Recommended Equipment

• Barometric Altimeter
• Food/Energy: sufficient for the entire race. No food/energy is provided by the organizer during the race.

Equipment Check

An equipment check will be conducted for all teams at the finish.

A team will receive a time penalty if any mandatory equipment is missing or does not meet the requirements.

• The time penalty is 15 minutes per missing personal equipment item.
• The time penalty is 30 minutes per missing team equipment item.
• Any additional time will be added to the final time.

GPS

Watches with built-in GPS may only be used as altimeters, to take time, and measure distance (not for navigation such as waypoints/routes, etc.). This is an orienteering competition, and we encourage “fair play”. Other GPS devices that function solely as GPS and have a display must be stored in the backpack as “backup”. Phones cannot be used as GPS. In the night camp, mobiles can be used if there is coverage. Taking pictures with the mobile during the race is also allowed (PS. Please tag us!)

Number Bibs

Must be worn visibly from the front and back on the backpack. The team must hang up the number bib visibly at the tent in the night camp.

Each participant is obliged to inform themselves about and follow the rules given by the race director. Participation is at your own risk. Teams must consist of two people; men, women, or mixed. Dogs are not allowed.

Minimum Age

Minimum age is 18 years for distances 50 and 70. For the 30-distance, the minimum age is 16 years (turning 16 during the calendar year) with written approval from a guardian. Additionally, the combined age of the team must be at least 34 years.

Maximum Time

Mandatory – Contact the race management if you DO NOT meet the maximum time (11 hours/day. See the number on the back of the map). Do this in good time as mobile coverage is limited in the mountains.

• Friday at 20:00
• Saturday at 19:00
  Teams that exceed the maximum times on day 1 can start on day 2 but in a shorter recreational class.

Withdrawing from the Race

Teams that withdraw must report this to the race director. The number is on the back of the map. There are no transport options in the mountains. If you want to be picked up by helicopter upon withdrawing, a helicopter can be booked at the current rate: 0706516424.

Important – Remember to return the SportIdent stick (lost stick costs 450 SEK). This should be done in the finish area or at the secretariat in the night camp.

For more serious injuries, contact mountain rescue (112 in Sweden or 113 in Norway).

Recreational Class

Officials have the right to transfer teams to the “Recreational Class” due to late time or injury. There are also recreational classes on day 2. Recreational classes are designed to allow as many people as possible to participate on day 2 even if the team did not complete day 1.

It is not possible to register in advance for the recreational class. Recreational classes are available for distances 30, 50.

• Teams that exceed the maximum times on day 1 can start on day 2 but in a shorter recreational class.
• Teams that withdraw on day 1 have the right to start in a shorter recreational class.
• Teams formed in the night camp will run in the appropriate recreational class on day 2.
• Teams in the 30-distance can start in the 30 recreational class if approved by the race director.

Courses

Courses with control points are indicated on maps distributed before the start each day.
Controls consist of orange/white orienteering markers and a punching unit.
Wait for the sound and light signal when punching.
Controls must be taken in the correct order on each course (30, 50 & 70).
Team members must not be more than 15 seconds apart at a control/punch.

Punching System

Punching control and timekeeping are done with SportIdent. Sticks are provided by the organizer. The sticks must be reset before the start and will be reset again at the finish in the night camp before the start of day 2.

On day 2, there will also be resetting units at the start. Upon entry to the start, the sticks will be checked in a check unit (applies to both days). Competitors are responsible for having the correct SportIdent stick after the race organization has issued it at team registration. The SportIdent stick must be worn on the wrist, must be mounted before the start, and must not be removed until after the race. A lost SportIdent stick results in disqualification and must be replaced financially for 450 SEK.

Team Responsibility

• Participation is at your own risk! We recommend that participants review their insurance coverage before the race.
• Teams must not receive help from outsiders except in emergencies. Outsiders are defined as anyone not a member of your team.
• Teams are obliged to stay together throughout the entire race.
• Teams must follow the rules given by the officials.
• If the team withdraws from the race, they must report this to the nearest official. It is not allowed for a team member to continue on their own. However, it is allowed to form new teams in the night camp.

• Teams are obliged to assist other teams in need of help in case of injury or danger.
• Teams must not leave the night camp after finishing day 1 until the start of day 2.
