Rules & Regulations

This is a sporting event based on honesty, integrity and fairness. What counts for each runner is his own performance and the knowledge that he has done his best "Participation comes before winning".

This year Bar Coding system from GCE Soft Company will be used. Every runner will have his Bar Code number on the running number.

The Barcode number will be used at the check -In point and on each "Time keeping" station.
In addition to the appointed timekeepers from the Royal Automobile Club, at each 4km marks there will be official referees from the sports federation as well as roving marshals.
Red Flags are used to indicate the 4km mark.
A committee is in charge of verifying all the observations given by the referees, time-keepers & marshals. The decisions taken by this committee will be irrevocable.
