Mandatory equipment

Although weather in Latvia furing the month of August is typically warm, it can get very hot (more than 30°C), or very cold (up to +5°C), with rain, hail or strong winds. Your equipment must be suitable for confronting all types of conditions and allow you to spend one night outdoors, on the race route, depending on your speed of progress. In case of an incident, your equipment must also allow you to wait for the rescue team in sufficiently safe conditions.

You must carry the mandatory equipment with you during the whole race - from start to finish - or you will be penalized. Race stewards may check your equipment at any time during the race.

Don't forget that the equipment we request includes an essential list of basic items that each trail runner must adapt according to their own abilities. We highly recommend you to test it during training sessions under different conditions and to carry everything you need with you.
