Hey Friends, Family, & Future Racers!
Here is some information about how I packed my bag for the World Race. There is so much information below, so I split it up into sections so that if there is a specific topic that you are interested in, you can hone in on that section of information.
I hope the information helps, but if you remember nothing else, remember to start packing early, test your gear by living out of your tent and bag on the patio for a weekend, and relax… Your team won’t leave you when you are in need.
Good luck on your Race!
