I'm sure you have seen some of these around -- they are oval in shape, self-stick, and say "26.2" on them. Some have a border, others don't. This one is white, with black lettering.

It was a tricky decision as to whether to get the self-stick oval 13.1 sticker, or the self-stick oval 26.2 sticker. In the end, I wanted everyone to realize I had done a 'thon, so I got the 26.2 sticker.

I have seen some people with both a self-stick oval 13.1 sticker, and the self-stick oval 26.2 sticker. That seems repetitive, as anyone who has done a full 'thon has also done a 13.1 mile half 'thon -- twice!

This isn't to be smug, or anything like that. I know there are lots of other 'thoners out there. But now as I drive around, there will be other drivers who will either know that I am part of the 'thoner club, or some drivers who don't know what that self-stick oval 26.2 sticker means. Either way, they'll have something to think about.

Only on letsrun do people make a such a trivial issue so complicated.

The 3.1 sticker on my minivan is cooler.

They should make stickers that say the times instead of the distance, like "4:31:30" or "3:37:56" instead of "26.2". That would get those hobby joggers off of their high horses pretty quick.

might not be a WR, but its still his PB for 26.2 miles

I always wanted to get a '1' sticker, or one that said '13.1.. every sunday'

I'm glad you got the self-stick one. I got the non-self-stick and it sucks having to keep my arm out the window to hold it on.

Ha ha! But I had a harder time. I put mine on the outside of the bus, and everyone thought the driver had done 26.2.

I've run a half marathon, so I put an IRONMAN sticker on my car.

Wow, the OP was clearly trolling, but no one really bit. I guess the proof is in the pudding: 0/10

It's already been established that a true Lets Runner sports a 0.0 sticker.

I do Ironman triathlons and my sticker says: "A 26.2? How cute!"

re: Im lete

Congratulations on completing the marathon, friend! However I think we should all bow down to Mr. Dean Karnanzes, that man is superhuman. His car will say 26.2 - everyday! :)

Dean has a talking car?

I think Haile G should put a 21.285 sticker on the back of his car. Be the bomb.

Yeah, it didn't really come out as well as I hoped.

Well, maybe next time..

re: Charles Nonhomogenous

Maybe you should get a sticker that says "I call us 'thoners".
