Headlamp for Night Time Trail Race

I am looking for some insight from someone who has more time trail running with a headlamp under their belt than I do. I live in Florida and will be completing a few trail races this summer that are night time races. I've already purchased the new Petzl Swift RL with the ultra light band. I always wear a hat while running but was the thinner band a mistake? It feel comfortable but I haven't logged a 20 mile run on it either. The classic band isn't available locally so I wasn't able to compare both. I'll attach a picture of both. Both have the same padding around the front and the ultra light band is super easy to adjust on the fly. Supposedly the classic band is as well. 92g vs. 95g so the weight is a non factor.
