This is where athletes usually choose to either represent their favorite country, race series or show off their hard work by racing shirtless. Just like your shorts/pants, socks and shoes, you want something that is not going to absorb a lot of water weight, so a cotton shirt is out of the question. Choose something made out of synthetic material that is tight fitting. The choice is yours, but if you decide to rock a shirt or sports bra, Legendborne has some pretty awesome jerseys including the Hannibal Race jersey. This are customizable with your name on the back.

For a lower price point, thinner material, that is not customizable but just as good an option I would also check out MudGear's race jerseys.

There's a lot of other items that some athlete choose to race with. Highly recommended items include a GPS watches are a great idea to track your pace and mileage.

Gloves are also optional, but you'll find that your bare hand almost always has a better grip than gloved hands, especially when wet. The only times we recommend gloves are for very cold weather races (BleggMit 1mm or 3mm OCR mittens) or for some warmer weather options check outhttp://www.mudgear.com.
