How to Race in the Rain | 10 Tips for a Rainy Race Day

Text showing Body Glide balms is one of the 10 tips for racing in the rain

Use Body Glide

One of the biggest obstacles runners face when running a race in the rain is chafing. When running clothes get wet, they stick to the skin and can cause chafing in areas that rub repeatedly with the running motion.

To prevent this, be proactive in using Body Glide before you even getting started racing in the run. Apply body glide (or another similar lubricant) to areas that are especially susceptible to chafing – armpits, sports bra, nipples (for men) and any other areas where clothing might rub.
