Compulsory Paddling Equipment

Recommended Paddling Equipment

Wetsuit - a full wetsuit is unlikely to be necessary on the paddle as it restricts movement and adds to fatigue. A combination of wetsuit shorts, thermals and cag, or a ‘Farmer John’ style wetsuit would be more appropriate.
a variety of paddle clothing depending on the conditions eg a Cag (kayak dry jacket with neoprene cuffs, collars and waist that can be fastened), Neoprene or similar, Booties.
Paddle leash (to prevent paddle being lost) and boat leash.
Water / hydration drink and food.

Recommended Mountain Bike Equipment

Wrist bands

ALL competitors be sure to attach your wristband (should be attached by race staff at time of registration) to your wrist as without this you will NOT be allowed inside the transition areas (TAs) and you will NOT be allowed to remove equipment from TAs. You will also not get fed at the end of the race if you don’t have one!
You will also receive 2 wrist bands for your support crew. Please ensure that they wear them as no one without a wrist band will be permitted into any transition area!

Race Number

ALL competitors will have their race number written on their arm/leg during registration. Please DO NOT wash it off. This number is used if you or one of your team-mates either withdraw from the race or do not make a cut off time.

Timing transponder

All entrants will be given a timing transponder at registration to attach to your ankle as you go around the course. This timing transponder (along with your race bib) is also the relay baton for teams, so you MUST transfer it from one team mate to the next inside each transition area. Take your time securing the timing transponder and ensure it is properly attached before proceeding as this will avoid loss of chip (with a $50 replacement charge), incorrect times being registered and us going out to look for you!
NOTE: Upon accepting the timing transponder at registration you become responsible for wearing it during the race and then returning it to us at the end of the race. If you withdraw from the event at any time please ensure you return the transponder to an event official ASAP. Failure to return the transponder will result in a fee to you of $50 (this is cost price to us for losing them!)

Kayak stickers

You will receive 2 kayak stickers, place one on each side of the front of your kayak so that you can be identified from both sides.

Bike number plate

You will receive a number plate to go on your bike so you can be identified whilst on the bike course. Make sure you firmly attach the number plate to the handle bars of your bike using the zip ties provided.

Other items provided in your registration bags:

Kayak / bike / run equipment collection tokens. You or your support crew must present these when collecting the appropriate equipment from each TA.
Swim Cap – these must be worn by all swimmers during the swim leg
