Mandatory Equipment

Mandatory Kit

Top 3 VJM Runners will have mandatory kit inspections. 
Other kit inspections are carried out at random.
Lack of mandatory kit will result in disqualification. 

RACE BIBS

You must race with your own race bib.  If you run with another person’s bib and you have not formally transferred that bib with the organiser, you will be disqualified.
