• Weather-ready gear (think sunscreen for sun and a raincoat, just in case!)
• A water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day
• Comfortable walking shoes for trail activities 
• Beach gear for swimming and water games

Nope! We're running rain or shine! Dress for success and plan on joining us!
