Race Equipment - Blister Kit
RacingThePlanet Ultramarathons mandate that each racer carry a specialised blister kit. The following list is a minimum requirement. You may need more supplies based on your experience and prior history of foot blisters: 10 x alcohol wipes / 2 x hypodermic needles or safety pins / 1 x roll of paper tape (i.e. Micropore) / 1 x roll of elastic tape (i.e. Elastikon) / 5 x 2nd Skin or Compeed pads.
Note 1: Lubricant such as Bodyglide, Pjur Active or 2Toms BlisterShield Powder is also highly recommended. Foot powder is recommended for feet that sweat a lot.
Note 2: You should try to anticipate the amount of supplies you will need for 7 days. If you do not bring enough supplies, you could be at risk of developing more severe blisters that could jeopardize your ability to finish the race. RacingThePlanet has created a specialised blister kit to make it easy to fulfil this requirement.
