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.

- $29.99
- Two zippered, weather-resistant pockets (4 total pockets)
- Hipster
- $24.99
- Individually separated envelope entry pockets keep essentials snug, but easily accessible
FlipBelt Zipper
Several years ago, we couldn’t keep the FlipBelt in stock. The FlipBelt Zipper replaced the original FlipBelt in our assortment and continues to be a best seller.

- Zipper pocket (large enough for iPhone 8 + Samsung Notes) + 3 open access points
- Internal key hook
Amphipod Endurance Plus Pouch
If you already have a hydration belt or another type but need more storage, consider adding the Amphipod Endurance Plus Pouch!

>>ProTip: Secure your bib to your race belt so as not to damage the top you choose to wear for the marathon.
