Member  41  Wisconsin |  Subject: turning spibelt into race number beltI want to turn my spibelt into a race number belt for my upcoming race. I know you can buy the race belt toggles from spibelt, but this must be simple to do by yourself. Has anybody done it? Can I just pick up what I need from a craft store? Thanks for the help! |

Runner | Subject: RE: turning spibelt into race number belt I agree with Bear, safety pins are quickest and easiest. If you are looking to add those little bungee pieces and the little squeezie lockie thingies, I'm sure you can find them at any craft or sewing supply shop for relatively cheap. You would just have to figure out how to sew them on. |

Pro 4824  Houston | Subject: RE: turning spibelt into race number belt I will never understand why Spibelt has not caught on and done this themselves. I made the suggestion to them 3 years ago. Surely they know people use their belts for races and having the snaps/toggles to hold the number when you bought it would be helpful. |

Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: turning spibelt into race number belt I bought a Spibelt for my marathon in May and it came with the bungies for my race number. They just free floated on the belt though so I looped them through a couple of the GU holder's and it worked fine. Also, Spibelt sells the bungies for $2 https://store.spibelt.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Race+Number+Toggles |

New user 74 | Subject: RE: turning spibelt into race number belt I love my spibelt because it never seems to ride up. But it is strange they didn't include the little snaps, or something for a number.
I bought the little bungies that they sell, but you could find them anywhere. |

Master 2158 | Subject: RE: turning spibelt into race number belt My spibelt came with those little metal clip things that hold the race numbers. Or, I may have pinched them from another belt and put them on my spibelt. Not sure. I have had it for a while. |
