Essential Trail Running Gear for Beginner Ultra Runners

Getting into the wild and weird world of trail running requires a few gear essentials. This is what I bring with me on most of my trail runs - especially if I’m trail running in Colorado or the surrounding mountains. A few things may ebb and flow depending on my mileage but the trail running gear essentials remain a constant.
