Bib Boards
We have our own BibBoards! Pick up a pair while registering for $12!
What are BibBoards?
BibBoards have a flat smooth surface that will not chafe or rub on the skin. A second piece works by pushing part of the garment into a recess, providing a secure fit. When the event is over, they pop off. BibBoards can be reused, and their special shape holds down a bib MORE secure without the fuss or holes.
