well, what's the distance?
Whatever you want. This is like asking someone what brand of singlet and shorts to buy. Just go to a tri store and try something on.
Get a tri top (usually sleeveless, zips up, tight fitting for aerodynamics). Wear a tight layer underneath if it's cold.
Get tri shorts, not cycling shorts. The chamois in cycling shorts/bibs is way too thick and large to run comfortably in.
Scratch what I said about tight layer underneath. Wear arm warmers if it's cold.
and if there is no "tri" store near me?

Come on, problem solve. Order something online. Just wear compression shorts if the race is fairly short, you probably won't even notice if you are racing. Or a pair of old bike shorts with worn thin chamois.
Farmer John trisuit, one piece, fits like a glove, no worries.
