Kit List
EQUIPMENT
All entrants need to be appropriately equipped to deal with the weather conditions on the day. The event may be in July but Exmoor often has its own ideas! Clothing needs to be appropriate for both running and swimming in the conditions of the day. For example, this could come in the shape of technical shorts and t-shirt or a Tri-suit. Footwear needs to be supportive and have sufficient grip to deal with the mixed terrain. Also, light enough to run and swim in. We recommend a technical trail running shoe with deep tread. Head to your nearest outdoor retailer for some useful advice.
