Pack this
- Headlamp with spare batteries for the pre-dawn ultra start
- Lightweight windproof jacket for exposed volcanic ridges near 2,400m
- Two 500ml soft flasks + electrolyte tabs for long, hot, shadeless stretches
- Sunscreen, cap and sunglasses for strong high-altitude sun
- Collapsible cup, whistle and survival blanket
What you should know
- Check the official mandatory gear list for your distance; kit checks may happen at bib pickup or on course.
- The ultra climbs from sea level to around 2,400m, so expect thinner air and big temperature swings.
- Loose volcanic gravel makes the long descents technical; save your quads and look at gaiters.
- Ridge sections are exposed with little shade; at 22°C you still need to drink and take salt regularly.
- Check intermediate cutoffs and drop-bag rules in the race guide before race day; plan your pacing to beat them.
