No mandatory kit list is published on this listing. On a spring trail in this region, most runners carry a cup or soft flask, a light waterproof layer and a phone. Always confirm the required kit on traildessalamandres.fr before the race.
The courses loop through the countryside around Sorbiers, so supporters can usually watch the start and finish in the village and catch runners at a couple of points on the shorter loops. The organiser's website will confirm the route so you can plan viewing spots.
Trail races in the Loire are normally marked with tape and arrows, and marshals are placed at key junctions. The organiser publishes marking and safety details on the event website, so check there if you are unsure about navigating the longer course.
The organiser decides whether the event goes ahead or the route changes. Updates are posted on traildessalamandres.fr and on the event's Facebook page, so check both in the days before the race.
