Articles on: Getting ready for the day

What should we bring on the day?

Warm clothes, water, comfortable shoes and a charged phone with mobile data. It's a long, active day and almost all of it is outdoors.


  • Warm, weatherproof clothing. Early March in London can still be cold, and you'll be out in it from morning until evening.
  • A bottle of water for each person.
  • Lunch, or money to buy it. A packed lunch is fine; most groups prefer to bring some money and grab something on the route. There's no set lunch time — teams stop when they choose.
  • A charged phone with mobile data. The Run happens in real time, and your team needs the MR Live app to check in, track your stats, complete challenges and take part in the quiz.
  • Comfortable footwear. The route is flat, but you'll be on your feet for most of the day and the wrong shoes will spoil it.
