Other Information
You may be tempted to look at the agenda and decide to show up just at your heat time. DON’T. Important information will be addressed that YOU NEED TO KNOW.
What to wear/bring:
-Tights or capris are recommended. The repeated falling to your knees can cause damage to your skin. Especially if the sand is wet and hard-packed.
-Hats are a good idea. They will also wick your sweat.

DON’T wear/bring:
-Sunglasses. Sand will get on them and is a pain to continue to wipe off. Maybe cheap sunglasses are okay if you don’t mind scratching them up a bit.
-Shoes
-Don’t bring your cell phone
-Bags, purses, briefcases

Maybe Bring:
-Socks. If the sand is hot then beach socks may help. Most people go barefoot. I have never worn socks and I’ve completed six Burpee Miles
-Water bottles. There are aid stations at the ¼, ½ and ¾ mile that will provide water and electrolyte drink. Most people can survive until they arrive at the aid station. Some people will bring a small water bottle that they continually throw ahead of them. Don’t hit the other athletes
-Sweat towels. Some people will tuck them into their shorts/tights
