A peeling scalp from a previous sunburn is gross, and I've had my share of skin cancers. My fault as I LOVE to run on nice bright sunny days, and I can't find a sunscreen that doesn't give me a rash :-( I usually wear a white mesh cap on hot sunny days. The BEST is when you can grab a handful of ice and stick it under your cap as you run. Feels SO good.
Marathons don't usually have ice tho :-(

Has there been any research done on benefits from wearing a cap? I've never seen any elites wear them. Although, Meb wore that blue thing during the Olympic Trials. Do we know why? Why blue and not white?
Seko, Salazar and others wore caps for at least part of the 1984 Olympic Marathon.
