The organization can modify the track for weather reasons up to the day before. All modifications will be communicated by email. The definitive tracks will be sent the same week as the race. The highlight of the route is the first 25km, they are designed with two steep climbs and slow sectors to divide possible large groups. It also crosses the natural park of Cap de Creus and we have a 7km singletrack sector. - TRACK
Once the track has been entered into the cycle computer, check that the map is correctly uploaded. All roads are clean, if you find a dirty road with branches you have to backtrack. If you find a road closed due to a traffic accident or works, you can recalculate to get back on the track as soon as possible. - EMERGENCIES
In the face of a physical or mechanical emergency, you can take any means of transport, but you must notify the organization beforehand. To continue, you will have to restart the route at the same point where you left it. - MATERIAL
It is your responsibility to bring the appropriate equipment, but the red light from the back, the white light from the front, the cell phone not on mute in case we want to call you and the geolocator that we will provide are mandatory.
