Wear The Right Gear For Race Day in Colorado

DENVER (CBS4) - Colorado runners know that weather can change in an instant. The Rock 'n' Roll Denver Marathon is Sunday, Oct. 19, so weather will be a factor.

"You need to make sure you have the right equipment for race day, a light hat or baseball cap, gloves for sure, and a light long sleeve. Those are the three things you should really be thinking about," said two-time Olympian Alan Culpepper.

Culpepper also warns against experimenting with new gear, especially shoes on race day.

"If you want to bust out a new pair go with something you have been wearing already, and do one or two runs in them to make sure they are all set," Culpepper explained.

The Rock 'n' Roll Denver Marathon & 1/2 is Sunday, Oct. 19 at 7:15 a.m. at Civic Center Park.
