The 18 Best Running Belts To Hold Your Phone, Money, And More Comfortably

This Lululemon running belt is made from a super soft fabric unique to the brand called Nulux, which is not only lightweight, but sweat-wicking and quick-drying thanks to Lycra. The zippered pocket is great for your keys, phone, and lip balm. Consider this the running version of the famous Everywhere Belt Bag.

Reviewer rave: "Perfect size for running. Zipper pocket holds phone and smaller pockets are great for keys, chapstick, and energy gels. Fits enough without making you feel bulky and weighed down."

This running belt is perfect for those who just need to take the essentials. You can stuff everything you need into this slim belt. And you'll actually forget that you are wearing it! If you like to run in the evening sometimes, this belt has reflective strips for your safety.

Reviewer Rave: "This is the most amazing running accessory! I just tried it on and went for a run. It holds my phone and my keys easily with space left over for an energy bar, small tube of sunscreen... etc. It is extremely comfortable and discreet. I had it right on the outside waistline of my running shorts and forgot I was even wearing it! It stayed up the entire time..."

Whether you're out for a run or just need your things close to you on a daily basis, these four pockets will make your life so much easier. This bag can also be used while traveling as a crossbody bag to carry your passport and other necessities.

Reviewer Rave: "Allows for hands free workouts. Can run with my music, water bottle, and car keys. The strap is adjustable. I have a 31” waist. There is a decent amount of leftover strap that flaps when I run, I just have to tuck it. Will probably be too much for people with small waistlines. Otherwise a great product."

With an elastic and adjustable strap, you won't have to worry about this running belt bouncing, moving, or chafing. Plus, it's waterproof and even has a hole for your wired headphones (if you're still into the wired type).

Reviewer Rave: "I bought this to wear while I go out jogging. It’s lightweight and breathable. I carry my phone and chapstick in the main pocket, which also has a thin cloth divider inside so you could put your phone and keys in there without your keys scratching your phone. Then a house key in the little side pocket and my pepper spray in the other little side pocket. I bought the orange one so I’m more visible in case I’m out when it’s raining and others can easily see me. Good buy and I recommend this item to anyone!"

This belt comes with not one, but two uniquely-sized water bottles that will sit right at your hips while you run. How convenient! The soft anti-slip design makes this belt super comfy, too.

Reviewer rave: "I LOVE IT. I [held] off from purchasing a hydration belt because I thought that it might be too heavy or that the water moving around would be annoying, but none of that was an issue. Typically I carry a full-size water bottle in hand even on my long runs, kinda annoying tbh. BUT after purchasing this belt I will never go back."

Just around $10 with great color options? I'll take it. Plus, the adjustable straps fit waist sizes from 28" to 49". Reviewers even say that it is slim enough to fit comfortably under clothes.

Reviewer rave: “The belt is adjustable, which is great because you can have it across your hips or snug against your waist. Regular or Plus sizes. In addition to the adjustments, the belt part stretches, too. Very comfortable!!! I also like that it isn't bulky and I can wear it under my clothes. It also has additional pockets, which are cute and practical!"

So you know how you sometimes keep your phone in the waistband of your leggings? (That can't just be me, right?) Well, the Stashband is basically that, but with pockets, and of course separate from your pants. Genius! It fits snug around your waist so you can be active without worries.

Reviewer rave: "Bought to wear during my marathon. Didn't train much with it so I was concerned about comfort and it riding up while I ran, but I didn't want to wear my fuelbelt. Turned out I worried for nothing! It was incredibly comfortable for the 26.2 mile run. I was able to store my phone, license, and some energy packs without issue. There was no uncomfortable rubbing or riding up at all. It was easy getting things in and out (didn't use the zipper pocket) and nothing fell out. Phone was held tight and didn't jostle. Will definitely become a staple for my longer runs!"

The FlipBelt's moisture wicking fabric will keep you nice and dry even on your sweatiest of runs. This belt holds just the essentials but holds them well. With a key hook inside, you don't have to worry about it falling out when you reach in to grab something else.

