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.
