ICEMAN SERIES: Event 2 - Dec 24, 2022 - 9am start

Iceman Event 2 will happen regardless of the temps or conditions. Location is HOMEPLATE BAR & GRILL.

These routes are the same ones we used last year for this event so you may already have a copy in your inbox or saved on your phone. The GPX files are linked below as well.

Temperatures will be in the single digits with wind chills below zero. It could end up being the coldest run on record for the Iceman Series making it one for the record books and one we definitely want to document.

Dress in Layers - moisture wicking first layer, insulated middle layer and wind/breaker out layer. Zippers may be needed on the outer layers to open up at times to let your inner layer release the sweat/water vapor collecting during your run (otherwise that moisture could create a water layer that could wick heat from your body and bring your core temp down);
Wear insulated mittens or gloves and use hand warmers;
Wool socks are the best. You can also have a combo of beathable inner layer (synthetic wicking material) and a wool outer layer to keep the piggies toastie. Consider using a wet barrier like a plastic bag between two pairs of socks in your running shoes this works great to keep the feet and toes dry and warm.
Consider water proofing your running shoes;
If we have snow and/or ice on the route you may need a traction system for your running shoes. Short screw studs screwed into the thick outer edges of your ruinning shoe are the cheapest way to go. A system like YakTrax works well too. If you use screw studs remember to bring an extra pair of shoes to wear inside the restaurant.
Face coverings will be needed as well as head cover. Ear muffins recommended. The less skin you have exposed the better.
