Race Equipment - Hydration System
The hydration system is very important for racers in RacingThePlanet Ultramarathons. You must carry containers that can hold 2.5 liters of water at all times. The main choices are: 1. Bottles: These allow for more flexibility – they can be attached to the shoulder straps of your backpack, put in a front pack, kept in the side of the backpack or carried by hand. 2. Hydration bladders: A popular choice, but sometimes difficult to know how much fluid you have remaining and are prone to leak and can be difficult to fill quickly. 3. Soft bottle: Platypus or Salomon, at least 1 liter in capacity. The most popular hydration system is a water bottle with a straw attached to the front of the backpack with a soft bottle as backup.
