- ·Light colors reflect heat: wear white or light grey if possible
- ·Consider a visor or running cap for sun protection
- ·Hydrate before, during, and after your run. Ease your pace. Your body works harder to cool itself in the heat.

Running in Denver: what the weather does to your run
At a mile high, Denver runs dry, sunny, and swingy. The sun is intense and the air is thin, so UV protection and hydration outrank insulation. Temperatures can drop fast after sunset and shift 30°F in a day, so a stashable layer is wise even when the afternoon is warm.
