Needed clothing and gear
​WATER BOTTLE - Bring a water bottle preferably with your name on it to every practice.
CLOTHING - Always come prepared with layers for a range of weather. A warm spring night can turn cool fast.
RUNNING SHOES - Please make sure shoes are lightweight, well-fitted and designed for running.
TRACK SPIKES - Spikes are not mandatory, but can be an asset for athletes when running on a track. Track spikes can range in price from $80-150 and be purchased locally at 218 Run, Frontrunners, New Balance or the Running Room. Used spikes are available to borrow or try on; please ask a coach.
SINGLETS AND PEN TRACK MERCHANDISE - Singlets must be worn at all sanctioned meets. Merchandise is available to order once or twice a season.
