Mandatory Equipment for all athletes

Ultra Trail Dubai requires runners to carry all the Mandatory Equipment for the entire race, no matter which distance you enter. The weather can change drastically during the day as the trails take runners into mountainous terrain.

NOTE: If any Mandatory Equipment is not on your person during the race or at the finish, time penalties ranging from 15-30 minutes per item will be imposed.
