The Best Running Accessories

Slim Shady
Anatomically shaped to fit a woman's smaller head, the Pearl Izumi Women's Ultra-Lite Visor keeps sun at bay, while the headband wicks away moisture. ($20, pearlizumi.com)

Play It Safe
Create your own electronic Emergency Response Profile, complete with medical info that docs can access via a special code on your Road ID Elite Interactive Bracelet. ($30, roadid.com)

Fluid Motion
On road, trail, track, or treadmill, the FuelBelt H2O Collection keeps water by your side with two 8-ounce bottles. ($40, fuelbelt.com)

Run Free
The Nike Race Day Women's Singlet is so light and sleek, nothing stands between you and the finish line. ($55, nikerunning.com)

Retro Active
While fun stripes on the Saucony Women's PE Revival Shorts bring back old-school styling, looks aren't everything. Breathable and ultrasoft, the microdenier fabric dries quickly, even in the heat. ($34, saucony.com)

Step on It
The latest version of the light, neutral Mizuno Wave Precision 10 provides extra cushioning and support without overwhelming you with too much shoe. ($95, mizunousa.com for stores)
