EQUIPMENT

The Antarctica Ultramarathon requires some specialised gear and clothing. Competitors are recommended to bring 34 equipment items plus a drop bag with six items for race. You may bring additional items.

Review the Equipment List carefully to ensure you have every item you need. The list includes detailed descriptions, photos, and recommended makes and models. 

A 20–25L pack is recommended, and you should aim to keep the total weight under 10kg / 22lbs.

Note: If you are taking part in the UltraLite, you'll be required to carry the same Mandatory Equipment as competitors in The Last Desert (Antarctica).

Some items can be purchased through the RacingThePlanet Store or Expedition Foods. Competitors receive a discount (email us for the code), but please note that shipping is not available to all countries.
