2026 Manchester Road Race

An American Tradition

Bib Distribution

Bibs and Runner Timing

  • Every participant must wear their MRR bib!
  • A MYLAPS Bib Tag is permanently attached to the back of every bib
  • Bibs must be worn just above your navel
  • Bibs must be visible as you cross the Start and Finish Lines
  • Do not fold or crumple your bib as it could damage the timing tag and affect your results
  • Do not exchange bibs with anyone - doing so could disqualify both runners and will affect the integrity of the race results

Bib Distribution

Bibs mailed: The mailing of bibs will be an option, elected by the runner and costing an additional fee of $20.

  • To have your bib mailed, you must register by November 1 and select the mailing option.
  • If you do not select the mailing option and circumstances change, you may update your registration and opt-in for the mailed option before November 1, by accessing your account profile on Race Roster.
  • Once selected, you cannot opt-out. Bibs identified for mailing will not be recalled for in-person pick-up.
  • Multiple bibs (up to five), when purchased during the same transaction and which all have the same shipping address, will be bundled for a single charge. This applies to both mailings purchased during registration and mailings purchased after the registration.
  • Bibs will be printed, prepped and processed for mailing beginning mid-late October and continuing through the first part of November.
