Dear Mitchells Plain parkrun , another friendly reminder:
π’ Why your parkrun barcode really matters π’
Your parkrun barcode is more than just a way to get a result β itβs an essential part of keeping parkrun safe for everyone.
π No barcode = no result
This is a global parkrun policy. If you donβt bring your barcode, we unfortunately canβt record your time or position. So please remember it every week β printed, on your phone, or on a wristband. At our parkrun, you can request us to print it for you if you don't have access to a printer, please speak to the Run Director and we will gladly assist.
π¨ Your barcode also holds vital ICE information
Your barcode links to your In Case of Emergency (ICE) details. If something were to happen during a parkrun, this information helps volunteers and medical professionals contact the right person quickly. That can make a huge difference when it matters most.
β Prefer a more durable option?
parkrun bands are available to purchase online at www.parkrunid.co.za β a convenient, waterproof way to make sure you always have your barcode with you.
β
Please take a moment to check your ICE details
Make sure your emergency contact information is up to date and accurate on your parkrun profile. It only takes a minute, but itβs incredibly important.
Bring your barcode. Update your ICE details. Help us keep parkrun safe, fun, and inclusive for everyone. π
