MANDATORY MATERIAL

Yes, the obligatory material will be checked at the time of bib collection and also during the races. Each competitor must have all the obligatory material always on or in his backpack during the entire duration of the competitions. 

 

• Is the mandatory equipment the same for all races?

No, the list of mandatory equipment can be consulted in the regulation

 

• What is the ecotazza for?

To avoid waste of disposable plastic in the race, there will be no glasses in the refreshment points, so each competitor must have his own container in which to pour drinks at the refreshment points.

 

• Why do I need to have a 1 liter water reserve?

The races are semi-autonomous: there are no refreshment points or fountains at every kilometre. You must therefore be independent from one refreshment point to another and in case of difficulty you must have enough water to hydrate while waiting for help.

 

• Is the headlamp mandatory in all races?

The headlamp, as written in the regulation, is mandatory for the distances , 63km and 103km.

​

In case of problems or injuries along the way, the blanket allows you to protect yourself from the cold, heat, rain, humidity and wind while waiting for help. 

 

• What is the whistle for?

The whistle is used in case you fall off the trail, where no one can see you. The whistle is more audible than the voice and nearby competitors can hear it and rescue you. Also, the whistle comes in handy in foggy weather if you get lost.

 

• What is the food reserve for if there are refreshments along the route?

The races are semi-autonomous and there are no refreshment points at every kilometre. You must therefore be independent from one refreshment point to another and, in the event of a problem, have enough food to fill up on energy while waiting for help.

 

• As mandatory material, ask for a waterproof jacket taped to at least 10000mm water columns: is a waterproof waxed also fine?

• No. Although the waxed jacket is waterproof, it is not breathable, which would lead to excessive sweating and consequently increase the risk of dehydration.

​
