Mountain marathon kit guide
Pack for
the OMM.
Two days. Your team.
Everything you need.
Start with the essentials.
Each individual and team is responsible for being properly equipped for two days of unsupported racing in exposed terrain at the end of October. Use the mandatory equipment checklist below to tick off your kit as you pack.
Your responsibility
This list is a minimum requirement only. Check the weather forecast and use your previous experience and sound judgement to decide what you should wear and carry.
The organisers reserve the right to disqualify any competitors who, in their opinion, do not have the necessary kit to survive in an emergency situation.
Kit checks & registration
Random kit checks may take place at any time during the weekend.
You do not need to bring your kit to registration. Bring just one rucksack so that the tracker can be attached.
Each competitor must wear or carry every item marked Personal.
Each team must carry all items marked Team at all times: cooking equipment, stove and fuel; one tent with a sewn-in groundsheet; and food for 36 hours for two or three people.
Your ticks are saved in this browser. Shared kit should be agreed with your team.
