Racers typically wear a cycle jersey, base layer, running shorts/ leggings, socks & trail running shoes and bike shoes during a race.  Waterproof jacket and over pants are often needed in poor weather conditions and at night. Gloves, buffs are also used during races and all racers would typically have spare kit available in gear bags to change into during a race.

A good quality day pack is required for the beast to carry all mandatory kit, food, water and spare clothing items during the race. Typically, a 25-30lt pack would be used on races like this, with a platypus water holder.
