What would you wear for 1/2 marathon?
My 2nd 1/2 is this Saturday (5k on Friday night, but not worried about that). The forecast is looking less than stellar right now.
45 degrees F, 75% humidity, cloudy, 15mph winds. Thunderstorms a possibility, but hoping to be done with the race before they actually hit.
Typically I would wear a tank top, running skirt and headband. Is this a case where I should do a hat just in case? Keep the skirt or do capris instead? Tank top w/ a jacket?
The course info doesn't say anything about throw away clothing, but should I consider that route instead? I warm up rather quickly and i'm actually ok with being cold at the start. I just don't want to be freezing if/when the rain/wind hits while running.
ugh. My outfit was the ONE thing I was super confident about. lol.

My home office. Joeyzlovieg's hubby made it for me. I love it!
I'd probably wear a brimmed hat in case it started raining.

45* is shorts weather here!
For my 1/2 on Sunday, it was 37* and cloudy at the start, then got windy but sunny. While running, I was more than fine in shorts, tank, and l/s shirt with a baseball cap. Afterward, I wished I had long pants and a winter coat.
Happy medium might be capris, tank, l/s or jacket, and hat with brim.

Maybe I get warmer than most, but that is definitely shorts (or skirt) weather to me.
During my half in March it was 40 degrees with 90% humidity and I was perfect in shorts and a short sleeve shirt. I might wear a hat if you normally wear one when it rains though.
Capris and a ss shirt with a throw away top or sweatshirt. I usually run in skirts, but under 50, I go with capris. I did a race over the weekend with the exact same conditions. Most people wore ls shirts.
Definitely wear a cap with a brim in case it rains - look for a running hat, not a heavy cotton baseball cap. I'd probably wear capris, a tank and a light weight jacket or shirt. 45 degrees is pretty chilly, especially if you get soaked.
GL!
