COMPULSORY GEAR
Even though this is a Summer run, you will still need compulsory gear as weather can still be changeable. Note that face masks/coverings are now a compulsory item.
PLEASE NOTE: This list may be minimised if the weather is looking perfect. Please bring it all with you just in case!

Recommended Items

- Calf/Arm Sleeves mainly for the first trail section along Frith trail as there is gorse and other spiky elements.
- A PLB (Personal Locator Beacon)
- Tramping poles (Not for everyone I know, but if you wish to use them - feel free). If you wish to use them for part of the event, you will need a supporter to take them to the particular section (Mt Climie for example). I took some for the first 43km and found them handy, especially Norbert Creek Loop (around 26km mark). You'll understand when you get there.
