RUN

IMPORTANT: you have to bring with you the equipment for the whole running course

Since you will have to face a high altitude path (in the final stretch over 2000 meters above sea level), probably in the dark, and since the weather is always very variable, both the athlete and supporter must necessarily be provided for the whole run fraction of race, of the following equipment: 

  • Waterproof * and breathable** windbreaker (shell) with hood, suitable for bad weather conditions of mountains (GoreTex material is absolutely recommended)
    * minimum 10,000 mm of water column.
    ** RET less than 13
    – the jacket must have an integrated hood
    – the jacket must not have permeable parts
    Athletes can decide if the jacket complies with the rules and it can be suitable for bad weather in the mountains; in any case, in the event of checks, only the employees of the organization will be able to decide that.
  • Long-sleeved thermal shirt
  • Long pants
  • Thermal Hat or thermic Buff
  • Working Headlamp

N.B. The athlete’s equipment can be carried by the supporter.
