Mandatory Gear

Mandatory gear lists for TMILER, T102, T50 & T21

The mandatory gear list contains what we believe is the absolute minimum to keep you safe during the event and in New Zealand's unpredictable weather systems. If you would normally take something extra on a run of this duration, you should still take it. The course passes through remote trails, where protection from the elements and medical/support services could be some time/distance from athletes needing assistance. It is therefore imperative that the mandatory gear is carried at all times.

MANDATORY GEAR LISTS

Runners at Tarawera Ultra-Trail by UTMB will be required to carry a set of mandatory gear throughout their race.

In order to reduce waste, we are a cup-less event. Athletes are strongly advised to carry their own drinking cup, bottle or hydration vest that they can use at aid stations for the selection of drinks. We recommend you also carry water between aid stations.

All runners in TMiler, T102 & T50 need to have their mandatory gear checked before they can collect their race pack at Athlete Check-in. Gear check stores can perform an early gear check until 14 February - see here for the list of stores that do this service. For Australian gear check stores please see here.This is the best option to save you time and effort during race-week.
