I'd like to invest in a decent runner's belt since I'm going to up my distance and participate in a few more races. I'd like something with water bottles, a pocket that will fit my iphone and a place to hold my race bib (I loathe pinning those things to my shirts). Any suggestions? I'm a smallish framed female if that helps. Thanks guys!

    i like fuel belt, but i don't think i saw a fuel belt with something to hold your race bib.. i guess you can pin it to the belt... i train with a belt but won't race with a belt, but that is me...

    I'd watch as well, some races will limit the kind of thing you can wear... But if it's a local race I don't see it being too much of a problem.

    It seems for the fuel belt you can buy "Race Number Attachment" which of course is extra.

    Thanks guys. I'm just doing local type races so I'm pretty sure it's all gravy. It's also for me to wear when I go on solo runs outside. Hubby wants to make sure I have my phone for safety sake.

    I use a camelback. Comes in handy for running / biking or hiking.

    The Nathan Speed 2 Waistpack is my bestie for long runs these days. Holds two 10-oz flasks (if you want more you can go with the Nathan Speed 4R, which has four flasks), has a nifty pocket that fits my HTC Incredible quite well (it's about the same size as an iPhone), plus a snap attachment for keys on the inside. Comes in a few different colors. I love it!

    EDIT: Oh, and I'd suggest buying the size that would fit closer to your hips rather than your waist--that's what I did and I find it a lot more comfortable in that location.
