My half-marathon is Saturday. Crazy. I’m starting to get my stuff ready. The forecast calls for a high of 82 with a chance for thunderstorms. Here’s what I’m packing for the race. I am also packing two going out outfits.

| No, I don’t like purple. Why do you ask? |
1. Athleta racerback dry-wick shirt
2. Gap yoga pants
3. Champion Max Support sports bra (everyone, buy one of these now)
4. Underwear (you don’t need to see which pair)
5. Brooks running shoes
6. Balega running socks
7. iPhone arm band
8. Koss ear buds
9. Jelly Belly sports beans
10. Polar heart rate monitor
Did I forget anything? What else do you pack for races?
I would DEFINITELY add some BodyGlide to the list! I don’t know if you have any issues with chafing, but I tend to get it around my rib cage from my sports bra on the long-distance runs (TMI?? Sorry!), especially when it’s really warm – and 82 is warm! I’d also throw flip-flops in your race-day bag, because there is nothing sweeter than taking off your tennis shoes and socks when its over 🙂 Andddd finally, a shirt to change into after the race – same reason – it’s really nice to put on something fresh when it’s all said and done.
Good luck at your race!!
I think you are set!!! Super excited for you.
I don’t do races but seems you’ve got it all!
I hardly know how to pack for a weekend trip.. LOL I wish you the best of luck! I seriously can not wait to hear about your experience!
A good bra is a must. I made the mistake of wearing a cheapy my first half and had chaffing so bad under my boobs. Not anymore! I would agree with the flip flop comment as well.
