What should I wear?

While you can wear almost anything we have a few suggestions:

• Try to avoid cotton whenever possible.
• Trailing running shoes and lightweight apparel that drains well; remember, it's likely you will be soaking wet and/or muddy.
• New shoes on race day are NOT recommended, race in what you train in. 
• Remember this is a family event, indecent clothing should be reconsidered. 

For more tips please visit our blog: how to dress for race day

We recommend bring a change of clothes for after the race, along with a couple garbage bags for your muddy clothes!

Please note some of our Elite Heats will have a dress code, and these events will be posted at least 10 days before hand in the athlete guide. For these events we will require that those entering the start corral for the professional elite wave wear sensible athletic wear designed for running or trails.

You are representing the future of the sport, and it is being covered as a professional sport.

So costumes will not be allowed in the elite wave.

We do understand costumes have been a part of this sports birth and good nature, but, aiming for Olympic inclusion, we need to have a more professional presentation.
