• The time penalty is 15 minutes per missing personal equipment item.
• The time penalty is 30 minutes per missing team equipment item.

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.

Time Limits

• Cutoff Time: No teams are allowed on the course after 20:00.

Courses

• Map and Controls:
  • The course map, distributed before the start of each day, shows routes with control points.
  • Controls consist of orange/white orientation markers and punching units.
• Punching Rules:
  • Ensure both sound and light signals confirm a successful punch.
  • Controls must be completed in the correct sequence for each course (30 km, 50 km, 70 km).
  • Team members must punch within 15 seconds of each other at every control. GPS and SportIdent systems will monitor compliance.

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.

• Teams are obliged to assist other teams in need of help in case of injury or danger.
