Looking for running kit? We’ve put together selections for different types of running, you’ll find everything you need here for long-distance trail running and ultras.

What is an ultra trail?

An ultra trail is a long-distance running race held outdoors on mountain trails, forest paths or other terrain. It demands physical and mental endurance, as well as specific preparation. Runners need to handle varied terrain, elevation changes, unpredictable weather and many hours of continuous running. Ultra trail races may have aid stations along the route where runners can replenish water, food and other essentials. An ultra trail is often seen as an ultimate test of personal limits, combining a passion for running with the chance to explore striking, sometimes extreme landscapes. Participants set themselves personal challenges, testing their physical and mental limits while connecting with nature and sharing the experience with other runners.

How long is an ultra trail?

An ultra trail starts at 80 km. Exact distances can vary between events and may be affected by the terrain, altitude, weather conditions and local regulations.

Ultra and long-distance trail running: demanding races call for the right kit

When you set out to run long distances on a trail or in an ultra, having the right kit with you is essential.

At CimAlp, we’ve drawn on more than 50 years of expertise in hiking clothing to develop our technical trail clothing. Innovation, technical performance and comfort guide our designs.

To bring you the best, we’ve sought out leading brands for backpacks and head torches, including Silva and Osprey in our range.

What kit do you need for ultras and long-distance trail running?

Most major races will give you a mandatory kit list. Our clothing is approved for some of the most demanding races around Mont Blanc, on the volcanoes of Réunion and in Millau!

Here are our kit tips for long-distance trail running:

Choose a pack of at least 6 L to carry the kit you need
If you’re used to using them, trail poles will help you on the climbs
Choose shoes suited to the terrain and your running gait
Take a head torch with a spare battery or extra batteries to see you through a full night outdoors
Protect yourself from the sun with a cap, a bandana and a pair of photochromic sunglasses

Our clothing tip: as with hiking, plan for a three-layer system:

A comfortable, breathable technical base layer, such as a short- or long-sleeved trail t-shirt, depending on race conditions
A warm second layer: a fleece sweatshirt or a comfortable, stretchy jacket that packs down into your bag
A third layer, a trail jacket windproof, waterproof and breathable, which you can also pack away if race conditions allow
For your lower half, choose stretchy, comfortable shorts, base-layer bottoms or trousers that let you move freely as you run
If needed, consider the waterproof trousers that can make all the difference in heavy rain
Complete your outfit with gloves and a beanie for cooler temperatures, plus a pair of comfortable technical socks

With all that, you’ll be ready to progress in trail running and take on your first ultras. Be sure to test your kit before race day to check that it works and feels comfortable. Note that some races require specific equipment.

How do you choose an ultra trail race that suits your goals and abilities?

Before entering, consider what distance suits your fitness and experience. If you’re new to ultra-trail running, it may be wise to start with a shorter race and gradually work up to longer distances. Consider the total ascent and descent, as well as how technical the terrain is. Some ultra-trail races feature mountainous routes, technical trails or high-altitude sections that may require specific preparation. Check the usual weather conditions in the race area and choose an event that matches your personal goals. Remember to factor in the location, travel, accommodation and associated costs.

If you’re not ready for long distances yet, one option is to plan a kit for trail and off-road running or the road running to build up your experience before moving on to longer distances.
