Gear for this race

Chosen for 100 km of trail with 1,150 m of ascent.

Trail Running Shoes 100 km of trail — cushioning that is still there in the last quarter.
Race Nutrition Past 100 km the palate quits before the legs do — carry more than one flavour.
Hydration Vests Flask capacity for 100 km, without the bounce.
Headlamps A 24 h limit puts you out there after dark.
Accessories Chafe and blisters end more 100 km races than fitness does.

RunRepeat found the Brooks Catamount 3 to have a cozier upper that enhances the overall fit, though breathability and durability could be better. iRunFar noted…
