A 40# sandbag can function as half the gear you need for a basic fitness program at home.
I've done races from 3hrs to 72hrs and here's my simple advice:
I've seen these recommended a lot. I use my cross trainers, but will probably be picking up a pair or trail runners in a couple of weeks.
Tough Mudder vet here my recommendation from me personally and others I have ran with is to use mad grips gloves if you dont believe me just check the reviews. For the shorts or any thing else you are wearing I recommend nothing with cotton and something that will dry very fast if not you will stay very cold after the water obstacles. Also do wear anything your not prepared to lose.
I think it really depends on the gloves.
Most of the gloves I see people wearing are wrestling gloves, carpentry gloves, etc. I even saw some soccer goalie gloves on the course today. And most of these gloves look like they'd immediately become more trouble than they're worth.
I'm no expert, but I think these MadGrip gloves are excellent. Cheap, sheds water really quickly through the mesh, and not hot or bulky enough to require taking them off between obstacles. I've worn them in 5-6 races. The grip tread does start wearing off after a few races but hey, they're cheap.

Do you need gloves? Not really. But with gloves I'm a lot more likely to blindly put my hands into muddy streams, crawl faster over gravel, etc.
