This last winter I raced a few times where I was by myself. I just piled up all my gear off somewhere and laced my car key in my shoe laces. I don't care for the little key pocket that most shorts have.

I put my car key on a lanyard and tuck it in my shirt. It hasn't bothered me yet.

At Madison this year, I passed a woman who was carrying a nice sized water bottle. Throughout the whole race, she'd stop and drink , and then I could pass her, lol, and then she'd take off again. Walk, run, walk, run!
Thanks for the suggestions.

I hide my keys under the fender well of my truck. Never had a problem.

Take the door key off the loop and tuck it in the key pocket.
Most of the races I race at are so small, I could probably not even bother to lock my truck.

take only my car key. I wear only what I am racing in. I carry a water bottle to the start and discard it shortly before. In longer races I have a pack with my gels and stuff that would hold my key.
I am just afraid my bag would get lost. I never let go of posession of my key.

Last July I went to my first (and only) race, a 5K that goes right by my house. I walked a few blocks to the start, registered, and realized that I had no one to hold my things. Not knowing how organized the race would be, I brought a water bottle just in case nothing was offered. I ended up stashing my bottle, fanny pack (with keys), and swag bag at a kind sponsor's booth while I walked the course. I was so grateful that they watched my stuff, I made a small donation to their cause.
Next time (July 19th, in fact), I'm going to bring a vehicle (Base of Operations) and make sure I wear shorts with a key pocket or loop a key in my Lock Laces. I'm going to run this one, too.
