RacingHumans.com: Mud Run Race Apparel - What to wear while racing in a mud run

www.racinghuman...
The Racing Humans Mud Run Events are a fun experience if your wearing the right clothes. Your clothing must be planned well and fit well, even when wet. You need to be prepared get wet from puddles, mud pits and open water swimming. Your clothes need to feel good, retain the least amount of water as possible, and not cause blistering.
Try your outfit out before race day. Wet clothes feel a lot different then dry. Put on your running outfit, take a shower or jump in the pool/lake/river/ocean and see how it feels. While wearing your wet running outfit, go for a run and a swim. Running wearing your mud run outfit after it is wet, will give you the feeling of what it will be like on race day.
Loose fitting cotton, or sweat pants/suits should be avoided. Thick cottons and leather shoes will absorb and hold water and mud, which will add excess weight. T-shirts can be worn loose as they don't weigh much, even when wet. Anything that soaks up a lot of mud and water will weigh you down, not to mention chaff you. We suggest wearing spandex shorts under your running shorts, gaulding shorts, or lycra to prevent chaffing.
Spandex is an option for any racing event. It is lightweight and doesn't hold much water. Keep in mind that it gets damaged easily.
Don't wear goggles or sunglasses, you WILL lose them. Be careful wearing contact lenses. They can be a hazzard when mud gets in your eyes.
