TALKING TRAIL: WHAT TO WEAR, WHAT TO PACK

1st March, 2023 | 5 min. read By Brooks Staff

Down Arrow
Down Arrow

A Brooks expert who regularly runs in the mountains chats about the best
clothing and gear for the trail. 



Brooks senior running experience specialist JP Harris picked up running to stay
in shape. After his first trail race, a 11 km through a state park in Missouri,
he was hooked. 



“I love where trails can take you. Epic views and amazing scenery make it a
unique running experience. Dodging rocks and roots along a run cause me to be so
much more present and in the moment. I love the challenge of trail running,” he
says. 



As a trail gear expert for Brooks, JP loves hearing about the joy and happiness
the run brings to people. He’s passionate about helping individuals discover the
sport and gets excited about being a part of someone’s journey to find health
and happiness.



We chatted with JP about what he packs for short and long trail runs, what you
should always carry with you, and his gear advice for new trail runners. 


BROOKS: WHAT DO YOU PACK FOR SHORT TRAIL RUNS? 

JP: A short trail run for me is anywhere from 3-11 miles. Generally, on a
shorter trail run I won’t bring a vest. I’ll carry a handheld water bottle or
two and store enough food or gels in my pockets. I always have my phone with me,
and I run with a GPS watch to keep track of the time and distance.




BROOKS: WHAT DO YOU PACK FOR LONG TRAIL RUNS?

JP: Anything over 11-14 miles I’d consider a long trail run. Besides having the
proper amount of clothing for the weather, when I am out for a long run on the
trail, I will usually wear a vest with two bottles of water and sometimes an
extra one depending on how far I’m going or how hot it is. I make sure to bring
enough food for the hours I am going to be out on the trail, generally 250
calories an hour. I also like to bring a miniature first aid kit, a safety
blanket, and a small multi-tool.




BROOKS: ARE THERE ESSENTIALS WE SHOULD CONSIDER? WHAT ARE FIVE THINGS WE
*ABSOLUTELY* NEED ON A TRAIL RUN?

JP: Absolutely. Here is the list of essentials:

 1. Enough water
 2. Proper amount of food
 3. First aid 
 4. Proper clothing for heat, rain or cold weather. Be prepared.
 5. Head lamp, depending on time of day and how far you’re going. 
 6. Phone/GPS device


BROOKS: HOW ABOUT EXTRAS? WHAT ARE A FEW THINGS THAT ARE NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT
TOTALLY ESSENTIAL?

JP: Some things nice to have but not essential would be a noise
maker/whistle/bear horn depending on where you are running. A multi-tool, some
fresh TP, and a Ziploc bag in case you need to use the TP. Remember to leave no
trace.




BROOKS: WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR NEW TRAIL RUNNERS IN TERMS OF GEAR, SUPPLIES
AND PACKING FOR TRAIL RUNS?

JP: Safety is most important. Always tell someone what trail you are heading out
on and when you plan to be back. 

I would recommend that new trail runners pack more than what you think you will
use. As you become more comfortable with going longer and farther on trails,
you’ll learn what you can and can’t do without. Then you’ll really be able to
dial in your gear and supplies.

When wearing a running vest, I like to put my supplies in a larger Ziploc bag to
keep it dry from either rain or sweat.

Make sure you have a clean pair of clothes and a nice cold drink waiting for you
when you get back to the trailhead.

I would prioritise shoes, clothing, and a good pack (in that order) above any
other piece of trail running gear. None of the rest of it matters unless your
feet feel good, and you feel comfortable.

You can always treat your car like an aid station. If you need to get some miles
in or some extra vert but don’t feel comfortable running too far on a trail,
choose to do some out and backs. Or pick a trailhead with multiple trails and
keep a stash of aid station goodies and extra water in your car.
