Half Marathon Hydration pack?
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.
