Build Your Race Kit

• Race Hydration: Lightweight vests, belts, and handhelds that keep water and electrolytes within reach without slowing you down.
• Fuel Storage: Stretch pockets and secure compartments for gels, chews, and essentials over 26.2.
• Soft Flasks & Bottles: Collapsible, easy-access hydration that integrates with your vest or belt.
• Visibility Gear: Reflective details and lights for pre-dawn start lines and early training miles.

Race Gear That Works

Race day rewards efficiency and zero surprises. No-bounce carry, easy-access hydration, and breathable, chafe-free materials keep your focus on pace—not your gear. Everything is built to perform exactly as it did on your long training runs.

When to Use Each Piece

• Training block: Dial in your hydration and fuel setup weeks before race day.
• Half & full marathon: Vests or belts for balanced water, fuel, and gear.
• Shorter races: Handhelds or minimalist belts for fast, lightweight carry.

Fit & Comfort — Dial It In

Never race in untested gear. Choose adjustable, body-contoured designs and soft materials that stay secure and chafe-free across long distances—then train in them first.

FAQ

What should I carry for a marathon?

Hydration you can access on the move, room for fuel, and—if starting early—visibility gear.

Vest or belt for race day?

Vests offer more capacity and stability for full marathons; belts and handhelds suit shorter races and minimalist runners.

Should I race with new gear?

No—always train in your race-day setup so nothing chafes or surprises you on the course.
