TIME LIMIT AND CUT-OFF TIMES

If you have passed the last checkpoint in time (Høgevarde), you may continue towards the finish line. The finish area will not close until all runners have crossed the line.

COURSE MARKING
All courses will be marked with flags on the trails. On crossroads there will either be voluntary people or clearly marked signs for the racers. It is forbidden to run outside of the trails to avoid disturbing the wildlife in the area. Note that all courses will follow trails or gravel roads and therefore limited marking will be put in place on places where the course follows a trail/road. It is recommended to download the GPX file and inport it to your watch or mobile phone for the race. It is forbidden to run with shoes that have metal sparks.

WILD REINDEER AWARENESS
We are moving through a wild reindeer area, so we must show consideration and respect for all animals and nature. It is prohibited to disturb or try to approach the reindeer. If they are on the trail, you should run around them and give them as much space as possible.

CAN YOU BRING A DOG TO THE RACE?
No, dogs are not allowed. This is for the safety and fairness of other runners, and also to protect the ptarmigan nesting during this period.

TRASH
It is prohibited to litter along the course, and violations will result in disqualification. Please take your trash to the finish line or dispose of it in the garbage bags at the aid stations along the course.

FIRST AID
First aid equipment is available at all aid stations, and there is medical assistance at the start and finish areas. It is also mandatory to carry basic first aid equipment with you.

WITHDRAWING FROM THE RACE / DNF
Anyone who does not finish the race must register DNF through the registration platform Racedays OR inform an volunteer / race office. This is important for safety reasons, so the organizers can keep track of all participants.
