There shall be only one time limit point, at the
finish line:
• Umag /42,3 km/: before 10 PM on Saturday,
April 19th (10 hours into the race)
Competitors that do not reach these points within
the established time limits shall be stopped and
will not be allowed to continue the race.
In order to protect the health of the participants,
medical staff at the check points have the
authority to stop those runners who are judged
unfit to continue the race. In this case, the
participant must follow the indications of the
member of the medical staff. Anyone failing to
do so will incur immediate disqualification.
Participants who reach the check points after the
maximum time, those who are injured and those
who are judged by the medical staff to be unfit
to continue the race, and any other athletes who
decide to drop out, shall be taken to the finish line
by shuttle bus. For logistical reasons, competitors
who have dropped out may have to wait before
being returned to the finish area. Any participant
who drops outfrom the race at any point other
than the established check points should make
their own way to the following aid station/check
point and from there will be transported to Umag
by car.
In the case of poor meteorological conditions
and/or for reasons of safety, the organisation
reserves the right to stop the event underway or
to modify the time barriers.
15. REST AND SHOWERS
Uniquely for 100 miles and 110 km race: in Buzet
each competitor can benefit from a rest area
(with camp beds and blankets).
Those runners who wish to stay on in Umag after
the race, must make their own accommodation
arrangements.
It is possible to take a hot shower, only at the
arrival.
Access to the rest area and to the showers at the
arrival is strictly limited to runners in bare feet.
16. ABANDONMENT AND REPATRIATION
Except for injury, a runner must only abandon at
a control post. They must alert the head of post,
who will invalidate their race-bib.
The runner keeps his invalidated race bib because
it is still his pass for shuttles, buses, meals, care
rooms…
Repatriation will be decided on by the post
leader, based on the following general rules :
• Buses are available from certain refreshment
posts indicated by a pictogram “bus” on the
event route maps to repatriate runners, who
abandon, back to Umag.
• Runners who abandon at another rescue or
refreshment post but whose state of health
does not necessitate being evacuated must
get back as quickly as possible and by their
own means to the closest repatriation point.
• Concerning the refreshment or rescue posts
accessible to cars or four-wheel drive
• During the closure of the post, the
organisation can, in the measure
of means available, repatriate the
runners having retired and still present
at the post
• ln the case of unfavourable weather
conditions justifying partial or total
closure of the race, the organisation
ensures the repatriation as soon as
possible of those runners having
retired.
In case of abandonment before a control point,
it is imperative to return to the previous control
point and inform the post leader of one’s
abandonment.
If, during this return, the runner meets the end
of race sweepers, it is them who invalidate the
race bib. The runner is then no longer under the
organisation’s control.
17. WAY MARKERS
For better night vision, the way markers include a
section of white reflective material which will be
easily visible with a head torch.
ATTENTION: if you can not see any more markers,
retrace your steps!
With respect for the environment no paint will be
used on the paths, only on the paved roads.
It is imperative that you follow the paths with the
markers without taking short cuts.
18. FINISH
When you finish the race, you will receive a
finisher’s medal.

Immediate disqualification with withdrawal of
the race BIB:
