GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--- Saturday is the Fifth Third River Bank Run, and there's plenty of tech out there to use to give runners--and spectators--a boost. Casey Cochran of Genius Phone Repair gives us the scoop on running apps and other gadgets.

H2O Pal makes sure you're hydrated before and after the race, as well as during any typical workout.

Spotify Running takes your running pace and picks songs that will play at a similar speed to keep you motivated.

And the RaceJoy app helps spectators track your location, so they can root you on, check your progress, or even send you digital 'cheers'.
