Definitely take the vest! I used all the water stations on my full marathon and had my water bottle as a backup and I needed it.

Is this a joke? It’s only 13 road miles, that’s way too short a distance to wear a vest.

Run the race the way you trained. There may not always be a water station when you want water.

I run 10Ks and half marathons with a handheld. Nathan 20oz for half, 14oz for 10K. Aid stations gross me out (where have those cup handing people been putting their hands) and I generally choke on the water or it runs down my face and all over my shirt. Running is BYOB in my world. 😂

take the vest and only use it if you need it between stations.. take all refreshments from the stations and rely on your vest if you REALLY need it. and also to hold your fueling

Nothing new on race day! You play how you practice. I’ve done half marathon, full marathon and even a half Ironman. I’m a firm believer in nothing new on race day.

The last 10 mi race I did ran out of water at the station after the biggest incline. I was grateful I had my handheld (I have one with a pouch for my fuel, so that's all I took.)

Check the course map. If they don’t have a water station every mile or so, bring a vest!

i ran my race with a vest, but could've totally just did it with a belt. I used the water stations but also had my own water in vest which was nice and carried some gels and chapstick. i'm an over packer lol

Ditch the vest, use the water station and just wear a belt for your gels/phone

Just practice grabbing and pinching the cup to drink :) and you’ll be good with leaving the vest at home :)

I’ve ran with and without! I felt like my vest weighed me down. But if you have trained all of your runs with the vest, stick with it on race day! Also helps to map out how many aid stations there are before you decide

Depends on the scope. Smaller organized marathons… bring it. Bigger ones? Leave it. Aid can be lacking in mom& pop ones n

I’ve never tried a vest but I just did my first half and wished I would’ve brought a handheld bottle! The aid stations took me a minute to figure out so I def didn’t drink enough for the first part of the race! I would say do what you’re used to!!!

I use a 22 ounce Nathan water bottle. It’s perfect for electrolytes and has a pocket for my gels. You can always refill it at the aid stations. 🙂

I trained with and ran my first half marathon with a vest. It was great - held my phone, gels and salt tabs. But I found wasn’t drinking the water from my vest, I was using the aid stations. So for my next half, I’m trying a belt to hold all the things without packing water

I was worried about not bringing my vest but for me it was amazing to be able to run without it and use the stations. Do what you feel is best for you! Good luck!

So I just ran my second half marathon with my vest and I will say I just wanted it off after. I was contemplating the same thing! Because the first marathon I ran, I did it with my belt and I liked it. I just thought oh I could fit water, which is why I wore the vest Lol I’m so sorry this isn’t probably as helpful but I think my next race I’m gonna use just my Lululemon fast and free belt and stick with the water station💖 but honestly do what makes you the most comfortable I would say maybe just try it out this time around lol good luck to you😎🥳
