Athlete REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED GEAR

REQUIRED:

For the 26-27 season, the REQUIRED gear is:

• Boys Team - a Long Sleeve Race Day shirt and the Training singlet

• Girls Team - Long Sleeve or Short Sleeve Race Day shirt. The girls training shirts (short sleeve or tank) are not required but recommended. If a XC training shirt is not purchased, all training shirts must be RRHS colors.

RECOMMENDED:

Running shoes for daily miles - these will be used the most! Dedicated running shoe stores have the technology and the experienced personnel to analyze your running biomechanics/gait and make recommendations tailored to your specifics that will fit you properly.

XC spikes for meets - consider investing in a pair of XC spikes to aid in running on different terrains

Running Socks - opt for CoolMax or Merino wool socks as they don’t hold moisture. Trapped moisture in your socks/shoes can cause friction which results in blisters and general poor foot health.

Running Shorts - Dri-fit shorts are preferred as they don’t hold moisture and are often lighter in weight

• Boys Black Split Shorts: 1” split shorts‍ or 3” split shorts ‍

• Girls Workout/Running Shorts: 3” dri-fit tights/shorts or 3” running shorts
