Drink without stopping, carry without discomfort.
Staying Hydrated While Running
On a trail, water points are scarce and supply stops are far apart: the runner must carry enough drink and food. For a run of less than two hours, a hydration pack is often unnecessary: a water bottle held in hand or a belt around the waist is enough. Drink in small, regular sips, every ten to fifteen minutes, without waiting for thirst, especially in hot weather.

All the accessories can be found on the accessories page.
Bottles and Flasks
The soft flask, like the one from Dynafit, collapses as it empties: it doesn't bounce around and fits in a pocket or a belt. The hand-held water bottle Nathan LittleShot, from the American hydration specialist, is held in the hand with a strap. The Nike Recharge with straw, Big Mouth with wide opening, Refuel and Fuel with pressure, and the Biotech USA, which are stiffer, are suitable for short outings and the gym.
The Belts
The trail belt is worn at the waist and holds a flask, a phone, gels, and keys without bouncing. The Silva Strive, from the Swedish outdoor brand, the Oxsitis Slimbelt, from the French trail brand, and the Patagonia, which are stretchy and slim, fit closely to the body. Choose your belt based on your waist size, ensuring that it doesn't slip during the run. Rinse your bottles after each use and let them dry open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Belt or hydration pack, what should I choose for trail running?
For a run of less than two hours, a belt or a water bottle held in hand is sufficient. Beyond that, or in the mountains, the pack allows you to carry more water, clothes, and necessary food.
Soft flask or rigid bottle for running?
The soft flask, like the one from Dynafit, collapses as it empties and doesn't bounce. The rigid bottle is sturdier, easier to fill and clean, and suitable for hand or bike use.
How much should I drink during a trail run?
Drink in small, regular sips, every ten to fifteen minutes, without waiting for thirst. Needs increase significantly with heat, so plan to drink more water in summer.
How to prevent a trail belt from bouncing?
Place it on your hips, tight enough not to hinder breathing, and distribute the weight evenly on both sides. Slim and stretchy belts, like the Silva Strive or the Oxsitis Slimbelt, hug the body.
How to clean a running bottle or flask?
Rinse it with hot water after each outing, especially if it contained a sugary drink. A bottle brush and a bit of baking soda will remove deposits and odors, then let it dry open.
