The race is an INDEX level event within the UTMB family. Longer events (45 km and above) have mandatory gear requirements including a mobile phone, rain jacket if rain is predicted, water/electrolyte and nutrition, and a compression bandage; some ultra distances require additional items such as a hi-vis vest, headlamp and thermal top.
