Ultra-Trail Harricana Gear Guide: Edition & Kit Checks
For Ultra-Trail Harricana, keep the edition check at the top of your equipment plan. The next event weekend is announced, but the linked rules and equipment page contain older revision labels. Confirm the requirements for your actual entry before choosing a vest around a copied list.
LECAMO Independent Race Gear Guides. Official sources checked October 1, 2026. Independent editorial guidance; use the organizer’s complete current instructions for your entry.
Edition and route to confirm
The official homepage announces September 10-12, 2027, in Québec’s Charlevoix region. On October 1, 2026, the rules page labels its download “RULES AND CONDITIONS 2027,” while the opened PDF carries revision 20250828. The separate mandatory-equipment page displays a last-update date of August 1, 2024 and some legacy distance headings.
Organizer information that changes the load
The linked regulations describe self-sufficiency between aid stations and require the appropriate gear to remain with the runner. They send readers to a separate equipment page for the item list. Because the edition and distance headings need confirmation, this guide does not present those old headings as a final 2027 mandatory table or grant specific crew and drop-bag permissions from them.
Build the section-by-section packing plan
The organizer facts and LECAMO’s suggested packing actions are separated below. Suggested actions help you prepare; they do not add new race requirements.
| Decision | Organizer information | Suggested packing action |
|---|---|---|
| Race entry | Current announced 2027 weekend | Save the exact registered distance and current participant instructions |
| Equipment list | Linked page shows an older update label | Ask the organizer to confirm the applicable list |
| Remote section | Rules describe self-sufficiency between aid stations | Carry what your confirmed interval and requirements demand |
| Bags and support | Permissions are distance-specific in the linked rules | Confirm current locations before placing supplies there |
Prepare the handoff or refill before race day
Make one confirmation sheet with three questions: which item list applies to my distance, where can my support person meet me, and where will my allowed bag be delivered? Attach the organizer’s answer or final guide rather than an image saved from a previous edition. This keeps the packing plan useful when distance names or support arrangements change.
Test the vest with this race’s complete load
Once the current list is confirmed, assemble every required item and the longest planned section’s food and water. Test retrieval of the protected layer, phone and any required light without spreading the whole load on the trail. A gear inspection is easier when you know where each item sits. Keep current instructions available while packing instead of relying on a remembered list.
ROOT5 is listed with 5L storage and two included 500ml soft flasks, giving one litre of container capacity. That describes the product configuration; it does not establish that the full race kit fits or that the carried water is sufficient. Compare your complete list with the current ROOT5 listing, then run with the filled load before choosing it for this entry.
Common preparation questions
Does the “2027” download label settle every equipment detail?
The opened PDF has an earlier revision code and the separate gear page has an older update label. Confirm the applicable current list for your entry.
Can I copy another Canadian ultra’s kit?
Use Harricana’s own confirmed distance requirements and aid information. Another event can have different item and support rules.
