For the farmyard Jam ultra, your pit is essentially your mobile aid station, recovery room, gear locker, and decision-making center. The goal is to minimize time between laps and solve problems before they become race-ending issues.

Late-race comfort foods

Hydration & Electrolytes
* Water

Clothing
You want complete redundancy.
* Multiple pairs of shoes
* Several pairs of socks

* Warm layers
* Waterproof jacket
* Hat and spare hat

* Buff or neck gaiter

Pit Organization
Use bins labeled:
1. Food
2. Drinks
3. Clothing
4. Foot care
5. Medical
6. Night gear
When you’re exhausted at 3 a.m., organization matters more than you expect.
If You Have a Crew
Have a checklist for every lap:
* Refill bottles?
* Eat something?
* Electrolytes?
* Change socks?
* Weather change?
* Headlamp battery check?
* Any hot spots or chafing?
The Biggest Mistake
Many runners overpack gear and underpack easy-to-eat food. After 12–24 hours, your stomach may reject the sports nutrition that worked in training. Having a wide selection of simple, familiar foods often keeps runners going much longer
