Tips for Salomon Featherbed Trail Run

1. Footwear. A good pair of trail shoes will make your run more secure underfoot. Salomon and other quality brands have a range. Fit them before buying and run in them at least twice to settle them.

2. Warm clothes. A plastic carrier bag is provided to you on the ferry. Rather be over-dressed and leave your kit in the bag than freeze. Remember, there's no such thing as bad weather, only poor clothing choices.

3. Lighting. You'll need a good headlight to tackle the night run. French brand Petzl is the foremost-developer of adventure, caving and mountaineering lights worldwide and a model like the Tikka2 will do the job perfectly. They also happen to sponsor the night event (shameless punt for sponsor).

4. Fuel up afterwards. The vibe at the Featherbed Restaurant afterwards is great and you get a hearty meal as part of your entry. Little wonder that the event has grown from a single to a two to a three-event in one day affair.
