Article 18.
Basic Guidelines for the Environment and for Proper Operation
• To minimize the race’s environmental impact, participants must mark their energy bars, gels, or other similar products with their bib number. Random checks will be conducted at the entrance to the starting corridors. Once the marked products have been used, the containers or wrappers must be disposed of in the bins located at the aid stations.
• Be respectful of residents and/or workers in the areas through which the march passes, as well as the volunteers and event staff who are looking out for the participants.
• Respect populated areas. Don't litter.
• Please use the starting box you selected when you registered. A starting protocol has been established to ensure a smooth ride without traffic jams.
• At the aid stations, take only what you need until the next aid station. That way, there will be enough food and drink for everyone. Don’t stop with your bike in front of the aid station to have your water bottles refilled, as this causes a traffic jam. Do not urinate near the aid stations.
• For your safety, we recommend that you download the route for the hike onto your GPS.
Participants who do not comply with these rules will be disqualified and removed from the cycling tour by the organizers, both in this year's event and in the next three.
