Dressing for the Conditions

Layering is key when preparing for a fall marathon. Start with moisture-wicking base layers to keep sweat away from your skin. Add lightweight, breathable layers that can be easily removed as temperatures rise. Don’t forget a hat and gloves for cold mornings, and consider a waterproof jacket if rain is in the forecast. Spectators should also dress in layers and bring umbrellas or ponchos for unexpected weather.
