Do you guys bring your phones out to a half-marathon to communicate with people afterwards? I don't particularly want to run with it ... but what's the alternative? Put it in gear check and hope it's there later? Armband it? Leave it at home?
Maybe I should find a bar with one of those phone storing devices ...
How far is the finish line from your car? Why can't you just leave it in your car. Who do you need to communicate with? How far away is your car from the finish line?
I have put mine in bag check for larger races but there is a risk in that. I believe the last time I done that I used an older phone I still had laying around the house and swapped SIM cards. If I lost the phone, no big deal, just get a new SIM card.
Don't carry it. No reason for that at all.
