And I didn't hear the RD ask if anyone was reaching a milestone, because my hearing is rubbish and I wasn't even trying to listen. I did send off for the tee shirt, though.

This was stopped just before I reached my 50th, and shirts started going straight to the runner.

I tail walked my 250th run to also get my 25th volunteer. I made a party hat to wear and walked round with a party whistle! I also had to wear our parkrun milestone capes (yes two of them)! I took some homebaked cakes as it was also 2 days before my 50th birthday. But I would say do what you feel comfortable with.
