We often hear the question, "what should I wear to my first obstacle course race?"

One of the most attractive points of obstacle course racing is the minimal gear required to participate. You can realistically race with just a pair of shoes, socks, shorts/pants, and a shirt (debatable). Unlike many other sports, you don't need to go out and spend thousands of dollars just to participate. We will tell you that proper gear can also make or break your race depending on the course, the weather on race day, and your level of conditioning. For example, if we would have tried to race that Lake Tahoe Spartan World Championship race dressed like the elites in just shoes, socks, and compression pants, we most likely would have been pulled from the course for hypothermia.
