If you are planning to take part in an FRA-registered race you should plan to arrive at the start with (as a minimum) waterproof full body cover (with taped seams & integrated attached hood), hat, gloves, map of the route, compass, whistle & emergency food, with a bumbag/pack to carry them in. These may not all be compulsory for every race (although they are considered best practice), but you won't know this until you arrive at the start.
Race organisers are obliged to carry out random kit checks before the race & can refuse to allow runners to participate if they do not have the required kit.

Please check the FRA website for details of each race you plan to run & contact the organiser if you need any further information.
