Have no connection with the product or campaign, but what do people think about using magnets to hold race numbers in place, or anything like this on the market?

personally I would be concerned of them getting knocked off and losing them.

Sounds like an expensive gadget to solve a problem which doesnt really exist.

Safety pins work fine for me.

Yeah tbh, I have never had the problems that the creator describes.

Only had this discussion during the week. Was at a race nearly 4 years ago in Spain which had these (not magnetic though you just clipped the two pieces together through your top)

Was a fantastic idea as my club singlet has a few puncture wounds over the years (refuse to give up the old design of the single and buy one of the newer club ones) but I don't think there is a market for this unless you can convince race directors to buy instead of the more cost effective safety pins.

If you put them on your ear lobes they make you 10% faster - Fact!

Race belt works fine & carries a couple of gels too.

I use them (not that exact brand but something similar) all the time now for races as I was sick of making holes in my “lucky” running tops!! I quiet like them but I find they can be annoying to put on when my running top is on, so I just put the magnets on now on a flat surface. I have been using them now for the past 6 months and i havnt lost them yet.

I use stick on velcro dots sometimes, which do a similar job..
