Proper Bib Placement
Correct Bib# Placement: on the FRONT OF TORSO!
The photos on RunSignUp will be easily searchable by your name or Bib# as long as your Bib# clearly shows in the photo.
So please take your time to have your Bib# clearly exposed on the FRONT of your chest or abdomen, NOT on your back or on your side!
Remember your photos will be easily searchable by name or bib#, if the bib# clearly shows in the photo!
Finish Line Photos:
For the best-looking Finish Line photos, make sure to keep your head up, arms up, do not look at your watch, and SMILE for the camera!
And try not to get too close behind another runner who may block your photo.
