Tokyo Marathon

I still have so much to prepare for. I am not talking about the running, it is far too late for that. My thoughts are over what to wear. What is a good colour ? What doesnt clash with the white marathon T-shirt and will still look fashionable from inside of an ambulance ?

It is going to be cold tomorrow so the marathon provided shirt will not be enough. Knowing my running technique, ie slow slow slow, I will be exposed to the elements for 6 or 7 hours. Do we have to display the number throughout the race ? Does that mean we cannot cover it up ? I did think about dressing up in a huge daruma costume but there are huge restrictions on costumes so as not to display the Tokyo residents who may be upset by the fun loving side of the marathon.

I had my question answered yesterday regarding the clothes transport. Apparently there is no need to run back to the start when you finish. You put your clothes in a bag provided by the organisers. This bag will then be sent over to the finish point where it will be waiting for you. In short, you have started so you have to finish in order to get your wallet back.

So what to wear for the marathon in order to stay warm, comfortable and avoid hyperthermia.
