As ultra endurance athletes this should be a no-brainer (but is not) – Carry some form of ID with you when you are out on your adventures whether large or small. If something unfortunate should happen, it certainly would be beneficial for those first to the scene to have a name, city/state, phone numbers, and even medical history if necessary. You family would greatly appreciate it as well, I am sure.

Road ID creates personal customizable emergency IDs for athletes. They created IDs for the wrist, shoe, neck, and ankle. Depending on your sport and preferences, there is something for everyone.

I personally own a wrist ID Sport that contains Name, City/State, Home number, Cell number, and a Friend’s number, which are all engraved on a small stainless steel plate. The wrist strap is made from solid nylon and secures with velcro. They are obviously entirely water safe and nice looking as well.

If you have a complex medical history or sensitivities (allergies, etc), Road ID products also have an optional secure and updateable Emergency Response Profile (phone and web based) in which first responders can received more complete medical history. This optional service is free the first year and then 84 cents a month after that.

Road ID also gives back! A portion of every order is given to one of six charities in which you select.
