The organizer reserves the right to check the mandatory equipment either before the start of the race or at any point on the course. If any item is missing or the participant refuses to provide the equipment, a penalty will be imposed.

If you do not bring the complete mandatory equipment to the race, you may be putting yourself at serious risk, as this equipment ensures your safety in adverse weather conditions such as extreme cold, strong winds, or in case of injury when you need assistance. The equipment listed in the mandatory equipment list will be checked when collecting your race bib. Additionally, random checks will be carried out during the race to ensure that each runner has the required equipment.

If you do not have all mandatory equipment when collecting your race bib, you will not be given your race number.

Furthermore, mandatory equipment may be checked at stations during the race. If any equipment is missing, a penalty in the form of a time penalty (30 minutes) will be imposed. In the case of repeated violations, the runner will be disqualified from the race!
