Race Day Essentials: The Race Belt

We’ve been talking about all things Bank of America Chicago Marathon for the past few weeks now, and we want to make sure you are ready to go come race day. One essential item that is SUPER helpful during the marathon is a race belt. How else would you carry all your nutrition and other goodies like your phone?

Not only are these belts amazing for racing/running, they can be used for travel, the gym, or for kids to keep things like epi-pens secure.

Nathan Zipster or Hipster

Fitting up to an iPhone 8 plus, the Zipster and Hipster are a go-to for most runners (yes, guys too). Made with a super soft stretch material, the belt is meant to fit snugly around your waist. Minimal bounce is ideal to prevent chafing.
