The provisional Equipment list providesfor the Raid Caneo Nature adventure race a little in sight into the disciplines competitors will face It seems that Canyoning will be full on requiring wetsuit. the Rollerblading does allow the use of rollerskates. Most other items are pretty standard.
Care should be taken on the type of helmet that you use, whilst you can use a combination helmet certified for horseriding, mountaineering biking, rollerblading, and canyoning. If you helmet is damaged as a result of a fall you might not be able to continue, So I would suggest taking a mountain bike helmet for biking and rollerblading and a combination helmet for canyoning and horseriding.
