The gear lists for each event are compulsory. If you wish to carry extra items that you would usually take when running or walking then please do so.
We highly recommend you use trail shoes for the event as the courses are mainly off-road.
Lake Tekapo is 710m above sea level. The event is at a time of year (and location) where any weather is possible. Mt John is 1031m above sea level and very exposed. Please respect our gear requirements and remember: gear is there for when things go wrong, not when things are going right.
There are no gear requirements for the 5km event or Kids Dash, although ensure you check the weather forecast and dress appropriately.
Survival Bags/Emergency Bags are far superior to a Survival Blanket in exposed conditions.
Survival bags are like a rubbish sack that you can climb inside and tighten up around your shoulders. The cost of a bag is minimum (around $10), and should be in your kit for outdoor use in general.
We will not accept a blanket over a bag no matter the weather on the day, so please do not question our decision surrounding this. You can purchase a Survival Bag from most outdoors stores, including Outside Sports.
Gear Checks will occur either during Race Registration on Friday 15th, OR at the following times on the morning of the race:
Please do not come to get your gear checked or register outside of these times to ensure the morning runs smoothly for everyone.
