I am doing a half later next month that will be a cupless coarse. That's a new one for me. What type of hydration systems have you used or would you recommend?

I have something like a camelpak, but I would ideally like something with accessible pockets or something for my gels and chapstick. Ideas?

Thank you in advance.

    When I run that distance outside, I use the generic hydration belt. It has 2 bottles and a pocket that carries tons of stuff. It's perfectly comfortable for me. I believe it was about $40 at a sports store.

    This, a two bottle belt with a small pocket for my ID and some shotblocks. Nathan is a good brand.

    Check out Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross, pretty sure I got mine there for $25. This is the Nathan one I bought from a discount store: http://www.nathansports.com/hydration/hydration-belts/trail-mix-4

    I also like a handheld bottle with a zippered pocket on it, sometimes my belt slides off my hips which gets annoying. This is the handheld I have, I think it was about $15: http://www.nathansports.com/hydration/handhelds/quickdraw-plus

    I have used both the belt and the handheld bottle describe above. I prefer the belt, my husband prefers the handheld bottle. It's a matter of preference.

    I use a Nathan hydration pack. I hate having stuff in my hands. Its worked great up to 50k.

    I love my Nathan handheld bottle!! My waist is too small and hips too wide for the belt not to ride up constantly and annoy the piss out of me!
