I am cuz I didnt read all the posts. Something happened to my computer so I only had the first page. Gotta love using12 year old computers at work! :-P
OK, I see the need for a fanny pack and flares. But you guys are kidding about the tent and stove right? Won't all that stuff just slow me down? (Our team is hoping to finish our 5k relay in under 40 minutes.) And does each team member need their own set of flares, or can we hand them off with the baton?
The fanny pack is good, but what about wearing a sash, like what Miss America wears. It could have pockets up front for your iPod, Cell, gels, and credit cards, the back would be a hydration system. Not only would you be prepared but you would look like a superstar.
of course you can't keep a fannypack on .You've got a defibrillator strapped to your pack

Ok…I admit that when I started running last October, I was 340 pounds and may have thought that I would need a camel pack or something. That being said I am now running 5 miles a day regularly, have lost over 120 of those pounds, and have no inkling of needing any sort of help. Just due the 5k without any of the other stuff. There is enough fluids and food waiting for you at the end. The only resone to have you cell phone on you is if you are running down some country road, and even then I most likely will not work!
After all, we all make fun of those people who either have on fanny packs, headphones, or other unnecessary crap!
However, it sounds like you are just stating, so congratulations, and keep it up! It has worked for me…size 48 to a size 35 in less then a year!
Personally, I preferred the car battery hocked directly into my heart…lot less to carry and saved me during the winter when my jeep would not start! Ha!
That being said, I feel great now!
Hand off those flares! And keep one lit! It adds a degree of excitement to the pass and makes you more visible to the spectators. One lit 30-minute flare should easily last through the relay.
Huh, Huh, he said anals.
Why don't we all get matching neon pink runners hats, yellow fanny packs, and shorts up to our armpits. We'll all have a superb time!
Hey, I used to have a fly neon pink running hat. It was sweet.
anyone who has ever run with a fanny pack on should wrap it around thier neck, tie it to a high tree branch, and jump off a clif
it's only a 5k. If you stay hydrated before the race,f*** the fanny pack it only makes people look stupid.
I resemble that remark.....
packin heat, not only is it ok to wear a fanny pack, it's encouraged. you'll gain status as a real man's man. it's a little-known fact that bruce willis wore a fanny pack between takes on the set of "die hard", and if john mcclaine wears a fanny pack, you know it's totally bad-ass to wear one.
when wearing one, don't take any crap from anyone or i will personally come to you house and kick you in the balls. not because i'll be pissed or anything, but because you'll have proved that you let people walk all over you and also because i like kicking people in the nuts.
also, i'd wear a kidney belt. those fanny packs can get mighty heavy come the third k.
Look. I don't like excuses. Either you wear the fanny pack or you don't. Make up your mind.
Bump. We need to bring some levity back to the board instead of the incesant bashing that nearly every thread has.
I am planning to climb Everest this coming spring. What type of fanny pack do you recommend and should I carry more or less stuff in than I would for a 5K?
Funny this most of these posts were in July adn October and it's December.
Wouldn't be wiser if you had a friend that is not racing hold your belongs while you race?
Frankly ***finishing*** a 5k is difficult like standing in line for Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean for 1/2 hour.
Silly people. I being educated, a long time runner, a 2H5 marathoner (unratified and probaby unnoticed) while wearing a fanny pack . . . "crampon" is a runner's excuse. To wit: "I had a crampon my calf and had to stop." "I had a crampon on my stomach and had to slow down." "I had a crampon my head when I decided to do this race." etc.
Fanny Packs No... Hand Held Water Bottles Fine!
