To celebrate 400 likes on my Facebook page, I decided to do a giveaway of a product I believe in. Today’s giveaway is a Road ID. Before we get to the giveaway, a little background…
A while back, I was chatting with a good friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in awhile. As we were catching up, I mentioned that I was just starting to train for my first marathon. My friend asked me if I was wearing a Road ID and when I told him no, he said that he’d send me some info on it and that he really thought I should invest given all the long runs I’ll soon be doing. I learned that Road ID is meant to share critical information in the unfortunate event that you are injured or incapacitated during a workout or run. Since I’m often convinced I’m going to die on tough runs, clearly I needed one.
You might be wondering, what exactly is a Road ID? Well…
Road ID is a durable, rugged, athletic, fashionable line of identification gear. Currently, we offer 6 different forms of ID: the FIXX ID, the Shoe ID, the Ankle ID, the Wrist ID Sport, the Wrist ID Elite, and the Shoe Pouch ID. We provide various forms of ID to allow a person to decide where they want to wear their vital Identification. We encourage active people who participate in outdoor activities to wear ID and not take the chance of being unidentified in the event of an accident. It is far better to wear ID and never need it than to need ID and not have it.
My Road ID looks like this:
Mine looks like this but in purple.
Since I ordered my Road ID, I’ve worn it on every single run or walk I’ve done. I truly do feel safer knowing that if anything happens, my family will be notified and I will be identified. Even if you don’t win my giveaway, I highly encourage you to order a Road ID of your own!
Now on to the giveaway!

* I was not compensated for this post nor was I provided with a Road ID in exchange for this review / giveaway. I am celebrating 400 likes on my Facebook page by sponsoring this giveaway. I believe every runner / cyclist /etc should be wearing a Road ID.
I think this is a great idea, especially because my phone is usually locked with a code. If something did happen, no one would be able to figure out who I “belonged” to! I am bad about carrying my ID, so this would be a great product to have! Congrats on 400 FB likes!
I used to run with my license in my spibelt, but I’ve since lost my spi-belt. So I haven’t carried anything, and I’ve been thinking how dumb that is. I hear the best things about Road ID!
Congratulations! What a great milestone. I sadly don’t run with any ID most of the time. I know, I know…
If I’m on a long run, I usually carry my ID and my medical card on the offchance that something goes wrong. However, I usually have to stow these things in my bra and by the end of the run it’s not a pleasant experience. A Road ID would be so much better!
I do NOT currently run with a Road ID. I never think about getting one until I go for an outdoor run and then I think … “I really, really need to get one of those!!!”
This is a great idea. I’m totally getting one.
I have the pouch that attaches to my shoe. That way I can stick cash, credit card, hotel key, house key or whatever in there in case of emergencies, too!
I never saw a need for a Road ID, I didn’t think I ran “far enough” for one. But then on the day of the Boston Marathon I was at the finish line cheering on two friends, and the only way my friend was able to call his parents after we united was because he had their number on his bracelet. I put in an order the very next day.
wow. what an amazing story. so glad that you and your friend were okay and that you now have a road ID!
I usually run with my license stuffed somewhere but this would make life way easier!
I don’t run with one, but I really need to! I’d love to win this!
I love my Road ID! I have ran with mine on for every run for a little over 2 years now, so it is probably time for a new one!
I don’t run with any ID, but I did start using the Road ID app on my phone!
I’ve had my eyes on getting a Road ID for awhile now! Awesome giveaway!
I don’t run with any ID, even though I know I should! I’d love to get a Road ID for myself.
I need something to wear during my runs. I know I should, but the budget just isn’t allowing any “extras” right now. Most of the time I just stick my license under my bra strap lol
I run with Road ID. And I’ve ordered them for my dad and husband. If I win, I’ll get one for my mother. 🙂
I run with both my iPhone using RunMeter, which sends my husband my location. Plus, I have a Road ID. If I win, I’ll send one to my mom who walks by herself in Florida!
Awesome!
I should probably get one of these, finally. Hope I win!
I do have a Road ID that I use when I go running by myself. I wouldn’t mind getting a different kind or getting one for my wife.
I used to run with my phone, but since getting my garmin, I don’t even have that on me anymore. I’ve looked into a roadID and would love one! Thanks for the giveaway! Fingers crossed!
I do run with ID, as well as hike w one on my pack. However, I recently got married and need one with my new last name!
Congrats! And that sounds like a good reason for a new Road ID 🙂
Sometimes I run with my driver’s license, but not often enough!
I always carry my phone, with ICE contacts, and my wife and I have our GPS linked on Google Maps, but I want to run “free” more, and I would love a RoadID!
I run with a Road ID bracelet. Need to update some info & would love a 13.1 badge and some new color bands.
I run with my phone which has id info on it, but I don’t run with anything like the Road ID!
I don’t run with a Road ID but I do wear a plastic tag around my shoe or carry ID in my running belt.
I love my Road ID but would also like to have another one that is a big larger. I currently wear the smallest one and I like the ID’s with a thicker band. Mine is pink like yours! 🙂

Congrats on 400!
Thanks Karen! 🙂
WOOT WOOT!! Go Courtney! Hope you are doing well… i’ve been severely lacking in my blogging this week! Justin wears his Road ID 24/7
As he should! Do you have one?
I received a Road ID from my husband for Christmas last year. I put it on and haven’t taken it off since!
I have a RoadID on my running shoe, and I love it. However, I just realized I took it off to put on my new no-tie laces for my triathlon and haven’t put it back on! I really want a wristband type since I need to have some sort of ID when I’m biking and don’t have my running shoes, and because I may get a second pair of exercise shoes for other activities or just to rotate running shoes.
I don’t run with ID. I always run with a partner. I know I definitely SHOULD have my ID on me at all times…but I never have a place to put it!
I’ve been wanting a Road ID for a while as I love the product and believe its so important.
Oh and yes, I run with my expired ID as I need to have something with me!
