Hi all,
following is a list of the recommended equipment for the relay including equipment we must have and that will be checked at race day check-in.
Please look over the list, especially the team items, see what you have available that can be used. E-mail me with the items you have and I will may a check next to the item. Note that there are many more items we will need that they do not mention for example sleeping equipment, tents etc. We will make a list of those items as we get closer to the race and figure out the logistics.
