Running With ID

You can't predict the unexpected, but you can be prepared.  Although running is a non-contact, and generally safe sport, accidents do happen.  Why not give yourself the best odds for surviving an emergency situation by carrying identification with you on all your runs?

A Ziploc bag with a business card (appropriate medical information written in) stowed in your shoe will work, although, would be rescuers may not think to check your feet for information.  Another alternative is a laminated ID card carried inside your cell phone case or tucked into the internal key pocket of your shorts.  Whatever form of identification you carry should be waterproof--sweat has a way of getting into the tiniest crevices and will destroy ink that isn't permanent.

Road ID has developed seven different engravable products which enable you to compactly carry vital information with you wherever you go.  Designed specifically for athletes, the Wrist ID Sport, Wrist ID Elite, Wrist ID Slim, Shoe ID, Shoe Pouch ID, FIXX ID and the Ankle ID are all available in the Original or Interactive versions.  For the interactive version, you are able to set up a fully updateable Emergency Response Profile (EPR), which contains as much information as you see fit, from emergency contact numbers, medical conditions, blood type, allergies, personal physician, desired hospital,  to hotel contact information, etc.  Your EPR can be accessed by emergency personnel using a serial and PIN number engraved on the back of the ID.

Great for gifts, Road ID products come in a variety of colors and styles--Mother's Day is just around the corner!  Give your mom peace of mind with a stylish Wrist ID Elite.

LACE UP and don't take changes--bring ID!
