Race Rules

1. General rules

1.1. The route of the run will be secured by the police, civil guards and the organisers.

Crossing at junctions of roads of equal importance, at junctions marked by traffic signs and at junctions controlled by traffic lights will be secured by the police and by civil guards. Runners must always comply with the instructions of the police, the civil guards and the organisers.

The route of the race will not be fully closed to traffic, therefore each runner must keep to the designated route at all times.

At junctions and pedestrian crossings traffic will be stopped while runners pass through. Cones will be placed out on pavements and bicycle paths to assist the runners to proceed.

The lead vehicle will drive ahead of the front runners. The route will be secured between the lead vehicle in the front and the sweep vehicle at the rear.

1.2. Participants must wear their assigned race numbers on the front of their shirt/vest/top. It is forbidden to reduce the size of the race number, to bend, twist or fold it, to cover parts of it, or to place additional text or logos on it. When securing your race numbers in place, make sure that the timing chip attached to its backside is not damaged by the safety pin.

All participants in the individual race must be born before 12^th May 2011 (thirteen years or older) while in the relay race before 12^th May 2016 (eight years or older).

For the safety of the runners the use of earphones is allowed in one ear only.

1.3. Refreshment points

1.4. Medical assistance will be provided by ambulance and medical staff at the start and the finish and by mobile medical personnel on motorcycles throughout the course.

1.5. During the race we will use chip (net) timing. In the case of solo runners the timing chip is attached to the back of the race number, while in the case of relay runners it is located inside the baton. Timing chips must be handled with care to avoid damage. The relay batons can be collected together with the race numbers and the T-shirts. The last runners of the relay teams must hand in the relay batons to the race marshals after crossing the finishing line.
