Weather
Humid 28°C
Pack this
- Trail shoes with aggressive lugs (e.g. Inov-8 or Salomon Speedcross)
- Snug-fit moisture-wicking top and shorts — no loose cotton
- Light grip gloves for rigs, monkey bars, and rope climb
- Two 500ml handheld bottles + electrolyte tabs for the humidity
- Dry change of clothes, towel, and flip-flops for bag check
What you should know
- Failed obstacles cost 30 burpees each — pace your upper body, not just your run, especially on the Super 10K.
- Expect mud, submersion, and barbed-wire crawls; remove watches and jewelry and tape chafe-prone spots before the start.
- 28°C with NC humidity means real heat-stress risk — drink at every aid station and watch for cramping or dizziness.
- Bib pickup is typically Friday or race-morning at the festival area; bring photo ID and a signed waiver.
- Bag check is provided but valuables stay at your own risk — leave car keys with a spectator if possible.
