TUAW Holiday Giveaway-tacular Part One: the active iPodder
For the next 5 days we're giving away a bunch of stuff from our friends at Dr. Bott. Check back each day for a new chance to win a bundle of goodies, each with a theme.
Today the theme is "the active iPodder," or all those folks you see running with their iPods strapped to their arms. So we're including the Marware Sportsuit for a long-distance runner (holds up to 160 GB of music) and an EcoRunner 4th-gen nano strap for shorter distances. Plus, you'll want to hear your music while you drive around (perhaps to wherever you're going to run), so we're throwing a Griffin iTrip Auto SE in the mix.
I have tried the latest versions of these iTrip devices, and I have to say they are much better than previous models. Provided you have a clear channel, the signal is strong enough to provide a decent FM sound. My wife, a conisseur of nano wrist straps, was duly impressed with the EcoRunner -- it fits on your arm as well and is supposed to be more green by not using neoprene as the primary material. We didn't give it a long test, as giving away sweaty merchandise isn't cool, but our 1st-gen nano fit (thanks to the way the sleeve is made), which was cool.
Win a Marware 4th-gen nano wrist/arm strap, a Griffin iTrip, a Marware Sportsuit Convertible for iPod classic (80 and 160 GB versions) and the very last of our now old-skool TUAW t-shirt (only available in small). To enter, just tell us whether you are a runner, a cyclist or none of the above.
- Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.

I am a runner, been running for almost all my life. I run cross country and track and train the rest of the whole year. even in the freezing cold sometimes I'll wear shorts, the only thing that stops me from running is the dark and sometimes my iPod. if your a runner you know that when your running and if you don't have good headphones or a armband, your gunna be stopping atleast every 5 minutes to fix it. one time I even dropped my iPod in a puddle. not a great expirience to be told.
well thanks

Well, I'm not much of either right now, but one of my new years resolutions is going to be to get back into shape and start running again, so this would be a great start.

I haven't run in quite some time.
I ran a 5K in DC for Breast Cancer Awareness.
This would give me a good excuse to start up a healthy habit.
