When choosing how to light your path while trail running, you have a ton of options for lights to hold in your hand or to wear on your head, but that’s about it. GoMotion has decided to give you another option …full review on irunfar.com

The Bottom Line
For hands-free night walking, running or hiking, this LED lightbelt is a great solution. It is lightweight and it runs on 3 AA batteries that should last a long time. The front spotlight has three brightness levels, beam width adjustment, and swivels to get the best angle. The rear pack has two red safety flashers. It has two zip pockets for small essentials. I found it less distracting to walk with vs. a headlamp. (more…)

GoMotion Sport Runner Litebelt – Front View “This product has been my savior“
I am an early morning runner which means I run in the dark a lot. If you’re like me you’ve noticed that there is a certain time when the traffic really picks up, usually around 6:30 am where I live. I’ve been building my running inventory over the past couple of years to include items from reflective gear to lights. You can never be too safe when taking your running to the streets, especially in those pre-dawn hours. I use to run with a headlamp but it became rather uncomfortable as it pressed against my head or worse, as I began to sweat the headlamp would begin to lose it’s grip and slip down off my forehead. I began looking for other options.

Charlie Engle turned in an impressive finish at this year’s Badwater 135 beating his previous personal record by 2 hrs, and placing 4th over-all in 25hrs 45m 11sec. It was especially impressive given some of his early race issues, and the time he took to decorate the course in technicolor the 1st 75 miles (Badwater Engle Video ). He turned it up from there, and was pacing 8-9 min. miles at 115 miles in. I was recently joking with race director Chris Kostman after he told me about Charlie’s pr, that is was most likely b/c he was using our light during the event. I then had to confess I wasn’t actually sure if he had, or not. Charlie was kind enough to confirm that he had indeed used a GoMotion 1 Watt LiteBelt during the race, and had these comments:
“Jonathan,
Thanks for the note. I hope that OR was good for you. I did use the waist belt version of the GoMotion light and it performed very well. I really like the comfort and the adjustments that are available. At one point I was using a pacer and I gave him the light because it was so bright, we didn’t need to use two lights. So he just lit up the entire road for me. It was great.
Charlie”
Badwater takes runners 135 miles from Death Valley (280 below sea level) with temps upto 130F to the top of Mt Whitney (8,360′) for a total 13,000′ of vertical ascent and 4,700′ of vertical descent. It has been coined, “The world’s toughest footrace” http://www.badwater.com/ .
Charlie is widely recognized for his part in the powerful documentary, Running the Sahara (http://www.runningthesahara.com/ ) where he, Ray Zahab, & Kevin Lin ran for 111 days straight and 4,300 miles across the Sahara desert to raise awareness for the need of clean water in Africa under the charitable organization H2OAfrica (http://www.h20africa.org/ ).
It’s great getting 1st hand, hard-core feedback from someone like Charlie – Thanks, Charlie, and best of luck to you in your quest for the Death Valley Cup this year.
