MANDATORY GEAR

All Runners must bring their mandatory gear to the bib collection to have it checked.

The Wonderland Run terrain, despite the beautiful landscapes, is legitimate wilderness. Therefore, you will be required to carry mandatory items and these will be defined as your minimum items.

SingleTrack Events will add to this any further items if the weather anticipated demands it so to manage most effectively your safety and that of our crew.

QUALIFICATION STANDARDS

There are no minimum qualification standards for any of the race distances. However, runners in the 50k and 30k are highly recommended to have ran a trail race in the past and be well trained and prepared for technical rocky terrain.

Weather/Trail Conditions:

  • The run takes place in an exposed environment that can be subject to sudden and severe changes in weather.

  • Rain, fog, high winds, sleet and snow as well as hot sunny days can occur during late August. Do not take this run lightly.

  • Hypothermia, dehydration and heat exhaustion are serious risks and all runners should be prepared for any weather conditions.

  • The courses all take place on rocky, uneven, technical trails that will challenge all levels of runners.
