Gear for this race

Chosen for 100 km of trail with 5,181 m of ascent.

Trail Running Shoes 52 m of climb per kilometre — grip and rock protection before cushioning.
Race Nutrition Past 100 km the palate quits before the legs do — carry more than one flavour.
Hydration Vests Pole attachment and chest-strap stability on steep ground.
Trekking Poles 5,181 m of ascent to walk up.
Headlamps 100 km almost certainly means running into the night.
