Equipment
Most specialty outdoor gear retailers will offer a broad selection of equipment necessary for any length of adventure race. Basic equipment for sprint races should include:
- Mountain bike, including a basic tool kit and biking specific helmet;
- Backpacks with water bladder (hydration pack); and
- Equipment specified by race directors.
Note: typically paddling gear will be provided by race directors for sprint level races, although on occasion racers will be required to provide their own life jacket.

“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
