Your ultramarathon kit guide

Pre-Event kit

• Secure your family and friends who will be cheering you through that finish line
• Plan your travel and book your extras

Carry on your ultra-marathon:

We have an abundance of supplies at our basecamp and pitstops but it’s always sensible to carry a range of items for when you’re on the trail

• Medical kit – Bring the basics and we have medical teams on hand at our pitstops and basecamp. Harrier’s Mini Runner First Aid Kit is compact, lightweight, packable and waterproof, and contains essential first aid items for trail and ultra runners / walkers.
• LifeJacket Suncream
• Waterproof jacket – check out Harrier’s best-selling Exmoor 
• Fully-charged mobile phone
• At least 750ml water – Harrier Soft Bottles and Water Bladders offer a flexible and
  comfortable way to carry 1 litre + of water on your ultra. Use different colours to carry different energy and electrolytes. A good hydration set up in your race vest will ensure a balance of weight around your body whilst running.
• Some of your favourite trail snacks – remember we have a full range at each pitstop from the likes of Perkier
• Head torch and spare batteries
• Emergency cash/debit card
• Headwear – to protect you from the sun – check out the awesome VAGA range

Overnight base camp:

• Sleeping bag
• Camping mat
• Waterproof kit
• Quick dry towel
• Spare change of clothes to enjoy basecamp and keep warm
• Pillow or travel pillow
• Eye mask – for a deeper, better quality sleep
• Earplugs – people run through the night so avoid being disturbed
• Warm PJs – the temperature can drop at night and you’re more prone to the cold post-run
