summary

The general idea of a layering system for the summer edition of the North Pole Marathon:

1)       Upper body: a base layer to wick sweat away from your body, and an outer shell layer for protection from the wind,
2)      Legs: one layer is recommended (base layer or outer shell) or you will otherwise overheat.

Many adventure / outdoor shops should be very familiar with a layering system and will be able to advise you on what to wear when running in very cold weather.

There are many sample links below highlighted in color - they are examples from a variety of sources and brands of what will work, and , get male or female as applies.

Please Note: It is recommended that you bring two sets of base layers for your legs and torso, and an extra fleece for your torso. You will only wear one base layer on your legs and upper body while running, but you can change into the additional dry base layers during the race if you are getting cold and wet. Keeping dry is important in cold conditions! An extra pair of gloves and socks are recommended below for similar reasons.
