NGAR Gear List
The following is the mandatory gear list for the NGAR.
We have done our best to keep the gear list to a minimum, as individual needs vary from person to person. Please remember that the NGAR has historically had very difficult weather conditions and you and your team need to prepare and carry gear to be self sufficient during the duration of the race. While we will have safety staff available, the NGAR course is in remote areas that can take a considerable time to reach. Additionally, we're not going to baby you by telling you to bring obvious things like a water purification system, headlamp, extra tube, or paddle. Figure out what you need and bring it.
Please take the time to train in conditions that could mirror what you will find at the NGAR and learn what you need to stay safe.