Reviewer rave: “If you don't enjoy the feeling of keys and a phone and a wallet in your pockets, buy this belt. If you don't want those things to fall out of your pockets at the gym, buy this belt. It holds keys really well because of the clip that tethers them to the belt. The zipper pocket secures my phone and wallet; I don't carry anything else so the other pockets go unused. This belt is well made, comfortable, and it stays in place."

A soft and snug fit will have you wondering if you ever put your running belt on. Never fear, this small pouch still holds your necessities secure. This reviewer even said "no jiggle"–that's a major win.

Reviewer rave: “I bought this to replace a different brand whose straps kept slipping loose and made it impossible to run with a phone in it. This one has great a great strap that stays put and you don't have to tighten it too much to get it to stay. It's very comfortable and there really is no jiggle. My giant phone fit perfectly and didn't bounce around. The GPS on my phone was more accurate without it bouncing. I went on a 5 mile run with it and it worked great!"

No more carrying your water bottle in your hand! If you need extra hydration on your runs, this pack is the one to pick. It fits any 12 oz. water bottle and gets extra points for reflective safety strips.

Reviewer rave: “As a runner, I have used many products in the past (belts, bags etc) for storing my essentials on a run or hike, and I can easily say this is the best one. Top quality, exceptional functionality, great low price, and all backed by an assuring product warranty. The fact that I can use whatever bottle size or type I prefer, depending on my mood, distance, weather, etc, is a real game changer. No more depending on refilling the pre-fit bottles, which had minimal lifespan anyway."

Sometimes you don't need water, you don't need a snack, you just need your phone. And that's okay. With this belt, your phone can sit safely under or on top of your shirt. And you don't have to worry about taking your case off of your phone. This one fits iPhone 14 Pro Max, 14 Plus, 11/12/13 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy Note/Plus/Ultra, with Otterbox cases. Move over armband! Psss...there's a secret pocket for your credit cards, too.

Reviewer rave: “As a regular runner, this is the most comfortable pouch and my phone (Galaxy Note 20) actually fits in. I've tried several and end up with split seams in a short order of time or the waist strap is so rigid it digs into my waist on long runs. The Tune Belt is easily adjusted, is comfortable, and after nearly 500 miles is still holding up well. I highly recommend this pouch for exercising."

Don't underestimate the power of this simple belt! It has two expandable pockets. One is perfect for your phone, while the other can hold your cards, keys, and headphones. This belt is compatible with a range of iPhones and Galaxy S21.

Reviewer rave: Bought this belt after running my first 15k. I saw several runners wearing similar belts during the run. I’ve run with it a lot since purchasing it, and it’s been great! No bounce to it when you run; it stays firm on your waist. I just ran a half marathon with it and had zero issues. It doesn’t get any moisture or sweat in it when working out/running. Holds my iPhone and keys with no issues. And you can’t beat the price! Would highly recommend and would purchase again if need be!"

Made of stretchable spandex material, this belt easily hugs your body. Slip all of your essentials into the single pocket and head out on the trail!

Reviewer rave: “My favorite running belt ever! This is my second one because my dog ate the first one. Seriously. I love how the pocket expands and how the belt fits. I've used a few other brands, but SPI belt is by far my preference! If the dog hadn't destroyed it, my first one was going on eight years old and was getting lots of use.”

So maybe you like getting caught in the rain, but your phone and wallet sure don't. With this around your waist, you can conquer every weather condition on your runs and walks and keep your gear safe and dry.

Reviewer rave: "This is lightweight and the stretch of the waistband strap makes for a nice hug of the hips to stay put, without loosening or being too restrictive. I purchased this one for walks and a more streamlined name brand for runs, but this pack is so functional and works so well that I end up just using it for runs and walks. I’d definitely buy this again."

This Nathan belt is a favorite of WH editors. The hook belt offers a secure (as well as custom) fit around the waist for minimal bounce. It has two convenient zippered pockets (and 4 pockets total) for plenty of storage. Plus, it's water-resistant.

Reviewer rave: "I loved it! I adjust amazingly and the fabric is very soft. Room enough for my phone and keys!"
