Regulations

Each competitor is competing exclusively at their own responsibility, whereby they are obliged to take into account the inherent risk to trail running, including their own personal physical and mental abilities, considering the demands and the length of the trail. Before registering for the race, competitors should test their realistic abilities of semi-autonomy on long distance trail runs in conditions similar to those on the actual race (mountain trails), as well as their preparedness to independently solve problems, which can occur in these types of activities, particularly the challenges of the climatic conditions (altitude, night, fog, wind, rain…), remaining confident that they are able to overcome the problems that are brought about by fatigue, minor digestive disorders and upset stomachs, as well as the physical and mental strain of the trail, independently. Competitors should be totally aware that the role of the organiser is not solving said problems and that safety during the competition is completely dependent on the individual competitor’s ability to adapt to the prevailing circumstances.
