Additional Equipment

- Keep in mind that it can be very cold on top of the mountains, especially during the night. It may be useful to have gloves and headband or bonnet in your backpack

- Take walking sticks with you! They can also be very useful for the downhill running, you have a better foothold with the sticks, especially in the case the paths are muddy

- Don’t forget a jacket that keeps you warm in case of rainy weather

- Take the best and lightest headlamp with you, you can get

- Absolutely necessary: trail running shoes! Wear them a lot of training kilometres in advance so that they get more flexible and that you know, where the critical points for blisters are. Before starting the race: make a flexible tape on the critical points to avoid blisters

- Take plasters with you!
