|

|
We've compiled a list of items to bring to make race day a little easier for you! Most of these suggestions come from past Dances with Dirt participants!
- A BIG thank you for the splendid volunteers.
- A sense of humor (the relay people go lots faster - get used to the idea of having rabbits run past you).
- A sharp eye to see all the ribbons (the run takes longer when you're lost).
- Cellular phone.
- Band-Aids and antiseptic spray.
- Bandanna (for head/wipe sweat/cuts/anything at all!).
- Body glide.
- Bug spray.
- Camera, I got some of the greatest shots at last years DWD. I feel that if you are going to be working your butt off like you are you should have proof of it for posterity.
- Encourage a runner who's struggling. Especially if it's you.
- Gloves if it's cold.
- GU.
- Hats can be nice on some of the rougher terrain routes. Lower your head & crash through the briars. Also, protection from the sun.
- Ivy-Block (prevents getting poison ivy).
- Plastic bags for the smelly spent running gear after use.
- Power Bars.
- Rain/foul weather gear (although not needed).
- Signed Event Waiver
- Solarcaine (to relieve pain of minor scratches).
- Sunglasses.
- Sun block lotion (helps keep you cooler in the sun).
- Toilet paper.
- Towel for a swim and shower afterwards.
