✅ Ragnar Trail Florida Packing List
Running Essentials
- 2 pairs of running shoes (trail-friendly — in case one pair gets soaked)
- 6–8 pairs of socks (your future self will thank you)
- Running shorts/tights (bring extras)
- Tech shirts/tanks (not cotton unless you enjoy marinating in sweat)
- Light jacket/long sleeves (it gets chilly at night)
- Hat/visor or festive Grinch headgear
- Anti-chafe cream / Body Glide (critical!)
- Sunglasses
Night Running Gear (Required)
- Headlamp (plus spare batteries)
- Backup handheld light (trust us)
- Reflective vest or belt
Camping / Sleeping Gear
- Tent (team usually coordinates, but don’t assume)
- Sleeping bag or blanket
- Sleeping pad or air mattress (plus pump if inflatable)
- Earplugs + eye mask (noise + daylight = no sleep otherwise)
- Camp chair (you’ll spend more time sitting than running)
Personal Care / Survival
- Toilet paper (porta-potties run out)
- Baby wipes / body wipes (your “shower”)
- Toothbrush / toothpaste
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray
- Electrolyte packets (Liquid IV, Nuun, etc.)
- Ibuprofen / Tylenol / personal meds
Food & Drink
- Snacks you actually like (bars, fruit, PB&J, trail mix)
- Refillable water bottle or hydration pack
- Coffee setup (camp stove, cold brew, or caffeine pills — whatever keeps you alive)
- Optional but inevitable: “sports recovery beverages” (aka beer, seltzers, boxed wine…)
- Cooler with ice
Team / Miscellaneous
- Festive Grinch gear (hats, onesies, ornaments, whatever screams “holiday chaos”)
- Green Stuff! Grinch Stuff!
- Power bank/chargers (your phone WILL die)
- Trash bags (keep camp tidy)
- Towels (for sweat, dirt, or unexpected Florida rain)
- Cowbells, whistles, or anything loud to annoy neighboring teams
- Camera/GoPro (for blackmail and finish-line glory shots)
Captain’s Wisdom
- Don’t overpack, but don’t underpack.
- Double the socks. Triple the snacks.
- If you’re unsure whether to bring it… bring it.
- If you aren’t flying they it’s easier to pack into a large plastic tote than a bag. Make it easy.
