I would probably try a belly band.
Honestly though I'm not worried enough about it to carry while I went for a run, seems like it would be more hassle than it's worth, nothing worse than things flopping around or restricting you while trying to exercise. |

I’ve been running for years with a Glock in a Galco Underwraps belly band. Works great. No slipping or flopping, very comfortable and fast enough to draw with no straps, zippers, etc. to fumble with.

Another vote for the Hill People Gear bag. Mine holds the VP9SK and my phone. It fits right in with the other people running around town with their weighted vests or camelbacks.

People actually run with a big MOLLE bag strapped to their chest?
Belly band is simpler, quicker to draw from, much lower profile and has to be more comfortable than that thing flopping around. |

Yes. I drive 7 minutes to my trails, and run with my Hill people gear chest pack. I bought it second hand for half price. It carries my Shield plus reload, my phone, a gel, car keys, toilet paper, and small pocket knife. Works great. You just have to figure out how to adjust it for the most comfortable position. I rarely see another person. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I’m going to try the belly band. |

I can’t imagine running with a chest rig. The few times I ran with a Camelback, it shredded my shirts on long runs. Tech fabric will last forever, unless you so something like that. A band would work better, but over 5k, I would destroy a gun with sweat, oiled or not. I’ve only wished I was carrying two or three times in over a decade of running. I’m ok leaving it at home.

My lcp gets soaked in my ComfortTac in anything longer than 3 miles. I put some motor oil in a kitchen condiment bottle and only made a pin sized opening. It works. I oil it weekly and there’s no rust inside or out. I am still looking for another holster option. I’m really not happy with the retention method of the ComfortTac. I wish it was magnets so you could slide it off instead of a big button that you have to pull off then unholster. But it’s better than nothing. |

I’m convinced a retention method is necessary. Still using the CompTac.
This morning I was running hills at a sprinting pace and my LCP flopped out. It was held in with the retention strap. Only thing I can think of is it shifted under the strap. |

I've been using a belly band for several years. A buddy of mine picked it up for me, I have no idea what brand it is. I make sure it's tight and tie my draw string tight. An LCP should be fine. I've done 6 miles with a Glock 26. Lately I carry a J-frame and a speed strip. I also slip my phone in behind it too.
I may try the HPG chest rig out but then I'll carry more stuff. |

Running with one of those chest pack things looks like a fucking mess. If one is that dedicated to it, go for it, I’d feel silly having a backpack strapped to my chest while running.
My answer has been the CanCan sport belt. It’s basically a high end belly band. It’s extremely minimalistic, and conceals excellently. I’ve carried a single stack 9 and reload on a several mile run and it was not only doable, it was comfortable! I’ve since switched to a .380 and reload though. It seriously carries so well that, even during an athletic clip, it always feels secure and never needs readjusting. I wish I’d have discovered it sooner, to think I really spent years running without carrying and this was all I had to do. |

I got an IWB clip that attaches to the LCP and just clip it to my running trunks. Easy peasy.

I run with a g42 in an aiwb gunners kydex holster with a single clip. I'm 5'10 170 and never have an issue. I'm typically in shorts and a tank top. I do tie my shorts inner tie also. I think it cost me about $40 roughly a year ago. I probably run 3-4 times a week. If I'm doing a longer morning run I'll also wear an ultimate direction waste water pack with a spyderco and an olight s1r baton II on either side of the water bottle.

I run with one of these. Low profile, holds my glock 43 and spare mag. No issues with it bouncing around or moving around on me. Price isn’t bad either. |

It fell out the bottom of the holster/belly band because the stitching ripped and unraveled. |

I ordered that one in January because I've heard a lot of people talk about running with chest packs. It was $19.99 when I bought it. That one is very nicely made for the price. Nice zippers, wide Velcro and a nice mesh back. It's not cheap like the cheap tactical pouches. I put a full-size 9mm with an x300 on it in there because I had a kydex shell covered in Velcro. That was too heavy for running. I had to constantly tighten and loosen straps. Fighting between tight enough to keep it from bouncing but loose enough to allow me to breath. It was a lot better with my J frame. If I could get my M&P sheild back from my wife it would be perfect. When I wore the chest pack I ditched my running belt and carried my phone in the front pocket of the pack. I've been rowing for cardio lately. |

Stabilization strap. I can run with it in the conservation area. I can wear it out in bear country with a G20. It costs more, but the other shit you see on Amazon wasn't made in America. The HPG Runner's kit bag was. |

I’ve been using the Crossbreed belly band for about a month. I wear it around my waist and my gun stays concealed. Gun is in the same spot at my normal carry.
The holster part of the band doesn’t move. The gun stays retained in very well. It’s tighter than my other myself holsters. The gun gets just as sweaty as before. Still no problems with rust. I wipe it down with motor oil weekly. The band, minus the actual holster, gets washed 4x a week in a delicates bag in tap cold water and low heat dry cycle. I haven’t noticed the band breaking down at all. I don’t think it was made to be washed like this, but you’d smell me from a mile away if I didn’t wash it. Longest run with it so far is 1/2 marathon. That was in 80 degree heat. No issues with slipping or anything. |

I keep one for running that gets sweated up and hung out to dry and one that I use for other times when I'm not going to be sweating all over it. |

Even my hat smells if I don’t wash it but let it air dry in the sun on the porch. I can’t stand the smell. |

Interesting. They one I have had for maybe 15 years is good for biking but drove me nuts running. I may have to try the HPG one. The grey kit bag isn't obnoxious, but a fanny pack would just make people go "the old guy is still in the 80's" |
