大會原意是希望參加者利用大會提供的竹籃及肩帶揹水，以感受山區居民揹水的辛酸。所以參加者必須使用大會提供的竹籃及肩帶（不得使用非大會提供的其他容器、背囊或肩帶）揹水。大會只接受參加者用循環再用及可卸除的物料於大會提供的肩帶上包上軟墊以增加舒適度；或在竹籃內加有固定水樽位置的物品，其餘一律不可接受，如有發現將會被取消資格。在歸還竹籃及肩帶前必須自行清理及移除一切附加的物料。 The idea of Race for Water is to ask participants to use the bamboo basket and shoulder strap provided by the organizer to experience the hardship of peasants who carry water from faraway water sources. Therefore, participants must use the basket and shoulder straps provided by the organizer (but not other carrier, backpack or straps) to carry the water. The organizer will only accept participants to put reusable and removable materials to wrap around the straps to provide comfort of put into the basket to fix the position of the bottled water. Other assistance materials will not be allowed. Violators will be disqualified. All add-on materials must be removed before returning the basket and straps to the organizer.

各種形式之協助只限於同組隊員之間。參加者必須自行揹負竹籃及水，如有非隊員在賽事進行期間替任何參加者揹竹籃或水，該參加者／隊伍將被取消參賽資格。 All forms of assistance are limited to the participants within the same team. Participants must carry the basket and bottled water on their own. If a non-team member is found carrying the basket and/or bottled water for any participant during the event, the participant and team will be disqualified.
