Mandatory Equipment

WHY MANDATORY EQUIPMENT?


Choosing suitable equipment is a key factor to the success of your race. Be sure to test your kit and your equipment before the big day to avoid unwanted surprises.

In order to ensure the safety and the smooth running of the event, each participant must carry all items listed in the mandatory equipment checklist (see below), and carry all equipment during the race, even if the runner does not use it.

You have to bring the full list of mandatory equipment below. Please note that you might be checked at any time during your race by the organisation and race officials.
