How do you pin your number on your running top/vest and what is the best way ? 

Is it a pin in each corner ?  One on top and 2 below At the sides ?

I go for 1 safety pin in each corner.

One in each corner - but it can be a bit tricky to get it right if you have lady bumps

pin in each corner.

If you feel a sharp pain in your skin, you've done it wrong.

Screamapillars tends to make mountains out of molehills though

Well she has to .....

Does no-one else secure it to their vest before putting it on? Saves a lot of inadvertent stabbing.

get a racebelt, only a few quid and you'll never have to bother with pins again. Some racebelts can hold gels too.

I just assumed the way people were talking about it on another thread that the topic was open to debate by anyone.

+1 for number belts.

Doesn't the bottom of the number flap around if it's windy? Otherwise they look good.

belts?

safety pins were fine in cycling events i did but it was raining in my 10k and i didn't want to puncture running coat or my lovely long sleeve top  - i am vain 

most people had their jackets on and you couldn't see their numbers  - i guess they thought the same about puncturing their waterproofs - well they're not entirely waterproof really

Literatin - no - your speed keeps it from flapping really.
17/03/2013 at 22:13

Ah okay, maybe your speed does...

I might get one and try it though. My last race I forgot to bring any safety pins and was staying with my parents, and all my mum could find in her whole house was two GIANT-sized knitting safety pins and two tiny little ones from clothes labels. I was lucky we could muster four of any size really.
