Zumbro 100 Mile Race Check List:

People always assume that running is a pretty cheap sport and it is. Unfortunately racing is a whole different thing, it turns out is quite expensive. Not only do you have to buy endless number of running shoes, but the race fees, travel, nutrition and as you can see below a lot of extras if you want to run Ultras.

As I get ready to do my first 100 mile trail race this Friday (Zumbro 100) I want to make sure that I have everything I need or may need while I'm out there. Below is my check list of things that I got in preparation for my race. There are a lot of things that I'm really hoping that I don't have to use, such as duct tape and super glue. Yes, I have heard of runners that have had to duct tape and glue themselves back together in order to continue racing, let's hope I don't have to do that. Anyways here is what I am bringing to the race on Friday some of it is for my crew, I am trying to take care of them a bit, but most of it is for me. It is a lot longer list than I originally thought but I suppose you better be safe than sorry.
