H1 by Mount to Coast — This is my go-to shoe for anything offroad. It feels like a normal road shoe on asphalt, but then gives me plenty of grip on 99% of trails. This was my shoe of choice for the Cocodona 250 and the Ultra Gobi 400K. It feels light and responsive and performs spectacularly. Highly recommend.
ADV SKIN 12 by Salomon — Solomon owns the pack game. Plenty of room in this guy for multiday races, but also perfect for a Sunday long run outing. Integrates perfectly with their quiver as well to store your poles.
ULTRATRAIL FX.ONE by Leki — While not their lightest pole, these carbon fiber beasts offer the perfect balance between weight and durability. I used these for every step of the Cocodona 250 and they held up great.
Run Lightweight Crew by Injinji
Crew Drop One by SILO — Perfect bag for all your adventures. Lots of pockets to organize things like nutrition, lighting, and so much more. The internal shoe compartment keeps the nasty shoes separate from all the stuff you don't want covered in funk. Can be used as a crew bag, a drop bag, or a simple overnight bag for a trip. High quality construction - highly recommend.
Lumen 850 Duo Waist Light by UltrAspire — You may think "I'm fine with my headlamp, I don't need a waist lamp" but you are wrong. You don't know know what you don't know son. The waist lamp combined with a headlamp really changes the game. You can the rocks and the trail with so much more clarity. Get this waist lamp - you won't be disappointed I promise.
M's 5" Multi Short by Janji — I wore these shorts for the Ultra Gobi 400K and they were perfect. The built in belt held all my nutrition and for the first time ever I had zero chafing during that 64 hour effort.
Carbs Fuel Original 1,000g Sport Drink Mix by Carbs Fuel — Perfect fuel for long efforts. Neutral taste that doesn't lead to flavor fatigue. Also one of the most competitively priced fuel options on the market. Carbs liquid mix is my go to.
M's Trekker Snappy Shirt by Janji — Breathable, stylish, and light. I love racing/running in this collared shirt. It takes the swag up a notch and also performs great. People underestimate how much that collar helps with sun protection too.
Lumen 800 Catalyst Headlamp by UltrAspire — Turns out it really helps you run faster at night when you can actually see. This headlamp is my go-to. With three brightness settings and a long battery life, I pair this with the waist lamp for maximum illumination.
Vertix 2S by COROS — It takes a little while to run 250 miles, even when you intend to set a course record. The Coros Vertix has an insane battery life that easily lasts the entirety of the race. With stellar navigation and turn by turn alerts, the race would be completely different without my Coros.
Vanilla Classic Energy Waffle Box of 16 by Honey Stinger — Cocodona is basically an eating competition with some running involved. These races are amazing excuses to eat whatever you want with no guilt. The vanilla Honey Stinger waffles are my absolute favorite. They go down easy and don't make me gag like a gel.
Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix by Skratch Labs — Sugar, Sugar, and more SUGAR! That's how you finish 200 mile races. The name says it all - Super high carb is the best drink mix on the market. It goes down easy, isnt gritty, and in general, makes me feel like a superhero.
