BIBS

Each bib is issued individually to each competitor upon presentation of photo ID. The delivery of the bib will take place on Friday 02/06/2023 from 15:00 to 21:00 and will resume on Saturday 03/06/2023 at 05:30 with closing at 06:30.

The bib must be fully visible throughout the race.

 

SECURITY AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

Along the way there will be several rescue workers located mostly near the most dangerous points. The various points are connected via radio or telephone with the coordinator of the race. Civil Protection, Alpine Rescue and Medical Assistance will be present on the route. The aid points are intended to give assistance to all people in real danger using the organization's own or conventional means. Any runner who finds himself in need can call for help:

• Presenting yourself at an aid point

• By calling the course coordinator directly

• Asking another runner for help to call for help

• The various assistance points will be indicated in the Road-book. The intervention of vehicles and people outside these points necessarily involves movement from the garrisons and temporary changes in the security arrangements.

 

The request for assistance must be justly motivated by concrete danger. Otherwise, or in cases where it is possible to reach the garrison independently, it is necessary to continue up to that point. The rescuers and official doctors are in particular authorized to stop the race (by deactivating the bib number) of any runner they deem unfit to continue the race and to evacuate the runners they deem in danger by any means deemed suitable. In case of need, for reasons that are in the interest of the rescued person, the Alpine Rescue will be called upon, which will take over the direction of operations and will put in place all the appropriate means, including the helicopter. The costs deriving from the use of these exceptional means will be borne by the rescued person. It will be the runner's responsibility to prepare and submit to his personal insurance the file necessary for any reimbursement. If it is impossible to contact the route coordinator, it is possible to call the emergency services directly (especially if you are in an area without telephone coverage). Tel. 118 for all of Italy.

 

CHECK POST AND REFUEL POINTS

There will be 6 supply points along the way. Are expected:

• "Mandatory equipment" check before departure (for everyone)

• Checking "mandatory material" at least in one point along the route (for everyone)

 

dand the "surprise" checkpoints can be positioned at the refreshment points or in other places outside the aid and refreshment points. Their location will not be communicated by the organization. In this case the riders will have to stop for the time necessary for the check before continuing. Only runners wearing a clearly visible bib will have access to the refreshment points. In addition to the organization's controls, it should be emphasized that the organization is AUTHORIZED TO STOP those it deems unsuitable to continue because they do not have suitable material.

 

MAXIMUM TIME AUTHORIZED AND TIME BARRIERS

The maximum time of the test, for the entire route, is set at 17 hours. The timetables (time barriers or gates) are indicated in the Road-book. These barriers are calculated to allow participants to reach the finish line within the maximum times set, making any stops in any case. To be authorized to continue the test, competitors must leave the checkpoint before the time limit set (regardless of the time of arrival at the checkpoint). All the competitors knocked out of the race who want to continue the course can continue only after having returned the bib, under their own responsibility and in complete autonomy. In case of bad weather conditions and/or for safety reasons, the organization reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate the race in progress, change the route or modify the time barriers.

 

PASTA PARTY, SHOWERS AND FINAL REFECTION

The registration fee includes the Pasta party as well as the use of showers/changing rooms (the organization may decide to modify the post-race program based on the progress of the COVID-19 emergency).

 

ABANDON

Except in the case of serious injury, a competitor must retire to the refreshment points only. The precise list of refreshment points is given in the Road-book of the race. In any case, the competitor must immediately return the bib to the organization. For those who wish, a vehicle from the organization will be made available to take the withdrawn competitor to Corniglio. Do not forget that it could happen that, depending on the conditions of the ride and the point of the route where you retire, the transport times could also be very long. The retired rider is no longer under the control of the organization. In the event of failure to notify a withdrawal and the consequent start of searches for the runner, any resulting expense will be charged to the runner himself.

 

THE WITHDRAWAL MUST BE COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY TO THE ORGANIZATION. PENALTIES - DISQUALIFICATIONS

The race marshals present on the course and the post chiefs of the control and refreshment points are empowered to enforce the regulation. COMPLAINTS. All complaints must be made in writing, deposited with the race coordination with a deposit of € 100.00 (one hundred/00 euros), non-refundable if the complaint is not accepted, within the maximum time of one hour from the arrival of the runner interested.

 

MANDATORY MATERIAL CONTROL
