Forums >Off the Beaten Path>bib numbers
I had a very cool bib number today: 6396. Am I the only person who gets bizarrely excited about bib numbers? I think this one is right up there with 666 and 767 on my all time list of best numbers I've had.
aaaand now that I just typed that out, I kind of can't believe I am 38 and still having these thoughts, as it sounds like the inner monologue of a seriously dorky 13 year old, so apparently I haven't changed much in the last 25 years. Help me out here, anyone else a bib number fan? Are you jealous of 6396 or what??

I was excited to get bib number 001, when it happened once.

Yeah, I'm a bib number geek as well, and given that I'm 19 years older than you, I guess I'm even dorkier that that 13 year old.
FWIW, my favorite bib number was 340 (my favorite small-block Chrysler motor from the 1960s and 1970s); yeah, I'm a car geek as well.

Got a number 13 once. Not a bad run, not my best but not bad.

For my very first race, a 5k, I got #1. Last weekend at a half marathon, my running partner was #69. Between us & both of our husbands, I was impressed with how few derogatory comments were made!
Make it so, #1.
Haha, NO!

I got 350 for a bib number in a half marathon in 2012. Also my Half Fanatic number. I remember being very excited.
I just had 2112. And I HATE Rush.

Where's Trent with #-1?
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
All right, fine. I'll be the one to ask: What's so special about 6396?
Imagine if you got 123!
