Kit Information
Full Kit List
Waterproof/windproof top
Waterproof/windproof legs
Hat
Gloves
Compass
Whistle
Food and Drink as needed for the conditions
Own map of race route (optional - maps are provided but are often poor)
Something to carry above in if not needed (Bumbag/Rucksack)
You’ll need to take all of the above with you to the race - even if it looks dry when you leave home. At the race the Race Organiser (RO) will make a decision as to what you need to take with you. When you know what kit you must take with you, you then have to make a decision as to what to wear and what to pack. If like me, you’ll be pondering this right up to the start!
Most fell runners stash all their kit they’re not wearing into a ‘bumbag’ but some use a hydration sack (small rucksack designed to carry minimal gear and a water bladder).
Sometimes you’ll carry nothing at all, your compass and map if you need them, can go in a pocket.
