As per NIMRA Rules, Hiking Poles are NOT PERMITTED at this Championship race.
Participants will not be permitted to start the race, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, should they not have the equipment listed.
We would also recommend appropriate off-road mountain running shoes, or trail shoes at a minimum. These are a strong recommendation as opposed to a mandatory requirement, like the above list.
Random kit checks will take place at various stages of the race, including the finish line. Anyone found without the relevant kit will be disqualified.
