Why we need this: We will be able to have water with us when we are on our long runs, during meets, and during practice. Our schools is unable to provide water for runners due to Covid restrictions, so having water available to us in our hands at all times is critical to our safety. This will be an ongoing need. Hydration is key for a runner. With distance running, you need access to water at all times. This item is made for runners and running, and is much better than trying to run with a regular water bottle or Hydroflask.
