Adventure Racing Gear Guide
There is no denying that adventure racers tend to love gear! But that doesn't mean you need to drop a mint to get started in the sport. Sprint-length adventure races require little more than a mountain bike and a good
pair of running shoes.The links to the left provide typical gear lists for various length races, along with some gear recommendations. You should mark all of your gear with your name (and once you have an established team, the team's name); gear often gets mixed together and being able to sort it out quickly after the race is key. A metallic pen and a Sharpie will mark pretty much anything you'll be using in adventure racing. (But you should use climbing-specific marking tabs to mark any load bearing climbing gear because ink can weaken fabric climbing gear).
