Wristbands for marathons, schools and colleges

Races, sports days and fests have the same problem: a lot of people who all look alike from a distance. A band in the right colour sorts them before anyone reads a name.

What the band does

What sports, schools and colleges use wristbands for.

Race waves and categories

Start waves, 5K and 10K and half marathon, each a colour the marshals see at a glance.

Refreshment counts

A band per finisher at the recovery area keeps the count honest.

Schools and camps

House colours, bus groups and parent-child matching numbers on trips and annual days.

College fests

Day passes and pro-show access for outside students.

Setting it up

Colour by group, number by person

  • Colour shows the group; the number identifies the person.
  • For children, match the child’s band number to the parent’s.
  • Ship to the school or the race office, with a count per colour on the packing note.
