Park runners, what do you do with your barcode when you're running?

I've laminated it, it fits nicely in the small pocket at the back of my shorts, along with the car key.

ditto.

That's my ritual as well.

I don't have pockets so I pop it in a plastic pocket that attaches to a lanyard

I have laminated mine and it goes in the pocket at the back of my runnning shorts /tights

Forgot to mention that I read on our local parkrun(bromely) facebook page that someone had sent off and got their barcode on a tag (like the timing chips for races) that can then be tied to your trainer...barcode is then never forgotten

[redsheep Graduate in reply to AliB1]

Oooh, these sound like what I'm after. The pocket on my shorts is tiny - my key just about fits in! I'll have to look into it.

[totalbeginner Graduate]

yes these cost £2.50 apparently there is a link on the parkrun website somewhere, also somebody posted on here awhile ago a company called icetags will do them including personal contact details for £5

i just put it in the pocket at the back of my trousers - though it only just fit in

[redsheep Graduate in reply to totalbeginner]

The tags sound like a good idea, but I think I should check the size first. I thought it was going to be quite large, but maybe not if it fits in a tag!

I've got mine on an icetag (not that I've been brave enough to actually run a parkrun yet, but still...)

I like this idea! Although I've laminated barcode, its still big and this looks a great alternative ~ thanks for the link

[Minuette Graduate in reply to tantrumbean]

Ordered one yesterday, thank you!

[Oldgirl Graduate]

I have a belt with pocket in it which holds my barcode/car key/Ipod and a couple of all important tissues.

[Minuette Graduate]

I have a little pocket with a zip in the back of my running skirt which I put my barcode in, but yesterday I ordered an icetag which I'll use in the future.
