  • Race bib exchange is not allowed, participation under a false identity is strictly prohibited and hazardous.
  • All participants are required to run wearing a shirt or undershirt (doesn’t have to be the race’s shirt), and the race’s bib number with timing chip received at race kit pickup, prior to the race.
  • Race officials – referees, marshals, organizers, management and rescue vehicles, army and police – must be obeyed at all times. Participants who fail to adhere to this rule will be disqualified.
  • The organizers reserve the right to deny a participant the right to continue the race if for any reason the race team concluded that the participant’s safety and/or health are at risk.

  • Good sports behavior should be maintained throughout the competition and in life in general.

Examples of unsportsmanlike behavior: violent bypassing, cursing, pushing, endangering others.
