Singlet
Shorts
Lightweight gloves
Stocking hat (optional)
If you are a warm weather person possibly wear a lightweight long sleeve shirt
I'm a bit of a cold-weather wimp. Long sleeved t-shirt, shorts with briefs underneath, hat and gloves.

Dumb question, weather doesn't matter for indoors

It says OUTdoor twice.
Hat, singlet, arm warmers, gloves, half tights, socks, shoes.
Me personally, full length tights, long sleeve under singlet, hat, gloves. My legs get wonky when they get too cold.

This (with the hat). Just do a good warm-up with pants and LS shirt or jacket then strip down just prior to start. 25 isn't that bad once when you are racing.
A significant wind could be a game changer.
How windy will it be? If you have to run into a 10-15 mph wind for much of the race, it will be much worse than calm conditions. Sunny/cloudy will matter a bit too.
I'd probably go tights and a long sleeve semi-fitted top (don't want to be spandex man, but a baggy shirt and tights would be kind of weird) plus gloves and a thin hat. I'm kind of a wimp in the cold weather sometimes though.
Tights
running skirt
arm warmers
singlet
gloves
ear warmers (same color as tights)
hat
ipod
fanny pack
sun glasses
sport bra
socks
shoes
race bib
I always forget to check the wind chill, which makes a big difference.
