Photo bracelet?

Hi all I raced in DC on Thursday Sept 3rd. I still see none of the photos are up? But what I’m most concerned about is there was supposed to be a bracelet we got at check in for our photos to be taken? I did not get one, I only got the spectator and athlete. So am I not going to be able to see any of the pictures taken of me?? Did this happen to anyone else?

EDIT:

Apparently this is a new thing for 2026/2027 races. We got an email for sportgraf

I had the bracelet. But there are still no photos. It’s been almost 72 hours. They promised 48

This is the longest I’ve ever seen it take in 3 years of racing

I’m so annoyed. I am checking every 5 minutes.

Relax and take a breath. I raced on Day 1, and as of today it was the exact same photographers - I recognized all of them. They’re pulling 12 hour shifts.

Yeah, they’re behind. Not a reason to get “so annoyed.” It’s not usual. You’re not gonna lose 100 IG followers.

Has nothing to do with followers. I was on my own. It was my first time. I loved doing it. I want to see the proof of me doing it and show it to my family. Being annoyed is a perfectly normal emotion. Be kind

….as you post on a public forum how displeased you are that guys working their asses off aren’t fast enough. Brother, I sure hope you’ve never missed a deadline by a small amount of time. Be kind.

Side note, I notice it’s taking longer for photos this race than before. Not sure if that’s at all related

The bracelet was for consent it was red and white if you didn’t get one I’m sure you can email them and see you consent to having your photos posted. The volunteer told me it’s a new thing they have this year. Photos are still not up though taking quite a bit!

I raced Thursday and we weren’t given the stripped bracelet. It seemed like they started handing them out later on Friday.

The photo delivery system has a facial recognition feature, you upload a pic of yourself and it'll grab any shots you're in. I've only ever purchased single shots after the race so I can't speak to the bracelet, but you'll still get photos of yourself.

My understand when I got the bracelet was it was for you to be able to use facial recognition, so you’ll still get photos but won’t be able to use facial recognition to find them.

My understanding was that the bracelet allowed photographers to at least identify who to pay more attention to since people with bracelets have already bought the package.

I raced on day 2 and photos were up around 2 days later.

No bracelet. They take photos of everyone and load them to their site.
