Drop Bags  & Compulsory Gear

Drop Bags

Drop bags are to be dropped off on Friday afternoon/Saturday morning when you register. You are to provide the bag for your gear, we will have labels available if you need them. They will then be transported to the following locations.  

  • Ultra

    • Check point #1 – 22.2km  

    • Check point #2 – 42.2km  

  • Marathon

    • Check point #2 - 24.4km

Compulsory Gear 

This is gear you (everyone!) must take with you on your run, from the start to the finish.

While some of this gear may seem excessive, we ask you to bring it for your safety. You may not need it while you are running but if something happens and you have to stop you will need it. The event is on very exposed, rugged country and it can be very cold if you have to stay in one spot. 
Please see below for your distance specific list. These will be checked at Registration prior to you collecting your race number.
