Race tekapo 12KM

---

The gear list below is compulsory. If you wish to carry extra items that you would usually take when running then please do so. While the Aid Stations will supply you with nutrition at various points along the course, it is recommended you carry with you any extra items you might require during the 16km - including any specific nutrition or fluid the Aid Stations may not provide.  

On Friday 12th September the Race Director along with the Safety Manager will decide if the Compulsory Gear can become Recommended Gear. The team will be making a decision based on weather forecasts and track conditions for race day. This will be announced on Friday 12th September via email and social media. Please come prepared for alpine weather - if we do compulsory gear checks and you do not have the correct gear then you will not be able to race. 

IF THE WEATHER FORECAST DEEMS IT NECESSARY TO CARRY COMPULSORY GEAR, WE WILL DO RANDOM GEAR CHECKS FOR THE 21KM, 16KM, AND 12KM EVENTS on the morning of the race. If you are not carrying gear you will be disqualified from the race.

Remember: no gear checks will be done on Friday 12th September at Race Registration. Random gear checks will be done on race day prior to your race starting. If announced, the compulsory gear may be dropped to ‘recommended gear’ - check your email and social media on Friday 12th September for any updates.

• Long sleeved thermal/merino.
