Park Run barcode

Help! I'm planning on doing the first run of week 9 at Park Run tomorrow, but I can't remember what I've done with my barcode - it is 3 years since I've done Park Run! Or is it all online now?? Should I have a barcode on my phone?

You can find your number online and then log in and reprint your barcode.

You may have an old email with results or when you first signed up; that would have your parkrun number in it (beginning with an A then 7 numbers).

Alternatively, if you go to the results tab on the webpage for the last parkrun you did, go all the way down to the final option 'search', and then enter your name then your id will be shown. If there is more than one person with your name at your parkrun you may have to keep selecting until you find the right one!

Once you have your id you can sign in to your parkrun account parkrun.com/signin/ and reprint your bar code

Also if you have a Garmin watch you might be able to install the "parkrun barcode" app which will show a barcode on your watch screen. (Tap/click again for a QR code, which is bigger and easier for the readers to scan.)

I’d recommend the 5k app for your phone. It will give you all your PR stats and a store a digital barcode for you. Happy PR!

This will start off sounding off topic, but bear with me......

I have a loyalty card app on my phone (tesco, sainburys etc), the one I use is Stocard (likely others are available), I've added my parkrun barcode to that.

Other than that, iphones can add to wallet (probably androids as well); and another vote for the 5k app. If it's the one I'm thinking of you can search for and follow other athletes, which means you can keep the whole family's barcodes on your phone as well. Some look strange as they generate QR codes rather than barcodes, but they all work.

There's also the "parkrunner" app (by Chris Hopkin).
