VeloChampion Running Waistpack Belt – Elastic Stretch Fit with Clip Fastening for Triathlon, Marathon, Cycling & Race Number Holder

I've done a lot of long distance hiking and distance running on my own, but never an organized long distance race before. The only other time in my life I had run an official organized race was when I did a turkey trot a couple years ago, and I remember strongly disliking having to attach the bib to my race top with safety pins because it meant poking holes in my moisture-wicking gear. Additionally the safety pins barely held the bib in place and it got all crinkled up and unrecognizable by the end of the event. This past month I decided to attempt my top bucket list item: run an ultramarathon. About 2 days before the race I flashed back to my experience with the 15K turkey trot and realized that I didn't want to run an entire 50K with a bib safety-pinned to my nice technical running shirt. I quickly jumped on Amazon and found this belt, which I ordered on Prime and received less than 24 hours before race. Total game changer. It's funny how something seemingly so insignificant can have such an outsized, positive effect.The belt itself was a little challenging to adjust when I first got it in the mail, but once I had it adjusted to what I wanted prior to the race that thing stayed put. It didn't loosen, it didn't droop, it didn't shift, it didn't get in my way, it didn't do that annoying thing most running belts do where they rotate around on your hips until they're facing backwards. It didn't move AT ALL during the race. Quite frankly I forgot I was wearing it because it was so comfortable. I did exactly as advertised: it kept my bib firmly attached to my midsection. That's quite a feat considering I was running 31.4 miles in ankle-deep sand and gravel in the Mojave desert. I finished the race with the race bib looking fantastic and my running outfit hole-free.In the grand scheme of things a belt to hold your racing bib can feel bit extra. But not punching holes in your nice running shirts/shorts/pants makes it totally worth it. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Works great, had slight chafing and rubbing issues with it while running, but could likely be fixed by tightening it.

Easy to use & good quality!Way better than trying to stick pins through your clothes or make sure your bib number is even.

Simple, solid and reliable.Small gripes include that the bib holding section is a little too small for my bibs (especially the NYRR bibs!) and the bib holders are a bit too narrow, but for the better as they hold gels and other nutrition very snug. Very functional for races for gels.Easy fit around the waist, and works perfectly for road races and triathlons. Would recommend.

Originally I bought this to use a hands free dog leash holder (adding belt attachments); however that plan didn't go far due to the design and how light that it is, and that is also a compliment because that was what it was designed for. There's still a few local 5K races I hope to train then attend to get my image out there. This product allows me to wear my number without interfering with my pace or rhythm like it was never there, and I still have dreams about completing a marathon. Very easy to store and keep clean, until the time comes again for the races...

I'm never bothering with bib magnets or pins ever again.

Useful and now I don’t tear up my running clothes due to the pins.

Absolutely love this for hanging a race bib. No more safety pin holes in my nice tops
