race number

Pinned chest tag

A race number is the numeral assigned to a competitor in a race, typically displayed on a bib, jersey, or vehicle: She pinned her race number to her shirt before the marathon.

Race numbers identify participants for timing systems, officials, and spectators.

In motorsports, drivers often become associated with their numbers across seasons.
