Kit & Preparation

KIT GUIDELINES

There are two mandatory kit lists on this page: individual and team kit. They are all essential to your race-safety, as well as helping your enjoyment. The final definitive kit list will be emailed to all team captains in advance of each Rat Race event and you will be notified in the case of amendments or modifications. The race organisers will check that you have all kit listed here before, during or after the race, and if there is an omission, then a time penalty may be applied.
