Gear for this race

Chosen for 200 km of trail.

Trail Running Shoes 200 km of trail — cushioning that is still there in the last quarter.
Race Nutrition Past 200 km the palate quits before the legs do — carry more than one flavour.
Hydration Vests Flask capacity for 200 km, without the bounce.
Headlamps 200 km almost certainly means running into the night.
Accessories Chafe and blisters end more 200 km races than fitness does.
