HART's Recommended Gear Lists
Each race will have their own mandatory gear. Read it carefully.

Sprint Races (2-6 hours)

• Shoes
• Socks – Your feet will get wet during any adventure race, regardless of the distance. Wear socks that will dry quickly. Cotton is a very bad choice.
• Mountain bike
• Helmet
• Spare bike tube and tools to change a flat tire (pump, tire levers)
• Hydration system – A Camelbak hydration pack that can hold 50-70 ounces will be sufficient for a sprint race.
• Food

Day Races (8-24 hours)

• Shoes – You might consider taking 2 or 3 pairs of shoes.
• Socks – And you’ll probably want a few pairs of extra socks, too.
• Mountain bike
• Helmet
• Spare bike tubes and tools to change a flat tire (pump, tire levers)
• Hydration system (100 ounces)
• Food
• Headlamp - Your adventure may take you into the night, so you’ll need some light.
• Extra batteries
• Compass – If you choose a race that requires navigation, you will need a compass, the ability to read a map, the ability to plot UTM coordinates on a map, possibly a straight-edge to draw grid lines on your map, and a waterproof map case.
• Knife
• Whistle – in case you get lost
• Duct tape
• Gaiters – Sometimes you will have to bushwhack through some thick brush. You’ll want gaiters to protect your legs.
• Race-specific gear such as kayak paddles, personal floatation device (a.k.a. "life jacket"), climbing harness and shoes, snorkeling gear.
• Team first-aid kit including band-aids, moleskin (for blisters), cortisone cream (for poison ivy), Benedryl, Aleve, Immodium AD, and electrolyte tablets.

Multi-day Races (24 hours and longer)

Gear for multi-day races is similar to the gear you would need for a day race. But, you will need more of it. You will need more batteries, more spare bike tubes, more food, more water, more first-aid equipment, and a larger backpack to carry all this gear.
