Old timex ironman watch, ipad shuffle, and a couple of GU gels with caffeine. I'm a bit odd that I have not stopped for a picture in either Disney HM I ran in, so no need for a phone.

We can be odd together, then. I’ve run something on the order of 18 RunDisney races of various lengths and have yet to stop for a picture. I’m there to run and soak up the atmosphere, but I have no interest in stopping for a character.
 
I wear a cheap SPI belt that I got from Amazon for like $10. It's small but very stretchy and fits a surprising amount of stuff. Last year I wore it under my skirt so you couldn't see it in photos. For a half marathon I bring my cell phone, ID, credit card, a little cash, a couple of packs of Sport Beans and Run Gum, and a cooling towel if it's hot. I also wear PowerBeats wireless headphones and an Apple Watch. I usually stream music on my phone, but if it died I also have music on my watch that I could listen to.
 
I second the SPI belt for a half marathon. It holds my phone, credit card, ID, and some cash if needed. I tuck it under my shirt, and it doesn't show up on any pictures. They also sell water bottles that clip onto the belt that are pretty good. I don't use gels for 1/2 marathons..

I run with a Garmin 230 that shows text messages, so I can get info on the location of my wife & kids during the race - very helpful in a marathon with a ton of people. She can use Garmin or other apps to get my location and text me ahead of time that she's in a particular location - it works out very well..

If I listen to music, books, etc. during a run, I use Plantronics BackBeat FIT Bluetooth headset....much easier than messing around with cords. It's waterproof and has been through many downpours..

For marathons, I use a Two Ogres water belt (bought from Amazon). It has 2 10 oz. bottles and a pocket with enough room for the phone, ID and 4 gels.
 


In a flip belt I carry my phone, a Kleenex, two packs of Sports Beans, and lipstick because pictures :thumbsup2
 
I'm a minimalist, if it doesn't strap to my wrist or fit in my pockets I don't bring it. Not a picture stop guy.
Garmin, a couple of gels, a few fig newtons in a zip-lock bag, chapstick, mini Body Glide for the full.
Sunglasses for the full, but not the half.
Throw-away hat and gloves, if needed.
I use the provided water/Powerade.
Phone and Magic band go in the gear check bag. (My iPhone is so old, if someone stole it, they'd probably return it with a donation!)

I miss Fig Newtons! I wonder if they make a gluten free version??
 
Man, some of y'all are way more careful than I. I leave the house with my watch, a handheld water bottle where I stash my key, and that's it.
 


I run with a RooSport pouch. I don't like things that wrap around my waist when I'm running (they never stay where I want and I feel like I'm constantly adjusting), so this is a good alternative for me. Inside I have: car key, chapstick, tissues, ID, credit card, used to have AP card (I miss you AP :sad1:), insurance card, fuel (usually some combination of beans and waffles).

I also added pockets to my leggings, so my phone goes in there. I run with Airpods, so for the marathon I put the charging case in my pocket also since I knew they would run out of battery otherwise.
 
I carry my phone, headphones, and a couple of gels. There's plenty of water stations on Run Disney courses.
