There will be marshals, sweepers and checkpoints.
Stick to the routes and avoid shortcuts.
If you wish to discontinue running wait for the sweepers or contact the emergency crew and someone will either redirect you or come and fetch you.
Never go off route!

WATER STATIONS
Runners must be self-sufficient for the day and cannot reply on the water points only.
However, there will be points where you can refill your water bottles if needed.

CHECKPOINTS
There are various checkpoints.
You have to check in at each checkpoint and you will be eliminated from the race should you skip a checkpoint.
Scanning in at the checkpoints is your responsibility.

CUT OFF TIMES
There is no official cut-off time for the 21 km.
However, should the sweepers who have the final call, calculate that you will finish in the dark they might redirect you back to the Race Village.
The safety of our runners is always our priority.

MEDICAL
There will be emergency services on standby but participants must be fit, healthy and under normal circumstances, be able to complete the event safely without aid.
Should the race medic declare any participant unfit to continue, he or she must withdraw from the event.
Helicopter evacuation, any hospitalization transport or hospitalization will be at the participant’s own cost.
EACH PARTICIPANT MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SAFETY.

ROUTE OVERVIEW
Distance: 21.13 km
Elevation: 1,145 m
The estimated time running at an average pace of 14 minutes per kilometre will be about 5 hours.
