Is it better to carry water bottles or a hydration bladder (Camelback) for the race?
We prefer to carry water bottles for many reasons… here are a few: bottles are easier to fill at the checkpoints, bottles are easier to clean, easier to access and easier to mix drinks in. Additionally, you can run with a sports drink in one bottle and plain water in another (as it’s usually better to drink water if your stomach becomes upset) and it’s easier to monitor the fluid levels in the bottles. Plus, you usually do not have to remove your pack to access the water bottles.
