Top tips for rainy weather<\/h2>\n\n

The last fifteen years of the Karwendelmarsch have shown that it is either pretty hot or pretty wet. Unfortunately, the participants have not been completely spared from persistent rain in some years. Nevertheless, motivation was always high. And as we know: \u2018There is no bad weather, only bad clothing!\u2019 Or bad preparation. To help you prepare, we have summarised the most important tips for you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

1. plan packing list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clothing is the most important protection against the rain. With a few clever outfit considerations, the \u2018plague\u2019 of rain becomes a side note during the race. In addition to the obvious addition to the packing list, the waterproof<\/strong> rain jacke<\/strong>t, it makes sense to think about other items of equipment<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Gore-Tex socks<\/li>
  • Headgear with water transport<\/li>
  • Glasses with clear lens<\/li>
  • Gloves<\/li>
  • Sleeves<\/li>
  • Running shoes with a good profile<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    2. stay dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Given the number of starters, it’s not always easy to find a dry spot right before the race. However, staying dry for as long as possible can pay off. On the one hand, the clothing absorbs later, which means less weight in tow, at least for the first few (kilo-)metres. Secondly, you keep the chance of escaping the rain completely if it ends abruptly. And thirdly, for most people it is – at least subconsciously – a question of motivation to start the race dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The solution: umbrellas<\/strong> or creative solutions <\/strong>like that of Karwendelmarsch winner Meex, who quickly converted a rubbish bag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    3. keep moving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Wetness and cold temperatures cool the body down. The antidote: warm up! When the body is at \u2018operating temperature\u2019<\/strong>, everything is easier, even when the rain is pelting down on you. Some ideas for a classic warm-up programme<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Leg lifter<\/li>
    • Arm circles<\/li>
    • Lunge<\/li>
    • Goose step<\/li>
    • Torso flexion<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      It also makes sense to keep moving during breaks in the race, such as at refreshment stations. Even if it’s just \u2018jumping around\u2019. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      4. Refreshment stations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      During the Karwendelmarsch, there is also the opportunity to warm up from the inside out. At the refreshment stations, participants can enjoy teas and hot soups to energise them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Hot tip: vegetable or blueberry soup!<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        No matter what the weather is like at the Karwendelmarsch: With the right attitude, every run is a pleasure – and every participant a winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
