Gear for this race

Chosen for 108 km of trail.

Trail Running Shoes 108 km of trail — cushioning that is still there in the last quarter.
Race Nutrition Past 108 km the palate quits before the legs do — carry more than one flavour.
Hydration Vests Flask capacity for 108 km, without the bounce.
Headlamps 108 km almost certainly means running into the night.
Accessories Chafe and blisters end more 108 km races than fitness does.
