How to use this list
Check off each item the night before your event. Lay out your race schedule, pack your team jersey, and confirm you have your paddle or any equipment required by your team. Some items, like water and snacks, are best packed the morning of the race for freshness. Double-check with your team for any group gear.
Common mistakes
People often forget their life jacket, assuming one will be provided. Not all races supply them, so confirm event rules. Overlooking the wet bag for damp gear leads to soggy messes in your bag. Skipping snacks or enough water can make a long day even tougher. Don’t show up in the wrong clothes—bring a dry change for after the race.
