Best Running Tip: The Magnetic Race Number Hack

With the Olympics coming up this summer, we’re all inspired to get into running and push our limits. In the realm of competitive racing, be it a marathon, triathlon, or a local charity run, every participant proudly sports a race number. Traditionally, these numbers are affixed using safety pins or paperclips. While functional, these methods pose challenges. Enter magnets – the contemporary, efficient solution to this age-old dilemma.

While magnets are user-friendly, here are some tips for an optimal experience:

  • Prioritise Quality: Invest in high-quality magnets specifically designed for race numbers, typically neodymium magnets known for their strength.
  • Strategic Placement: Position magnets at all four corners of the race number to ensure it remains flat and secure.
  • Practice Makes Perfect: Familiarise yourself with magnet attachment during training runs to streamline the process on race day.
