Hydrate before you arrive

Book morning sessions in summer
Morning slots are cooler and less dusty than midday in summer months, improving comfort and visibility.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Grippy shoes protect feet from hot sand and provide traction on quads and dune slopes.
Sunglasses with strap
Protects eyes from glare and sand; strap prevents loss during high-speed runs.
summer
Light long-sleeve shirt
Shields skin from sun and provides a light barrier against wind-blown sand.
spring
Small water bottle (500–750 ml)
Keeps you hydrated between provided water stops—essential in desert heat.
