Running gear, what do you use to pack stuff?

Where do you pack your phone, gu, camera? I see a lot of blogs with race photos and wonder where they pack them. 

 

Re: Running gear, what do you use to pack stuff?

  • For most of my races I've used a SPIbelt + my fuel belt which has 2 smaller pockets on it.  This gives me plenty of room for gels, kleenex, my phone, etc., but there's no way I'd have enough room for a camera, so my guess is people either carry them in their hands or they're using their phones to take pictures.

  • I don't run with a phone or camera, especially at a race. Well, I did once, but it was my first marathon and my phone (with camera) was way smaller than what I have now.

    My running shorts/capris/pants have ample pockets, or I wear a Banjees wrist wallet.

  • For a short race, I don't carry any of that stuff, but I suppose if I needed my phone, I would wear a spibelt. 

    For HMs I wear my own fuel belt, so I can stuff my phone into one of the spots that is meant for a small bottle, and I put my Chomps into one of the zippered pouches. I've never run with a camera, and I only run with a phone if I think I'll have trouble meeting up with DH at the end (which so far has only been after the NYC Half with 15000+ runners).

  • I just bought this - stuff your bra tank to hold my phone while running.  The arm bands I've tried annoy me and I am now hooked on using an app to track my distance and pace so I always bring it with me.  I've only used the tank once so far but I love it.  It held the phone in place perfectly.  There's a ton of space for other stuff too.  It looks a little awkward, but so convenient.

  • For a long run, I carry a water  bottle with a little holder for gu.  I can refill at one of the many springs along the way.

    For a race, I leave my stuff in the car.  I don't know why people run with a camera, or even a phone.  I will carry gu in my pockets, but that's it.  I take water on the course.
