What to wear

  • Waiting at the start: bring a warm removable layer; consider gloves or a hat if the race-hour forecast is cold.
  • If rain is forecast, consider a light rain shell or poncho for the wait before the start.
  • After finishing: keep a dry top and an extra layer in your finish bag.

Check the forecast close to race day and adjust your clothing to the start time and your own comfort.
