Marathon Gears Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a running belt for a marathon?

A running belt carries confidence as much as it carries gel packs and water. Wear a belt for your marathon to avoid surprises or delays at race aid stations and to have control over your own race rituals. If you train with the belt on, it will feel natural on race day. However, if you'd rather save a pound or two of weight, it's fine to go without a belt and grab fuel from aid stations along the route.

What do marathon runners wear?

Marathon runners wear lightweight technical clothes with shoes that have the right cushioning to carry them the full 26.2. Marathon running shoes should be well broken in for race day, but not overused — run in the shoes for at least 10 miles before your race so you know exactly how they feel. Experienced runners suggest finding a shoe you love and buying two extra pairs. Then rotate through them for training.

Which shoes are best for running a marathon?

The best marathon shoes have enough cushioning to go the distance, with enough firmness to push off each stride. And they need to be light enough to speed you all the way to the finish line. adidas long distance running shoes in the adizero family, like the Adios and the Boston, are designed and refined with the input of athletes to be fast enough for race day but also stand up to everyday training.
