Hi everyone, I'll probably mention this at the Lunch on Saturday, however I spoke to Paige Walker who is an experienced Marathon Runner. She said that specifically for the Philly Marathon usually what runners do is buy sweatshirts or sweatpants (the top layers) from Thrift stores, (or we could search through Free Boxes in the dorms) and then while running they take off the clothing and throw them to the side. So if you have a sweatshirt that you really like and plan on stripping while running I'd advise you to perhaps replace it with a Free Box item.
The great thing about stripping off these top unwanted layers is that at the end of the race all the leftover clothing items are donated to the homeless!
So keep an eye out in your free boxes, even if you have enough layers maybe bring some along for donation!
Another point, sorry for the nature of it: There will be porta potties along the race track..however since there are a lot of runners they usually run out of toilet paper. Thus it is a really smart idea to bring a strip of toilet paper that you can tuck into your spandex or what not.
Okay cya everyone at the lunch!
