Attire etiquette for trail race (Read 114 times)

B-Plus


    Hey, I signed up for a mountain trail race. Do I need to get a pair of basketball shorts for this thing? I don't think I noticed anyone wearing short shorts in any of the pics I've seen.

        You need a beard, a CamelBak, and a six pack of PBR for after the race.

          Nope. Takehttp://www.adn.com/article/20140704/strabel-defends-mount-marathon-title-fall-and-all-0 a look. Lots of pics after the first one showing what people wear.

           

          but consider skeeters, thorns, cow parsnip, poison Ivy, temperatures, wind, etc when considering what to wear.

                  Make sure it doesn't match and you have mud on your shoes and you're all set.

                      Blood stains optional? (Not from bloody nips, though)

                          I like the idea of the banana hammock, but I don't have the ability to grow a full beard.

                           

                          That's more like it AK, but I don't think I'll be going topless.

                                I decided to go with my longest shorts - 4.5 inseam.
