The Half Marathon
A half marathon is a challenging distance that balances speed and endurance. It's long enough to require substantial training but short enough to maintain a faster pace.
UltraSignup's Gear Recommendations
Shoes: Look for trail running shoes with good grip, moderate cushioning, and stability. They should be comfortable for sustained running but not overly heavy.
Hydration: A handheld water bottle or a small hydration pack should suffice.
Clothing: Breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics are essential. Layering might be necessary depending on the weather.
Nutrition: Energy gels or chews can be useful for maintaining energy levels.
