RULES AND REGULATIONS extract
Competition
The race covers approximately 150 kilometres of a variety of disciplines which may include kayaking, trekking, rope skills and mountain biking. The race will continue day and night with a anticipated time of 15hrs for the fastest and 24hrs for the slowest teams.
The secret course will be revealed at the pre-race briefing by the race directors with alternative routes and cut-off times indicated. A booklet will also be presented to each team with a team list, rules and regulations and other information.
Competitors must follow the course and alternatives designed by the organisation, and must comply with the spirit of the competition. Team members must travel within 100 metres of each other.
The route of the course may be added to, modified or cancelled at any moment by the organisers due to bad weather, security or other unforeseen circumstances deemed suitable by the race directors.
Competitors will also be briefed on weather conditions and other important issues by race officials.
Check Points and Transitions Areas
The course is punctuated by checkpoints that competitors must pass as a whole team. A checkpoint is usually manned by event officials, but can also be remote and unmanned ie the orienteering stage. A transition area is not only a checkpoint, but also an assistance area where the teams meet their support crew and most likely change discipline.
The checkpoints are placed in locations described in the competitors and assistants notes, with map co-ordinates giving the exact location.
Each team member must be present at a checkpoint to check in on arrival and check out on departure. The team must sign the checkpoint or transition area sheet to record their passage.
Teams must follow the instructions given by officials responsible for the checkpoints.
In case of a remote and unmanned checkpoint, team must follow the instruction given to them at the briefing. e.g.: record a password / number in order to prove their passage. This information will then be given at the next manned checkpoint.
All checkpoints, manned or unmanned, must be visited. Missing a checkpoint will result in the team being excluded from being ranked. An exception to this are the ‘control points’ of an orienteering section where teams will have to decide which of these to visit or not.
Timing
The organisation will start a chronometer at the start of the race. Times will be recorded at manned checkpoints, and when the teams cross the finish line.
When a team decides to rest at a checkpoint, the watch doesn’t stop.
A 24hr clock is used.
Placings
Teams can only be ranked when all members have crossed the finish line after having completed the entire course.
Prizes
The overall winners of both divisions will receive a prize which will include free entry into the next 24hrs of southern traverse and sponsors products.
There will also be other category and place prizes provided by our sponsors.
Spot prizes and other awards will be attributed to teams without considering ranking, or to team members, assistants or any other accompanying persons.
