Here was our list from last year. Didn't bring the DVD player - it did get boring during Sat morning as we sat around waiting to go back on. We never found a GPS. We did buy street maps of all the areas we could get them for and plotted out the course on those and that was really useful. Also, didn't get a list of Walgreens which might have been useful but wasn't necessary. Food is really personal but you need a fair amount. We did stop along the way and buy more but my van also finished a set of lets at breakfast time and so took our stinky selves to a diner which was really nice.

Subject: [MC200Relay] SuppliesI'm putting together a checklist of supplies (from a first aide kit , a
cooler, and runner needs such as sunscreen, advil, etc...) for each of
our 2 vans and was wondering if experienced teams had suggestions of
what to carry and what to pick up along the way? Space is a limitation
so we're trying to consolidate what we can.
Thanks!
