What You Should Bring

Yourself! And your family. Your friends. Maaaaaaaybe your enemies... 

Water will be provided along the trail, snacks will be provided afterward. 

If the weather is sunny you shouldn't need a headlamp for this race. Although it is at 8 pm, the Sun won't be down until 8:30 pm and we'll have a little light left over even after that. It will be more of an 'evening run' rather than a 'night run'. If you do bring a headlamp, please be aware of the other runners' vision (please don't blind people).
