WHAT GEAR?

Participation at a trail running event requires a certain level of autonomy and safety.  See below list of items that are either required or recommended to participate at EcoTrail Wicklow and other Trail Races:

• Trail Running Shoes:
  Trail Running Shoes offer extra grip and protection when on uneven, lose or wet terrain.
• Water Container:
  This is the first mandatory kit.  Choose soft flasks or hydration packs. Consider as well to bring a small cup for aid stations as NO BOTTLES OR CUP WILL BE GIVEN!  
• Backpack:
  Trail running backpack are designed to fit around your shoulders, chest and back and are designed to prevent elements from bouncing around when you run. 
• Hat/Cap:
  Ideal for sunny, rainy or cold weather
• Windproof/Showerproof Jacket:
  Irish weather is very unpredictable.  A jacket will prevent from getting cold and wet.
• Walking/Running Sticks:
  Some love them, some hate them, but they do work when needed.  There are various collapsable lightweight models out there
• Energy Food:
  Trail Running is one of the sports that burns the most energy.  Depending on your distance you might want to bring sugary snacks or energy gel (WARNING:  NO LITTER PLEASE!)

Please do not hesitate to engage with the stores above who can give recommendation and tips on your gear.
