7 Section 4: Medical Support We will have a dedicated medical team on the event who will be available on the road, at the lunch stop and at the hotel, with a morning and then an afternoon/evening clinic. There will be emergency medical care available at all times. Personal First Aid No matter how fit you are, the Virgin STRIVE Challenge will hurt at times. Please be prepared. You will be responsible for your own first aid. Use your experience from training to learn where your weaknesses are and predict what problems may arise. Address any possible niggles now before they become injuries on the event. As much as there will be emergency medical care available at all times on the event, the team is not there to provide very basic first aid. Our medical team has collated a list of recommended items you should include in your main packing list for the event in addition to your regular medical prescription(s): Paracetamol Spare set of your usual medication: keep this in a separate place Ibuprofen Fabric plasters (assorted) Vaseline (or similar, for chafing) Compeed (large) Second Skin (alternative to Compeed for saddle sores) Loperamide (Immodium)/ rehydration sachets Antihistamine Alcohol hand gel (for clean hands as well as cleaning small wounds) Important info: keeping yourself hydrated and protected with sunscreen is also going to be important to your success in September the weather will still be hot and sunny. 7

8 Section 5: Nutrition Speak to any physiologist and they will tell you that to be a great endurance athlete you will rely on three main things: fitness, mindset and nutrition. Having the right fuel on the road couldn t be more important - proper nutrition can really benefit your event experience, keeping your energy levels up and fuelling you to the finish line each day. We have partnered with TRIBE (wearetribe.co) - the UK's leading natural sports nutrition brand and athletic community. With their help, we have put together bespoke packs for the STRIVE participants - we recommend you buy some to fuel your training before the challenge, getting to know exactly which your favourite products are and when to use them on the road. Cycling Fuel Pack Hiking Fuel Pack We are providing recovery shakes at the end of every day spent STRIVING, but for everything inbetween, Tribe is offering all Strive participants 50% off any orders from the TRIBE site if you enter 'strivechallenge50'at checkout. 8

9 Section 6: Packing List This is a suggested list of kit to bring with you to ensure that you are comfortable and prepared. Due to the nature of Strive and moving accommodation each night, it is important to be organised with your kit. Please only bring the bare essentials on the challenge. As part of your entry fee, you will be provided with the following kit, which will be given to you on the live event: Hike General T-shirt x 2 Cap x 1 Mid-layer Fleece x1 Beanie x 1 Buff x1 In addition to the above, we therefore recommend bringing the following. Hike Day bag (for carrying hiking essentials) Hiking boots with good tread (well worn-in) GoreTex waterproof jacket & trousers Technical / soft shell mountaineering trousers Warm fleece jacket (lightweight synthetics that would fit in your bag) Base layer Shorts Walking socks Underwear General Casual clothing (including warm items and leggings) Swimwear Flip flops Trainers Sunglasses Sunscreen/ lip protector and insect repellent Ear plugs Thermal hat & gloves Walking poles x 2 (essential) Toiletries Personal medication/ mini first aid kit 9

10 Sleeping bag (-5 degree C tolerance) Quick Dry travel towel Rucksack rain cover 2 litre platypus / camelback (essential) Head torch Mobile phone and charger European plug adapters Penknife Cash (Euros) Antibacterial hand sanitiser Zip lock bags Water bottle x 1 Toilet paper / tissues Personal snacks (favourite cereal bar!) We appreciate that STRIVERS will have other commitments alongside the daily challenge but ask you (where possible) to keep techie provision down to phones and tablets only, and avoid bringing laptops. 10

11 Section 7: Insurance It is your responsibility to have taken out insurance cover suitable for your participation in the event, which protects yourself and your personal belongings. For the vast majority of the course, you should be covered by your usual travel insurance policy, but we would strongly recommend you call them up and alert them to what you are doing. Stage Hike Requirements - Comprehensive adventure travel insurance that covers hiking on trails up to 3,500m in France - This must include: o Repatriation costs o Air ambulance and helicopter rescue services - Please ensure your insurer is aware of your travel itinerary and agrees to cover your activities 11

12 Section 8: Fundraising & your responsibilities Fundraising As a Stage 4 participant you have a fundraising target of 3,000. Big Change will send you plenty of content, information and tips on how to maximise your fundraising. It is important to start your campaign as early as possible if you are to smash your target! Please get in touch with the Participant Managers if you have any questions. Your responsibilities We are looking forward to looking after you during the challenge and would really like your support with the following; Attend the daily briefing held before dinner each evening Be ready at the start line each morning on time Take the correct kit with you on the route so as not to be caught out by weather or punctures Take care of your belongings during the event Look after your litter keep it with you or put it in a bin Make sure your water bottles / camelbacks are cleaned each day, and filled ready for each morning s start Be honest with yourself if you can t complete it and flag your condition to the team. There is no shame in pulling out or having a day off, we will look after you 12
