1. Venue Course Conditions & Turf Friction at Chicago Navy Pier
Festival Hall at Chicago Navy Pier features fast multi-lap indoor running loops, high-grip championship carpet on the 50m Sled Push/Pull lanes, and brisk 38°F–45°F Lake Michigan wind chills outside the athlete check-in tunnel.
2. Lightweight Warmup Jackets & Corral Layering Protocol (APC-C42 to APC-C45)
Arrive at Navy Pier wearing the Apex AeroShell™ Lightweight Race Warmup Jacket (`APC-C42`) or the 26/27 World Series Lightweight Warmup Jacket (`APC-C45`) over your race kit. Strip your warmup shell 8 minutes before wave call after priming your diaphragm with 30 breaths on the AeroLung Dual-Valve Lung Trainer (`APC-E17`). Explore our 4 purpose-built lightweight warmup shells: Apex AeroShell™ Lightweight Race Warmup Jacket (APC-C42, $64), Hybrid 8-Station Windbreaker Track Jacket (APC-C43, $66), Pro Division Lightweight Quarter-Zip Shell (APC-C44, $64), and 26/27 World Series Lightweight Warmup Jacket (APC-C45, $68).
3. Breathable Tech Shirts vs. Sleeveless Muscle Tanks for Station 1–8 (APC-C36 to APC-C41)
By Run 5 and the 1,000m Row, core body temperature peaks and standard cotton tees trap heat against your ribcage. Our AeroMesh™ Laser-Vented Tech Shirt (APC-C36), Dry-Pace™ Threshold Tech Tee (APC-C37), VentTech™ Zone 4/5 Shirt (APC-C38), Featherweight 3.8 oz Sub-60 Tee (APC-C39), CoolCore™ Anti-Chafe Tech Shirt (APC-C40), and HyperBreathe™ Seamless Conditioning Tee (APC-C41) eliminate sandbag shoulder chafing and dry 3x faster than standard gym shirts.
