Course marking

  1. The courses will be marked with tapes, direction arrows, and spray chalk. Race judges will also be present along the course.
  2. The vast majority of courses lead along marked tourist trails. A turn or a change of trail will be additionally marked with distinct signs.
  3. Dangerous places, especially road crossings, will also be marked, but the participants should remember that no roads will be closed during the competition, and they MUST observe the road traffic rules.
  4. The course marking is made just before the competition and removed immediately after its end. Chalk paint is biodegradable and will disappear after the first rain (we hope not during the competition).
  5. We strongly suggest that you carry a map of the course received in the Race Office. In case of absence of signs removed or destroyed by vandals (which happens unfortunately) this may be the only way to find the right course. It is also recommended that you download the GPS track to your navigation device.
  6. If you think that any signs show incorrect direction, do not change their location by yourself! Call the phone number +48 501 609 292 and notify the chief race judge and then follow his instructions.
  7. If you get lost, go back to the last place where you saw the race signs.
