I am saving the Downtown Jingle 5K race report (it’s a good one) for tomorrow, since it’s Monday and I want to start the week off right with a giveaway! The lucky winner will receive a SPIbelt in color of their choice. Read on to learn more about the SPIbelt and the sweepstakes rules…
Let’s face it–it’s sometimes challenging to find a good way to carry personal items on the run. If you drive somewhere to run, you need to stash your keys and most likely your phone. If you are running long, you will also need storage for nutrition. I do have a Fuel Belt that has a pocket for small items, but honestly, it’s not my favorite thing to wear while running. So I was pretty excited to receive a SPIbelt to try out.
The SPIbelt (SPI stands for small personal items) is a fully adjustable belt that has an expandable pocket for storing keys, cell phone, money, and more. When I opened up the SPIbelt, I looked at the storage compartment and thought that there was no way that my iPhone would fit. However, I discovered that the pocket does expand quite a bit and could carry my iPhone (and still allow room for my keys).
I tested the SPIbelt on a four miler at about 8:25 pace. I wanted to put something in it that I knew had the potential to be very annoying: my giant key ring! I am happy to report that I didn’t even notice that I was carrying my keys with me-not a peep! The SPIbelt stayed in place, and I almost forgot it was there.
The SPIbelt is also very versatile- you could use it for walking, biking, hiking, travel, etc., not just for running. Even better, I am allowed to give one away to a reader. Please leave a comment below (on this post) telling me which color of SPIbelt you would choose if you win. Click HERE to see the color chart.

I WANT THAT BELT!! This looks like a perfect stocking stuffer! I am forever trying to figure out how to juggle the few things I want to carry with me on my walks/jogs: phone, keys, pedometer, whatever.
I would have to go with Hot pink with black zip. I used to hate pink but lately it has become my signature color.
I like the black with purple zipper.

Thank you for sharing your review, I’ve been wanting to have a spibelt for a while, first time I saw them was at the princess half marathon expo in February, and regret ha I didn’t buy it. I’d love to win the black with the orange zipper! I see me running the 2012 WDW half marathon with it 🙂
Would really love their new Flag design, but of the current choices I think my son would really like the camo. We use these to hold my oldest son’s diabetes supplies and I have friends who’s kids wear their insulin pumps in these. Of all the stuff out there SPI belts are truly the BEST!!!
