Garmin Enduro 3

For 24hrs of OCR, I needed a watch with enough battery life to last….research showed me this was the best option.

INOV8 MUDTALON V2

Over 24 hours of OCR need excellent running shoes, and probably need a couple of pairs, so the the depth of the soles for cushioning and lugs for grabbing the mud made these jump out.

NIKE Men’s Journey Running Shoe

I'm very conscious of knee injurys when running, so for road running, you need a lot of cushioning, and these are excellent running shoes. The fact they were orange was also a factor in my decision to buy.

Karrimor Running Shorts

A side effect from losing weight is a little bit of excess skin. To avoid chaffing the compression shorts work well, and I've never suffered from chaffing when using them.

SouStar Wrist Supports

One of my biggest concerns for my first OCR was losing my watch on one the obstacle. I use these straps to protect my watch, not to support my wrist.

Sleeveless Tank Top

The first running shirt I purchased. Good shirt, does the job, but have moved to my own branded shirts now, but this is still in my kit bag.

ASICS Gel-Sonoma

A bit of research (with AI) and these were recommended as an decent affordable trail shoe. Incredibly comfy and drain well. Highly recommended
