Some of the marathon races held on hot season, it’s easy to overheat during the race and to suffer heat stroke, expecially running on the Southeast Asian countries.
I always use the marathon cooling sponges which can grab on each aid station/gel and sponge station to keep cooling.
Except squeezing the sponge on the head directly to let the ice water flow through your skin. There is a better way to keep you cooling, just remember to grab a few couple of ice cubes while you taking the sponge from the station, put the ice cubes on the top of the sports sponge, then put your hat on over both…as the ice cubes will melt into the sponge, it create a cool spot on your head and a nice trickle of water running down your neck.
You can also use your running headband or outdoor headscarf to bind up with the sponge, our cooling sponge can hold 25ml-30ml water at minimum, then you can squeez it in several times to let the water to cool your body down slowly.
We have several colors of the marathon sponge/sports sponge available, and they have been already tested on many races.
We can also custom make the shape and color of the sponge according to your requirment, just feel free to contact us and ask for a quote.
