Every hour all runners start a new lap. If you don't finish the round in time and are back at the start, you're out! No late start! Very easy!
-
The start signal is given at 3, 2 or 1 minute before the start. You will learn to hate the signal. 😉

How you manage the 6.7 km is up to you, as long as you move on your own strength on your legs and hands. Aids are not allowed (including trekking poles)!

No personal help or support on the route.
-
Slower runners must let faster runners pass.
-
Leaving the track is prohibited.
