Trail running shoes
The Runners' lab North C Trail is largely off-road. To handle these conditions more easily, trail shoes are recommended.
​
Hydration systems
The Runners' lab North C Trail is a cupless event. This means there will be no plastic cups available at the aid stations, so be sure to bring your own soft cup or flask.
During a trail run, there are often fewer aid stations than at a road race. That's why it's important to carry your own hydration. Several hydration systems exist. The most common are soft flasks or running vests. Vests also offer space for other essentials such as bars, gels, or a jacket.
Breathable clothing, adapted to the weather
March 8. it's a date when the weather can do anything. Temperatures might flirt with freezing, or the sun could be shining. In any case, be prepared for all scenarios. The best advice we can give: dress up in layers. Start with a base layer, add a t-shirt, and finish with a (waterproof) rain jacket or vest.
​
Sports nutrition
Going for the longer distance? Extra energy along the way is definitely a must. A gel, energy bar, or sports drink is far from a luxury. And after the finish, a recovery drink can help reduce muscle soreness the next day.
