Still do.  If you put "Guy runners" into google you'll get plenty of options, from the very basic to some quite needlessly complex, from aluminium to glow in the dark plastic...

My faves as they can be really useful for finding the tensioner (runner), picking out the lines at night to avoid tripping, even spotting the tent when returning from toilet runs. Tip: For the latter, charge them at bedtime with your flashlight or headlight and they'll glow extra-bright all night.

Best, Dan.
