I want to come run with you guys, what should I bring?

We are a self-sufficient group. Each runner is expected to bring water, water-bottle/s (or hydration pack), food, salt tablets, etc. It is often hard for first-time distance runners to judge the amount of water/food they should bring. If you have any doubts it’s always safer to bring more than less. Here is a guide which should help.

note: this guide is subject to change depending on weather conditions and from runner to runner.
* under 10 miles—1 water bottle and 1–2 gel packets (or food of similar calories)
* 10–15 miles—1–2 water bottles (or hydration pack) and 2–3 gel packets and 1–2 salt tablets
* 15–20 miles—2–3 water bottles (or hydration pack) and 2 gels and one energy bar and 3–4 salt tablets

—please remember that this is a general guideline. Each runner has his or her own fueling needs. And more importantly weather conditions can make this guide fluctuate wildly.
