If you are in any doubt about any aspect of the race kit requirements, suitable footwear, etc, please email us at enquiries@mountainrun.co.uk well in advance of the race.

Must be worn:

• Vest or Short Sleeve base layer top (NO COTTON)
• Shorts or tights (3/4 tights acceptable)
• Mountain/Trail running shoes (NO ROAD SHOES) - We recommend Scarpa: Golden Gate Kima RT, Golden Gate 2 and the Spin ST

Must be worn or carried:

• Waterproof jacket with hood and taped seams (water resistant products are not acceptable)
• Waterproof trousers with taped seams (water resistant products are not acceptable)
• Spare Long Sleeved Base Layer Top (NO COTTON).
• Hat, Buff or similar

• Head Torch
• Survival Bag (space blankets are not acceptable)
• Whistle (to be used in case of distress: 6 long blasts on the minute, every minute)
• 200 Calories of emergency food (must be unused at the finish unless you had an emergency, or you will be disqualified)
• GPS and/or Map & Compass.
• First aid kit (minimum contents: bandage, plasters, pain killers but please NO ANTI INFLAMMATORIES [NSAIDS] as these have been known to cause renal failure in race situations)
• Race Vest, Race Pack or Bumbag
• Safety pins x 4 (or other device for attaching race number)

In addition to the items listed above, we strongly advise you take account of the prevailing weather conditions & dress accordingly. Your kit should be sufficient to keep you warm in the event that you are injured and have to make a long, slow walk back to safety.

The Race Director reserves the right to ask for additional warm clothing (e.g. tights or insulating jacket) to be worn or carried if, in his/her judgment, the weather conditions on race day demand it. You will be informed of any additional requirements at the pre-race safety talk, with a final decision being made 30 minutes before the start.

Please arrive prepared.

To not have ALL of the MANDATORY kit list will mean you will not be allowed to race!
