Race Arrival
Try to arrive at least one hour prior to your wave. This will give you time for parking, bag drop, getting information and warm up. Each wave will open 20 minutes before the start of the wave and a group warm up will be done before take-off countdown.
Equipment & Gear
You are allowed to wear any gear you like, however The Grid is not responsible for loss, wear and tear or breakage. We suggest your running kit is not loose, so as to prevent getting caught up in any obstacles. You may wish to use gloves and/or any equipment necessary to help yourself over the obstacles (provided it does not involve cheating).
You are responsible for the gear and equipment which you use during the Event, including their suitability.
