The right equipment for le Bélier Trail by Ekosport
The outfit that makes all the difference
Choosing the right outfit lays the foundations for a successful trail run. Whatever the distance, it's essential to run in clothing designed for the effort, the terrain and the weather. Tops should be breathable, lightweight and comfortable. A technical t-shirt wicks away perspiration and limits chafing, which becomes essential as the kilometers go by. Depending on the temperature, you can add a second layer: a long-sleeved jersey or a lightweight windproof jacket that can be easily compressed and slipped into your pack.
The choice of bottoms depends on distance and personal preference. Trail shorts with good support are ideal for short distances. On longer runs or in cooler conditions, shorts or leggings may be more comfortable. As mountain weather can be changeable, it's a good idea to bring rain protection with you, even for intermediate sizes.
Accessories that change everything
Trail riding accessories are more than just add-ons. They can be decisive for comfort, performance and even safety. From 15 km formats upwards, a trail bag or vest becomes indispensable. It provides hydration, food and protection. It's best to choose one that fits snugly, has accessible storage and doesn't bounce around.
Hydration is a strategic point: soft flasks on the front or water pouches on the back, there's a system for everyone, as long as it allows you to drink regularly.
Depending on the weather, other accessories can be added. A cap or choker protects you from the sun, wind and early morning chill. Sports goggles are recommended for high altitude or brightly lit passages. For long distances and uneven terrain, trail poles take the load off the legs on uphill runs and provide support on downhill.
On the big day, every detail counts: well-thought-out equipment, tested in advance and adapted to your needs, makes all the difference between a race you've had to endure... and a successful one.
Finally, whatever your choice, make sure you stay hydrated and eat regularly throughout your run.
