The following list has been established to insure the competitors’ safety, taking into account the environmental conditions specific to Corsica and Corsica Raid.

The terrain, profile and vegetation are excessively diversified, the weather conditions are particular (dramatic changes can occur between sea level to the high mountains), there are sections during the day and night all with multiple activities planned; this is the intrinsic profile of every race section. All these points have been considered whilst determining the list of compulsory equipment.

This list is to insure minimal safety and which the equipment below is indispensable.

This list has been validated by a qualified technical team concerned for the safety of Corsica Raid Aventure’s competitors.
Each team can organise its own equipment list. But the team must have the compulsory equipment imposed by the organization and can have additional equipment, according to their own needs in terms of race management and comfort.

All equipment must have correct norms (standard CE or equivalent) and be in good working order.

This list of material could undergo modifications in the next few weeks.
