Hey folks - I am trying to put on a local event. I need a cost effective yet professional way to mark the start and finish line plus directional arrows on the pavement. I want the markings to be temporary.
Any suggestions from the ST gallery? I’ve seen chalk plus some weird stickers as options. Anyone know the name of the stickers? Also, does chalk work?
As a raceer I like to see the stickers or cones on the course. Chalk is fine but can smear and wash away. How many entrants are you expecting?
Spray chalk should do it. Temporary but not 10minutes temporary, more like a month or so.
yes, spray chalk (also called marking paint) from hardware stores is best bet. it usually degrades in sunlight after a month or so. But it can also be scrubbed off the road/sidewalk if it’s an issue to leave it on after the race
We will have flags for start and finish.
I am really interested in the tape that can be put on and easily removed after the race. I want to leave no trace. Anyone know the name of the company that does that? I’ve seen some arrows on the road that are stickers and they had the name of the company (marathon something?) but can’t find it on the web.

Google “Event-trac Asphalt Decals”
Those guys do asphalt decals, might be an option. Not sure on cost yet… We’re putting on an event as well, and this option came up, haven’t checked details though.

Event trac seems like a good option. Thanks.
