Here is information on the gear bins/duffels teams may stage their equipment in.

As a competitor in Untamed New England, you and your team are required to carry a number of mandatory gear items with you. The mandatory gear is divided into two categories, equipment you and your team must carry at ALL times, and equipment you and your team must carry during a specific DISCIPLINE. It is not a list of what you should take, just the mandatory items that you must take as a minimum safety standard or to complete specific portions of the course.

Remember, this is not a complete list of what you should carry, but just a starting off point. You are responsible for carrying the appropriate equipment and clothing for the climate, conditions, and activities. There will be random equipment checks during the race.

Keep in mind that you must be self-sufficient for the duration of the event. You may go 12-hours or longer between transition areas, so be prepared with food, water, water-purification, etc. We aren't saying how often teams will have access to gear bins, but don't count on seeing them more than a couple times during this 24-hour race.

Outside maps are NOT permitted. GPS devices are NOT permitted.

Altimeters are allowed.
