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 100 km almost certainly means running into the night.
