This race is semi-self reliant. We define self-reliant as the ability to be independent when in between two water stations, not only in terms of refreshments but also having the right type of clothing, looking out for your own safety, and being able to adapt to and know what to do if facing problems that might arise (bad weather, physical problems, or injuries).

This principle is implied in the following rules :

  1. All runners must carry their mandatory gear at all times throughout the race (for the details of mandatory gear please refer to the GEAR section). A running backpack/vest is recommended to carry mandatory gear.
  2. On the racecourse, a marshal can randomly check the contents of a runner’s backpack/vest. All runners must kindly and politely obey the gear check when requested. The marshal reserves the right to disqualify runners that fail to obey the request for random gear check.
  3. Water station provides food and beverages for immediate consumption while at the station. Only water (other types of beverage not included) is provided to refill your bottle or water bladder. All runners must make sure they left a water station with enough food and water to reach the next station.
PACER
  1. Runners are not permitted to have a pacer on the course. No one who is not registered in the race is allowed to be on the racecourse, even for some part of the course.

To participate in the race, certain gears are deemed mandatory. Please note that these are the minimal requirements and each runner must adjust what they bring according to their personal need. In particular, it is important to not choose the thinnest extra layer to reduce a few grams, and instead choose the most appropriate extra layer to protect against cold temperature, rain, or wind in the mountains for your own safety and good performance in the race.

The only way to process this payment is through the submission of the runner’s personal insurance documents within a certain period of time.

Except in the event of an injury, a runner can only withdraw themselves from the race at a control checkpost. They have to notify the head of the post, and then the head of the post will cancel their race bib. The runner will be asked to keep the race bib as their ticket to get on board the vehicle heading to Parongpong.

Sending runners to Race Central in Parongpong is decided by the head of post, according to the following general rules :

  • Trucks are available at certain control checkposts/water station marked by a picture of a truck on the race map to send withdrawn runners back to Parongpong.
  • Runners who withdraw themselves from the race at another rescue post atau water station in relative good condition and not in need of evacuation should as fast as possible and independently go to the nearest evacuation point.
  • Rescue posts or water stations with access for cars or 4x4 cars :
    • At the post’s closing time, the committee can bring a limited number of withdrawn runners who are still at the post (subject to availability of space in the vehicles).
    • In the event of adverse weather event that causes part or the whole race to stop, the committee will ensure all runners stopped midway can return as fast as possible.
