We recommend gloves, hand warmers, & mylar blankets or trash bags (holes for your head & arms) to help keep you warm at the starting line. Drop disposable items as you warm up at any beer or water stop along the route. If you plan to dress in layers, make sure your bib remains displayed on the front of your body & consider wearing it on your upper thigh. Food trucks will have hot drinks & breakfast to help your warm up.
