ULTRAMARATHON MANDATORY KIT LIST

Most UK ultramarathon events publish a mandatory kit list, which runners are required to carry throughout the race. These rules are in place for your safety, especially when running in remote areas where weather can change quickly.

To help you get ready, I’ve put together a list of ultramarathon kit essentials. Many of these items appear on standard mandatory kit lists used by race organisers across the UK. Having the correct gear not only keeps you safe, but also ensures you don’t risk disqualification.

Above you’ll find the most common items, along with recommended running gear options available through Amazon and other online shops.
