Fun fact: when we launched ROAD iD, the FIXX iD was the first—and only—ID we offered. Named for running legend Jim Fixx, it’s our lightweight, reliable, durable classic—ready for any run, ride, or “let’s-see-where-this-goes” adventure. Think of it as a military dog tag with a glow-up: matte-finish, jewelry-quality, and unmistakably ROAD iD. Each FIXX ID rides on an adjustable 27 in (68.5 cm) stainless-steel bead chain. Most importantly, it puts life-saving info around your neck, so you get real peace of mind—every day.

The FIXX ID
Back in 1999, the FIXX ID was the first (and only) ID we offered. Our take on the classic military dog tag design, these are still one of the world's most recognizable forms of identification. And thankfully, after a brief hiatus, they’re back and better than ever! The FIXX ID tag now features a sleek, matte finish for improved legibility, 7 lines of text, and a more durable design that just might save your neck one day.
How the FIXX got its name and notch: The All-True Story Behind the FIXX ID Dog Tag
Give a custom ID tag to someone in your life or get one for yourself that you can wear as a necklace, attach to your backpack, or fasten to any other important belongings. When you’re traveling alone or exercising alone, the IDs can help in the event you’re injured or in need of medical attention.
With 7 lines of clear text, you can list contact numbers, food or drug allergies, and other important medical information.
Our ID tags have the classic, cool vibe of military dog tags. These can also easily pass for pet tags for your four-legged friends, but for that specific purpose, we have developed pet ID tags and collars for cats and dogs. Keep your dog’s tags jingle-free with our Dog iD tags.
Note: Image options are emblazoned on the opposite side. Chain length is 27 inches.
FAQ + resources
One size fits all. The FIXX iD comes on a 27 in (68.5 cm) stainless steel bead chain—generous enough for big heads and even bigger hair (trust me). To shorten the chain, remove it from around your neck (safety first), cut with wire cutters (or sturdy scissors), and reattach the connector. Pro tip: Trim a little, test, repeat.
Sure, FIXX is short and catchy, but this product has a powerful namesake: Jim Fixx. Jim was a writer and fitness guru who is credited with sparking a running craze in the late ’70s and early ’80s. His best-selling book, The Complete Book of Running, encouraged countless people to lace up and hit the road.
Tragically, Fixx suffered a fatal heart attack while out for a solo run without identification. He was found by a passing motorist and later identified by a nearby business owner. We’re inspired by his spirit and legacy, and we think outfitting as many runners as we can with an emergency ID is a small way to honor his legacy.
The notch in the ID is a direct nod to the dog tag used by the U.S. military from the ’40s through the early ’70s. Originally, these notches had a strictly utilitarian purpose: they held the tags in place while they were embossed with a soldier’s identifying information. We’ve included it in our design as a tribute to all veterans.
