The same sheet, on screen. Tick, type, add or remove rows, then print it or download the completed version as a PDF. Everything stays in your browser — your entries are kept in this browser's own storage on this device, nothing is uploaded, and there is no account.
Who this is for
Everything in the bag before you leave. Work through the list the night before and again in the morning, so the number, the chip, the right shoes and the food for afterwards all make it to the start.
Anyone entering a run, ride, swim, triathlon or other event, whether it is a first local race or one of many in a season, and anyone who has turned up without a safety pin before.
What this helps you track
- The entry essentials: number, chip, ID and confirmation
- What you will wear on the start line and what goes in the spare bag
- Food and drinks for before, during and after
- Warm and dry things for once you have finished
- Travel, parking and bag drop arrangements in one place
How to use it
- Write the event, the date, the start time, how you are getting there and the bag drop details.
- The night before, lay everything out and tick each item as it goes into the bag.
- Cross out anything that does not apply to your sport and add your own items on the blank lines.
- In the morning, run down the essentials again before you leave the house.
- Keep the browser version on your phone for next time; it saves in your own browser.
Formats
- Printable PDF (A4 and US Letter)
- Fillable PDF with form fields
- Fill in online, saved in your browser
The printable is laid out inside a box that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the two files are identical and neither one is scaled. The fillable PDF has real form fields. The online version keeps what you enter in your own browser and builds the completed PDF on your device.
How to print
Download the A4 or US Letter file to match the paper in your printer, open it in a PDF reader and print at 100% — not "fit to page", which shrinks the writing space. Both files leave a 14 mm margin, which clears the unprintable edge on home printers. To print the online version with your entries in it, use the Print this sheet button, which prints only the sheet and none of the page around it. More on printing.
Questions
Does the list cover swims and rides as well as runs?
It is written to work for any of them, so some items will not apply to you. Strike out what you do not need and use the blank lines for sport-specific kit, such as a wetsuit, a helmet or a spare inner tube.
Why tick things twice?
Packing the night before catches missing items while there is still time to find them. A quick second look in the morning catches the things taken back out, such as a phone on charge or a bottle in the fridge.
Can I save my own version of the list?
Yes. In the browser version you can add your own items to each section, and it saves in your own browser, so the list is ready for the next event.
Does it tell me what to eat or drink on the day?
No. The nutrition section is a packing list for whatever you have chosen to take. What and how much is your decision, based on what has worked for you in training.
