Whether you’re an amateur runner, a parent with kids, or even a semi-pro. Here’s a list of tips and gadgets, to help you get the most out of your tech devices during the Marathon.

Pro runners participating in the longer distance runs, are advised not to carry several items, and stick to the fitness trackers to avoid being tired by the extra weight and distracted during the long run.

Charge Your Smartphone:

Make sure your battery is fully charged the night before, you don’t want to run out of power while trying to locate someone or taking pictures of your kids and friends. Also, don’t forget to free some space on your device for new pics.

You have the option of a cover battery case, small external power bar or larger powerstation in case you need to charge several times or many devices. Mophie has a wide variety of good quality items.
