Frequently Asked Questions

What shoes should I wear for a road race?

Road running shoes with good cushioning and support are ideal. Look for shoes designed for your gait pattern (neutral, stability, or motion control). If you're racing for time, consider lighter racing flats or carbon-plated shoes, though these require breaking in before race day.
