Safe Night Time Running Tips

I love running, and in the summer, due to the heat, I have to wait until nighttime to run. It is so much cooler when I run at night but it is also dark. When it is dark out, it is hard for cars to see runners. The dark also makes it hard for other runners and walkers to see you. Nighttime running also requires other safe practices. Nobody wants to become a victim of a section ARS 28-693 driver, after all.

Here are some tips for safe nighttime running.

+ Carry a light with you to make yourself visible

+ Carry a cell phone for emergency calls

+ Wear a whistle to make noise in case of being threatened

+ Run with someone else

+ Wear reflective clothing

It can be hard to run while carrying a light, so I wear my light when I run. The Swift-n-Snug Running/Activity Belt is a belt that can be used for running or other outdoor sports like walking or biking. This belt not only has a pouch to carry items like cell phones and keys, but also has an LED light built into it. This 3-Mode LED light is designed for safety by making the user highly visible to passing vehicles. The light is easy to operate with the push of a button. I love that the belt is made from strong elastic and is adjustable to fit any size. The strong elastic waistband prevents bouncing or belt riding up, a common problem with most other belts available in the market.  The carry pouch is made of quality nylon and is sized to fit even the iPhone 6.

The Swift-n-Snug Running/Activity Belt comes in other colors like yellow, green, and red. So be safe when you run at night.
