Rules and manners

see Announcement

Each participant will receive their start number by presenting their identity card when the start number is issued. This must be worn clearly visible on the front of the body at all times throughout the race and must not be covered by clothing. The starting number is personal and non-transferrable. The advertising on the start numbers must not be covered. The race number must never be removed unless the competitor is disqualified for breaking a rule or the competitor retires early.

The race briefing will be published online the evening before. In the briefing, the participants are made aware of the special features of the route, weather, changes, etc. by the responsible race director and head of the course.

The starting line-up begins 30 minutes before the official start time (depending on the number of participants registered). The additional up-to-date briefing for all starters by the responsible race director and route boss begins about 15 minutes before the official start time.

90 percent of the route of the U. Trail Lamer Winkel is permanently marked. In addition, it is marked by an experienced and competent marking team with marking spray, kilometer signs (every 5 kilometers), directional arrows, warning tapes, etc. There are also marshals at important points along the track. However, there is no entitlement to a continuous marking of the route, which would make your own orientation in the terrain superfluous. Usually you will find a marker at least every kilometer. In particular, in the event of heavy rain, snowfall or other unfavorable weather conditions, the marking may disappear, be covered or not be visible in good time, which is why every participant must carry the route map of the respective route with them. It should also be noted that unfortunately it can sometimes be the case that the markings are removed by third parties. The additional markers are removed by the trailing runners immediately after the last runner.

The additional orientation by the available gpx track is strongly recommended.

There are strict time limits (finish time: 7:00 p.m., cut times at the refreshment points at the "Eck" 9:30 a.m., "Scheiben" 3:00 p.m.), by which the participants must pass the respective control points at the latest. However, these time limits can be adjusted and changed accordingly by the race director and route boss to the current conditions on the route and the weather conditions. If the time limits are not adhered to, the participants concerned will be taken out of the race by the race director and head of the course, by the control point employees or the final runners in the interest of their own safety.

Participants who, for whatever reason (e.g. exhaustion, injury, etc.) decide to drop out of the race must inform the organizer (emergency number) immediately. For participants who do not cancel their registration under the telephone number provided, the organizer will initiate a search operation (possibly using mountain rescue services and helicopters) at the participant's expense.

Rescue workers are deployed along the route and, if necessary, are provided by local (mountain) rescue workers and always by our race doctor. In emergencies and medically relevant questions, the participants receive medical help as quickly as possible.

No participant may seek help from third parties (spectators, supervisors, other participants) - with the exception of falls, injuries and other emergency situations - during the race. The only exceptions to this are the handing out of food, drinks, clothing or replacement materials by companions standing by the wayside, as well as medical assistance.

• The U. TRAIL LAMER WINKEL takes place on public and non-closed roads, forest roads and hiking trails.

• Support vehicles must not impede the course of the race in any way; support from a moving support vehicle is not permitted. Impairments to the course of the race or hindrances caused by support vehicles can be punished by the jury with time penalties or disqualification of the supported participant. If escort vehicles are encountered on sections of route that are closed to public traffic, this will result in immediate disqualification of the competitor who was or should be assisted by the escort vehicle.
• For reasons of nature conservation law, companions/supervisors of individual participants are strictly prohibited from soiling or even damaging the route and/or the surrounding nature. This includes in particular spraying or painting the route with appeals to the starting participants, even if this is done with biodegradable chalk spray. Failure by companions/carers will result in immediate disqualification of the participant(s) who have been or should be assisted by these measures.
• It is forbidden to dispose of waste such as food packaging, bottles or drinking cups in nature, except directly at the checkpoints in the waste containers provided for this purpose. Violation will result in immediate disqualification.
