The Best Running Belts for Carrying Your Phone, Money, and More

Our editors independently select the products we recommend. We may earn a commission on items bought through our links. Packing for a regional flight on Spirit Airlines and a lengthy run, anywhere, involve a similar set of guidelines: carry as little as possible but be sure to bring the essentials (phone, keys, wallet), as well as energizing snacks and liquids to stay hydrated.
