At all times, teams must carry:
- At least one pack or other means to carry gear for all team members

- Water bottles or a hydration system to keep each team member hydrated for two hours
- Closed-toe shoes

Recommended Team Gear
- A dry bag or some way to keep equipment dry
- A camera or camera phone
- A compass
- Spare tube and repair kit for the bike
- A tarp or blanket for your gear at the start/finish/transition area

- Long pants. There are some sections of the course where you may have the option to leave the trail and travel through open woods or hike through un-mowed fields. We recommend wearing long pants for comfort and protection against scrapes and ticks.
