Equipment
It is recommended that each participant has the following equipment to ensure their safety:
Suitable footwear: Specific trail running shoes are the best option for grip and support, but traditional running shoes are also suitable, as long as they have sufficient tread remaining on the sole.
Given the course is up in the Pukeiti ranges, a waterproof or wind-resistant jacket would be helpful: A jacket that will protect you from the changeable weather conditions is useful (but not compulsory), and can be tied around the waist if it is not needed.
It is highly recommended that participants have some warm dry clothes to change into after the event.
Food and drink

We will be supplying electrolyte replacement drink at the finish area but we are a cupless event so there will be NO CUPS supplied.
