High Lonesome 100 Gear - Isabella Poulos

All the gear I used at the 2026 High Lonesome 100

Products in this list

Lumen 850 Duo Waist Light by UltrAspire — I have the worst night vision, but I also love running through the night. I borrowed one of these lights when I ran my first 100 and it made all the difference. Wide and bright beam that hits closer to the ground making it so much easier to run through the night. Batteries are rechargeable and easy to replace while you're moving.
Endurance Fuel: Blueberry Lemonade Limited Edition - 6 Pack by Tailwind Nutrition — Yum! Such a good summer flavor. I drank this the entire race. Easy to get down on a bad stomach and always tastes good.
Zygos 6.0 Race Vest by UltrAspire — Hilo has a hefty gear list (all necessary for high alpine races like this) which meant I needed a pack with space for everything. Super comfy, easy to access pockets all over. I love that this pack doesn't move at all when I'm running, and the tightening system is really easy to adjust to mid race when the body starts to feel a little sore all over.
Cascadia Elite by Brooks — I have a bad habit of getting new gear race week and hoping for the best. Finally got my hands on a pair of these 5 days before the race and immediately knew they would be perfect. Comfy and secure, such great grip, sock liner so no chance of rocks getting in. Wore them for the first 70 miles and my feet were happy!
Women's Cloudultra Pro Ivory | Celeste by On — My all time favorite shoes for when I want to feel SPEEDY. Put them on at mile 70, pure comfort and bounce when I needed it the most.
ULTRATRAIL FX.ONE SUPERLITE by Leki — I am a pole gal, I just love using them in races. Super lightweight but sturdy! I've used the same pair for training, 2 100 mile mountain races, a few 50's, and have never feared they'd break.
UltrAspire Pole Quiver by UltrAspire — If you're gonna use poles get yourself a good pole quiver!
W's 7" Pace Short by Janji — Shorts with pockets that never ride up!
W's Sunchaser 50 Hooded Long Sleeve by Janji — Sunshirt cause the mountains are high and the sun is hot!
Women's Trail Run Floral Party Print Crew Socks by Smartwool — Merino wool is the best option for running socks. You can get your feet wet and count on them drying out and keeping your feet comfy and blister free.
Gel 100 by Maurten — Pretty obsessed with Maurten gels right now. They sort of taste like marshmallows to me, and I like the gel texture more than I thought I ever could. Not too sweet which helps with pallet fatigue.
