All kayaks, lifejackets and paddling equipment on event day is supplied and paid for by the event organizers and Deep Cove Canoe and Kayak.
While there will be numerous checkpoints and first aid stations throughout the course, there is no substitute for preparation. This is the wilderness and your safety is paramount.
In addition to the above safety gear, it is highly recommended that you eat at every transition, so have food with you at the transition area. You may also wish to carry gels, power bars, etc. on you during each leg of the event. There will be water at the transition to refill your hydro paks.
Organization of your gear is very important and you will be able to lay it out in the transition area for efficient transfer
