DSNOCC 3.21 5K Run for Inclusion + World Down Syndrome Day Celebration

Q: What should I wear for the DSNOCC 3.21 5K Run for Inclusion + World Down Syndrome Day Celebration?

Race-day weather in Jacksonville can swing year over year, so dress for the forecast on the day. As a rule of thumb, dress for ~10°F warmer than the standing temperature once you start running. Layer with a throwaway long-sleeve at the start, gloves and a hat for sub-50°F mornings, and a singlet plus a visor when it climbs above 60°F. The published start time is 8:00 AM. Check the race-day weather forecast on this page closer to the date for a specific recommendation.
