K&Rs Mom 526 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 What do you do with your stuff during a race? I can leave my wallet in the car, but do I have my keys jingling in my pocket? It's not a competitive race, just a family fun 5K, but it's on a night dh is traveling so just me & dc. If dc were older, I wouldn't even be in it, just meet them at the finish - running is not my sport of choice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristyB in TN 510 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Take the car key off your key ring and tie it into the laces of your shoe. Leave the rest of the keys in the car. Have fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nina560 10 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Phone in my shorts pocket, headphones attached an in my ears. Keys in my back pocket. Everything else I leave in my car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unscripted 10 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I tie my key fob to my shoe lace. My actual ignition key is pretty long and flops everywhere on my shoe. I used to remove the one key and slide it in my iPod armband thingy- behind the phone. But I don't use a shell on my phone anymore- and I worry about damaging it somehow doing that now.

tennislady29 10 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 When I'm not there to carry DH's keys, he uses the safety pin they give you at the race to pin the number and his car key to his shirt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K&Rs Mom 526 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thanks, everyone! Taking just that one key or clicker-thing off is a good idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NorthwestMom 4,407 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Frequently there will be a "gear check" area where they will give you a bag to put in extra jackets, keys, whatever. They will mark it with your race number and you can pick up your bag after the race. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twinmami01 150 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I got one of these: http://www.spibelt.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Munchkins_mama 17 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I second the SPIBelt. I wear one when I run and it doesn't bounce at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
