Race Schematics
We know you’re eager to see what’s ahead! The official race schematics will be released this week. Keep an eye on your inbox!  Once they’re live, you’ll be able to start mapping out your strategy and get a clearer picture of the challenge that awaits.

Mandatory Gear Updates
Please note that we have added some details to the mandatory gear list to answer the clarifying questions we have received. 
 
Paddle section:  
Weight allowance for paddle bags is now 32kg.  Make sure you know the weight limit of the bag you are using and that it can support this limit.
 
Ropes info:  
Lanyards - Arms length or slightly longer(up to 100cm each).  2 independent lanyards or one long lanyard hitched in the middle to ensure they are independent. These are used to attach to a hand line with the ability to safely move over anchors.
 
Pulleys - handle more than 15n to go over a 11mm rope.  
 
Prusik - 6-7mm for backup on a rappel.
 
Carabiners - You need to have 3.  To keep weight and gear down you can use the same one for multiple purposes on route.  (Move the lanyard biner to the prusik for example).
 

Pre-Orders & Rentals
Athlete pre-orders and rentals - please complete asap!
Please ensure your team is fully prepared!
Please let us know… Will you be bringing your own WHITE WATER specific helmet? (not a bike helmet)
We are providing these but can cut down on logistics if we know how many are bringing their own.
