Trail running

So I've been getting into some serious trail running. I was wondering if anyone else was also a trail runner, and if so what so you run with? I typically run 5-15 miles. I'm trying to get up to the 25 mile range, so I think I need to add some gear.
Typically I will run with a basic hydration setup, for a long time this was just an old camelback. I recently picked up a nice osprey hydration daypack, (manta 30). Its a little bigfor running but its a great day hiker. I have another pack about half the size en route.
I generally run in vibram five fingers.

I do some trail running. Only special gear I carry is a hydration pack, energy source (gels, candy, etc) and a phone in case of injury. If I was running really tricky terrain, I might bring one trekking pole, but I haven't had a need for that yet.

Yea, I think beyond the hydration pack and some energy, there isn't really a whole lot to bring. What hydration system are you using?
For a long time I was using the old style camel back. The camel back was great until I started getting longer runs, the problem is that I just can't fit anything into the pack. Finally I upgraded to a new osprey system, but the pack is just too big to effectively run with.

I use a camelbak hip belt system. It has a pocket that will hold my phone and 3 or 4 energy gels (or a full pack of starbursts).
The side benefit is, the belt gives a little back support, so it helps some on the big drops.
