Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko has introduced this item to their Mandatory Gear list as of 2026.

https://kosciuszko.utmb.world/runners/mandatory-gear

Description from UTK website:

"There are multiple sections across all courses where athletes will be running across metal grated walkways. It is mandatory for Kosci100 and KosciMiler runners to wear gloves with reinforced/padded palms (such as mountain bike or tradesman gloves) to protect your hands should a fall occur on these sections of course. These types of gloves can be purchased from your local cycling, hardware, or gardening store. Your full-fingered light weight thermal gloves do not meet the requirement for this mandatory gear item.

Note it is also highly recommended that Kosci50 and Kosci30 runners also carry these type of gloves."

Features of these gloves:

• Made with ultra-thin and breathable flexible polyester liner.
• Polyurethane coated non-slip on the palm and fingers for extra protection and better grip.
• Seamless 13 gauge Polyester Shell to provide protection while being as thin and flexible as possible.
• Knitted wrist to prevent debris and dust from entering glove.
