Mandatory Gear & Other Info

The mandatory gear list contains what we believe is the absolute minimum to keep you safe during the event and in Kaga-city’s unpredictable weather systems. If you would normally take something extra on a run of this duration, you should still take it.

MANDATORY GEAR LISTS

Runners at Kaga Spa Trail Endurance 100 by UTMB will be required to carry a set of mandatory gear throughout their race.

The course passes through remote trails, where protection from the elements and medical/support services could be some time/distance from athletes needing assistance. It is therefore imperative that the mandatory gear is carried at all times.

PLEASE NOTE: To reduce waste, we are a cup-less event. Athletes are required to carry their own drinking cup, bottle or hydration vest that they can use at aid stations for the selection of drinks. We recommend you also carry water between aid stations.
