Course

The Race course is made of a 785 m flat certified, asphalt lap.

Counting

Each lap is counted by a race marshal. Each race day starts at 8:00 am. Before the start, please arrange with your counter if you would like to be told your laps or kilometers. Counters change every six hours.
Additionally, we have a Race camera as a backup scoring system.
If you feel that the number of your laps on any day of the race is not correct, please inform the race director on duty and we will do a double-check on the race camera. Race number must be worn visible in front for the counters all the time.

Rules

Please inform your counter whenever you are taking a break or leaving the race course for other reasons.
If you are going to the hotel, you can start a lap on the way – exit the course at the designated area – go to your room – and when you come back – enter the course again at the designated area and thus complete the lap. This way your “hotel lap” will be counted. See the image:

Cutting the course at any point will result in immediate disqualification!

Minimum daily distance is 27 miles or 43,44 km.

Bringing and consuming alcohol to the camp or the course is not permitted. Smoking and using narcotics of any kind are not permitted.
