Race Rules

  1. Your race bib must be worn visibly and facing forward at all times. Do not fold or hide your race bib.
  2. You must complete the marked course on foot under your own power. Shortcuts are not permitted and are grounds for disqualification. Please always stay on the marked course. If you get lost, return to the last sighted marking or checkpoint. Please contact the Race Director or the Technical Director in any emergency situation.
  3. You must check in at each aid station (AS) manually or at checkpoint (CP) through a timing scanner. Failure to do so will mean you will not be registered as completing the race course and you risk disqualification or not being ranked. Final AS and CP locations will be posted at least one week before the race.
  4. You may use trekking poles but carefully stow them away when not being used to avoid inconvenience or harm to other runners.
  5. Be courteous to locals. If needing to pass through gates/fences (especially fences for livestock) make sure to close them after you pass.
  6. Do not cause harm or endanger animals including pets, livestock, or wild.
  7. Do not bushwhack. Do not step, break, or grab plants especially crops that were planted by locals. Runners will be charged the cost of damage when caught or proven to have intentionally damaged crops/plants.
  8. Course sweepers are following behind the last runner and removing the markers. If you are towards the back of the race, make sure you do not step off the course and let the sweepers overtake you as the markers will then be removed and you may not be able to follow the course.
  9. Always walk on the right side with traffic coming towards you on roads unless advised by the course marshals.
  10. If you need first aid help on the course you must use the emergency phone numbers provided for the race (printed on your race bib) to contact event organizers who will arrange to retrieve you if required.
