3. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS<br />
To be completely aware of the length and the<br />
specificity of the event and to be perfectly<br />
prepared for it.<br />
To have acquired, prior to the race, a real capacity<br />
for self-sufficiency in the mountains which<br />
permits the management of problems induced<br />
by this type of course, and notably:<br />
• To know how to face, without outside help,<br />
climatic conditions which can become very<br />
difficult due to the microclimate conditions<br />
(night, wind, cold, fog, rain or snow)<br />

finds oneself isolated, physical or mental<br />
problems arising from high fatigue,<br />
digestive problems, muscular or joint pain,<br />
minor ailments…<br />
• To be fully aware, that it is not the role of the<br />
organization to help a runner to overcome<br />
these problems and that for such an activity<br />
in the nature, security depends upon the<br />
capacity of the runner to adapt to the<br />
problems encountered, or envisaged.<br />
These races are open to anyone, man or women,<br />
born in 1996 or before (categories hopefuls to<br />
veterans), club member or not.<br />

event’s ethical charter available at www.istria100.<br />

4. SEMI AUTONOMY<br />
The individual principle of racing in semi<br />
autonomy is the rule.<br />
Semi autonomy is defined as having the capacity<br />
to be autonomous between two refreshment<br />
points, not only on the food front but also that<br />
of clothing and security, being able to adapt<br />
oneself in particular to problems encountered<br />
or envisaged (bad weather, physical problems,<br />
injuries…).<br />
This principle is implicated in the following rules:<br />
Each runner must have all of his/hers obligatory<br />
equipment with him/her at all times during the<br />
race (see paragraph EQUIPMENT). He/She carries<br />
this equipment in a pack presented at the racebib<br />
distribution and it must not be changed<br />
during the course. At any time during the race,<br />
the marshals can verify the bag and its contents.<br />
The runner is obliged to accept these controls in a<br />
friendly manner, at the risk of exclusion from the<br />
race.<br />
Aid stations have been supplied with food and<br />
beverages to consume on the spot. Only plain<br />
water (excluding other drinks) is destined for<br />
water bottle or bag replenishment. Each runner<br />
must make sure to have, upon leaving each aid<br />
station the quantity of water and food necessary<br />
for them to reach the next aid station<br />
Personal assistance is only tolerated at aid<br />
stations, in the zone specifically reserved for this<br />
purpose and with agreement of the head of post.<br />
This assistance can only be assured by one single<br />
person, without specific equipment other one<br />
than one bag of a volume of 30 litres maximum.<br />
The remainder of the refreshment point is strictly<br />
reserved for the runners.<br />
It is forbidden, to be accompanied or agree to be<br />
accompanied during all or any part of the race<br />
by a person not enrolled, outside the tolerance<br />
zones indicated close to the aid stations.<br />
