Your ultramarathon kit guide

Pre-Event kit

• Sports nutrition – practice on what will fuel you through the race such as HIGH5
• Your ultra-marathon kit – training in your kit will make sure you are organised, comfortable, and prepared for the big day.
• Make sure your feet are ultra-ready with Profeet 3D analysis, custom insoles and footwear
• Secure your family and friends who will be cheering you through that finish line
• Plan your travel and book your extras

Carry on your ultra-marathon:

We have an abundance of supplies at our basecamp and pitstops but it’s always sensible to carry a range of items for when you’re on the trail

• Medical kit – Bring the basics and we have TrailMed medical teams on hand at our pitstops and basecamp.
• Suncream
• Waterproof jacket
• Fully-charged mobile phone
• At least 750ml water – find a comfortable way to carry 1 litre + of water on your ultra. Use different colours to carry different energy and electrolytes. A good hydration set up in your race vest will ensure a balance of weight around your body whilst running.
• Some of your favourite trail snacks
• Head torch and spare batteries
• Emergency cash/debit card
• Headwear – to protect you from the sun

Overnight base camp:

• Sleeping bag
• Camping mat
• Waterproof kit
• Quick dry towel
• Spare change of clothes to enjoy basecamp and keep warm
• Pillow or travel pillow
• Eye mask – for a deeper, better quality sleep
• Earplugs – people run through the night so avoid being disturbed
• Warm PJs – the temperature can drop at night and you’re more prone to the cold post-run
