Instructions – RouteArrows.com

Like the Label on Every Roll of RouteArrows Says, “Please Remove RouteArrows from Trails, Paths and Pedestrian Areas After Your Event, Thank You!”

Removing RouteArrows in those areas is seen as being considerate of the local community, which will have a positive impact. Use these easy removal methods to simplify and speed up the process, and have your event welcomed back!

INTACT RouteArrows : are undamaged, only exposed to little, if any, traffic.
WORN RouteArrows : are well pressed into pavement, damaged by traffic, etc.

Pro Tip: Do This While Route Marking / RemovingRouteArrowsRight After Event!*

Fold under ¼ inch of the RouteArrow tip creating a “Tab to Grab” to make it easier to peel them off the pavement after your event.
* Do this when removing INTACT RouteArrows immediately after your event. This method won’t work well with WORN / OLD (2+ days) RouteArrows.

RouteArrows Removal Methods: The Removal Team should prepare for removing both INTACT and WORN RouteArrows.

Method 1: Best when removing INTACT RouteArrows immediately after your event, and when you only have a FEW (<15?) RouteArrows to remove.

Use fingers and/or a metal tool to peel/lift them off, from tip to tail.
Easier when RouteArrows have “Tab to Grab”! (See Pro Tip Above)

Method 2: Best when removing MANY (15+)RouteArrows - especially WORN, OLD (2+ days), well-stuck, damaged RouteArrows . (See our YouTube video)

Use water and a wire brush to easily dissolve and destroy them. Get the arrow wet, then brush it into mush, and rinse away residue.

Bring refillable 1-5 gal jugs (Est. 25+ Arrows/gal) & squeezable bike water bottles are great for wetting the arrows!

Method 3: Best when you only need to remove a FEW (<15?) RouteArrows

Use 3in wide Gorilla brand tape / strong adhesive tape to lift arrows off.

NaN / of-Infinity

Storage of Unused RouteArrows:

After your event(s), you might have leftover partially used rolls of RouteArrows that you want to use at your next event!

The RouteArrows adhesive may weaken slightly over time if left out in the open.

Therefore it's a good idea to store your RouteArrows in a 1 gallon Zip-Loc™ bag to help maintain the adhesive for your next event.

Calculating Partial Rolls of "Leftover" RouteArrows

If you have a Gram Scale

A full / unused roll of RouteArrows weigh 845 grams.

The 3” cardboard core weighs 45 grams.

So, the 250 RouteArrows weigh 800 grams!

Therefore, each RouteArrow (plus its backing paper) weighs 3.2 grams!

Use this equation to find the number of RouteArrows remaining on your roll:

X (your partial roll of RouteArrows weight in grams) minus 45 (weight of core) equals Y (weight of your Arrows without core)

X – 45 = Y

Y ÷ 3.2 grams = Z (# of Arrows remaining)

Example:

If your partial roll weighs 253 grams, subtract 45 grams = 208 grams.

Divide 208 by 3.2 = 65 RouteArrows left for your next event!

If you have an Ounce Scale

If you have an Ounce Scale:

A full roll of RouteArrows weigh about 29.5 oz.

The 3” cardboard core weighs 1.5 oz, so 250 RouteArrows weigh 28 oz!

Therefore, each RouteArrow (plus its backing paper) weighs 0.112 oz.

Use this equation to find the number of RouteArrows remaining on your roll:

X (your partial roll of RouteArrows weight in ounces) minus 1.5 (weight of core) equals Y (weight of your Arrows without core)

X – 1.5 = Y

Y ÷ 0.112 = Z (the number of remaining RouteArrows!)

Quick Delivery. Very Easy to use. Our runners love seeing them out on the course and they are easy to remove after the event. Once they get wet or damp they are hard to remove with your fingers but they dissolve quickly with traffic and rain. We buy them every year for our races.

Ive been using Route Arrows to mark the course for my cycling event (719 Ride) since 2020. I place arrows on the asphalt and also use their route signs. They are easy to use, easily seen, and I consistently get compliments about how well marked the courses are. I also appreciate how quickly the arrows disintegrate because of traffic and weather after the event. The biodegradable nature of the product makes this valuable to me. I highly recommend supporting this family business.

Ive seen Route Arrows used on major bicycle events like Cycle Oregon, Ride Idaho, Sequoia, many others. The decisions by these events managers to use Route Arrows are based on safety, ease of use, and ease of recovery. The route marking teams love how quickly they can complete the task and how easily the arrows adhere to pavement; color-coded Route Arrows will keep all participants on their assigned routes; and post-event cleanup is a snap. Ive been on some route marking crews. No question: route Arrows are much safer, faster, and more convenient than chalk, spray paint, or signs.

I love using these arrows for events on hard surfaces. They are easy to put down, easy to see for participants and dont permanently mark the courses. The color variety lets me mark multiple courses on the same roads and seem to be easy to follow for participants. Rain can be your enemy for setup, so youll want to lay them down on a dry day. Ive had success with them dissolving over time after the event or I collect the arrows that are in low traffic areas. I use these arrows instead of paint/chalk for marking courses. Great product.

Great product for the purpose. We have been using Route Arrows for our organizations bike ride/fundraiser for many years now. They have generally worked great for us. A couple quick thoughts. Of course, they work best under dry conditions. One year, it had just rained before putting them down and adherence was not as great. Also best to pick them up when they are not wet or damp and as soon as possible after the event. They come up quite easily if picked up soon and when it is dry. Otherwise, removal can become more challenging. Also, when putting the arrows down, I recommend bending the front point of the arrow under a fraction of an inch to make it easier to get a finger nail or knife under the rout arrow and start picking it up.

Purchased the route arrows to use for the Tell City Half Marathon that Everbodys Fitness sponsors each year, 2nd Saturday in April. The city frowned on us painting directional arrows on the streets and these are a great alternative as they wear off. We use them to direct the runners where to turn by placing 2-3 arrows prior to the turn and also some intersections where they will go straight. We have found the Route Arrows to be a great asset for marking the route.

We use the route arrows for a purpose in which they were not originally intended, land surveying targets. They work great! The adhesion is perfect; sticky enough to be secure, but not too sticky to allow for a clean removal once the job is complete.

Fantastic product & great company! Weve been using route arrows for our bike ride fundraiser for the past 5 years and its been the perfect product. Super simple to lay down, very effective at marking routes, and washes away on its own. Their website is great and provides helpful info on how to lay down the arrows and how to estimate how many youll need and how many are left of the roll. The rolls are a bit expensive, but well worth it. They last a really long time too- weve had some rolls for 5 years and theyre still super sticky and effective. Shipping is fast. Cant recommend this product and company enough- you wont be disappointed!
