Winter Running Basics

Run safely in cold weather

This guide explains how to prepare for winter running: dress in moisture-wicking layers, warm up inside, choose safe routes, and manage visibility and traction.

Dress in layers

Use wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and windproof outer shells.

Warm up indoors

Do light mobility and activation before heading into the cold.

Stay visible

Wear reflective gear and lights in low daylight; pick well-lit routes.

Mind traction

Use grippy shoes or add traction aids; shorten stride on ice.
