What to Wear
- Weather is highly variable; usually we say, long pants and long sleeves; you may also want layers and gloves, hat/buff, etc. Dry clothes and shoes for after the race may come in handy as well. As we get closer, you may wish to test your outfit at your intended exertion level.
- Trail running shoes work great.
- We have loaner compasses - if you don't own one, don't buy one, try ours first.
- Bug/tick spray
