Getting a "stand out" running top

[Joster]

These huge runs are fab, but equally easy to disappear into the throngs. Anyone got some ideas about how to make oneself stand out from the crowd so your supporters can pick you out? No fancy dress, needs to be proper running clothing. I'm not very creative so don't know where to start!

There will be lots of yellow. Orange is good. Distinctive hat of some sort.

I feel you’ve spoiled the fun a bit by insisting on proper kit.

When I say “proper” it’s purely about avoiding discomfort and chafing in a two hour + run!!!!

Well that opens it up a bit on headdress ideas. Something with lots of large feathers perhaps?

That’ll muck up my streamlining!! 😂

Any bright fluorescent-like colour - hot pink, bright orange, green, or yellow.

Although at my half in March last year I did happen to notice that a lot of tiny flies were being attracted to people in bright yellow tops!

There's also plenty really bright patterned running tights around as well - not really my thing, but Tikiboo is a company I've heard of. Actually they do all apparel, worth a look:

Or of course an Um Bongo top 😄

Love that!! Resisting Tikiboo urge as could cause injury to my wallet but some good stuff there.
