The following is a list of the mandatory gear that each person and each team will need to have in order to compete in this race. These are the bare essentials and failure to show all of them before the start or at any time during the race will cause your team to be removed from the race. There will be no exceptions.
This list is the minimum gear you will need. Teams are free to bring other items as long they fit into the team transition bin or are carried by the team during the race.
If you have any questions please email us and we will clarify any misunderstandings. This list is subject to change but racers will be alerted if that is the case.
