You will usually need to wear long trousers/running tights. This is in order to prevent getting scratched by brambles and undergrowth in the countryside. You can wear a t-shirt or long sleeved top.

For urban events you’ll be running mainly on pavements and through parks so your regular running/walking gear is fine. You will not need to wear long trousers for these.

A compass is very useful, particularly for the more difficult courses (you can use a smartphone compass). At events in the countryside you will be asked to carry a whistle.

At some events, particularly in the winter, there may be additional requirements such as carrying waterproofs; this will be mentioned in the event details.
