Frequently Asked Questions- (FAQs)- 

Shelley, Dove Canyon, Ca.- “I love the RUNNER’S BAR. I run through the trails around here every day and I feel much safer. The water in the on-board container gets warm during very hot days. Is there any way to keep it cool?” 

Chip- Shelley, thanks for your note. I have a suggestion. The RUNNER’S BAR comes standard  with two small water bottles inside the units. I have filled one with regular water and filled the second about 2/3 full. If you freeze the second bottle, the water will expand to fill the bottle.  The frozen bottle will keep the entire BAR cold and will melt as you run. This way, both water  bottles stay cold and you can drink from both in sequence. 

Kim, Rancho Bernardo, Ca.- “Thanks for sending the RUNNER’S BAR to me. I walk the paths  around our lake with my eight year old son. He is highly allergic to most everything and I always carry my EpiPen just in case. Do you think the EpiPen will fit inside the RUNNER’S BAR?” 

Chip- Hi Kim, I understand about the concerns with allergies and young children. I have tested  the standard EpiPen with the RUNNER’S BAR units. After you remove the two on-board water bottles, there is enough room for the EpiPen with and without the case inside the BAR body. 

David, San Clemente, Ca.- “ The RUNNER’S BAR is a great tool for my family. We love walking our dog around the trails near our house. Unfortunately, the coyotes are bold and can be dangerous. In the past, I have walked with a baseball bat for security but the RUNNER’S BAR is much easier to handle. I have also heard that the blinking light feature on the BAR will discourage wild animals. Is this true?” 

Chip- David, thanks for getting in touch with us. The blinking light feature on the bar LED lights is primarily designed to increase visibility for the user. I have heard from several sources that the blinking does help in warding off animal attacks as well.  

John, Irvine, Ca.- “ My daughter is a runner and very fit. She will be attending college in the  fall located in a very large U.S. city. I want to buy several RUNNER’S BARs for her to use in this  new setting. It would be great if I could surprise her with the BARs with a custom logo, maybe  in her school colors. Have you ever considered the RUNNER’S BARS with college names and logos?”

Chip- Hi John, I am thrilled that you have selected the RUNNER’S BAR as the perfect  accessory for your athletic daughter. I believe that the college campus is the ideal location for  the BARS for safety and convenience for runners. We are currently working to expand the  colors and logos of the BARS to have a custom design capability. I will keep you updated on this new feature.
