSNAPS are reusable, they’re environmentally friendly. No more tossing safety pins or dealing with disposable magnets after every race!
  3. Easy to Attach and Remove: With BibSNAPS, you simply push the back piece through your shirt and snap the decorative cap on the front. Removing them is just as easy, and they won’t snag your clothes in the process.

How to Use BibSNAPS to Secure Your Race Bib

  1. Place the Bib in the Right Spot: First, align the bib on your chest area where it won’t interfere with your arm movement. Most runners prefer the center of the chest or just below for optimal comfort and visibility.
  2. Insert BibSNAPS: Take the back piece of the BibBoard and gently press it through the fabric, starting at one of the corners of the bib. Make sure the post comes through the fabric completely.
  3. Snap the Front in Place: Once the post is through your shirt and bib, snap the front cap of the BibSNAP onto the post. Repeat this for all four corners of the bib.
  4. Run Worry-Free: That’s it! You’re ready to hit the course. BibSNAPS will keep your bib securely in place without the need for magnets or safety pins.

Why BibBoards BibSNAPS Outshine Magnets and Safety Pins

Comfort: Traditional magnets can shift or dig into your skin during long runs, while safety pins can cause irritation or worse—holes in your favorite gear! BibSNAPS are designed to be comfortable and stay put, no matter how fast or far you run.

Security: BibSNAPS won’t shift, fall off, or poke through your clothes like magnets sometimes do, especially in windy or rainy conditions.

Style: BibBoards come in a variety of colors and designs, allowing you to personalize your race-day look while keeping your bib in place.
