All items listed as mandatory must be carried with you at all times whilst on course unless specifically stated otherwise. Mandatory gear is not intended to be left in drop bags, with crew or at aid stations.

Mandatory gear checks are conducted at Registration / Bib Collection for the 46k and 23k races. Spot checks may also be carried out on course or at the finish line for all races. Penalties, including time penalties or disqualification, may be applied for missing mandatory gear depending on the severity of the breach.

Please expect to carry the full mandatory gear list shown for your race on race day. SingleTrack Events reserves the right to add, remove or modify mandatory gear requirements in the days leading up to the event based on weather forecasts or other safety considerations. Any changes will be communicated to participants before the race.

Please bring all mandatory gear with you to the event. Participants who do not present the required gear at registration or mandatory gear checks may not be permitted to start.

Trail running is an adventure, but self sufficiency is part of the sport. Please take the mandatory gear requirements seriously and ensure you arrive prepared.
