The safety network consists of station medical teams and on-course rescue teams:
All race staff, medical personnel, and rescuers are authorized to:
Runners must cooperate honestly when asked about their physical condition by medical staff.
To request a rescue, call the emergency number printed on your bib. Allow time for rescue teams to reach remote alpine locations; use your mandatory gear (emergency blanket, rain jacket, warm layers) to stay safe while waiting.
Safety personnel are stationed at critical checkpoints. Runners who feel unwell should proactively seek help.
The OC coordinates with regional hospitals to provide priority admission for injured runners. All medical treatment costs must be paid by the runner; post-event reimbursement can be submitted to the insurer according to policy terms.
Emergency Resource Notice: Reserve rescue capacity for genuine emergencies. For muscle cramps, superficial abrasions, or mild fatigue, manage independently and proceed to the nearest aid station for basic treatment before deciding whether to continue.
The OC may modify routes, adjust start times, or suspend/cancel the race entirely due to force majeure or extreme weather.
Event insurance:
If a runner provides incomplete or inaccurate registration information, their insurance policy may be invalidated. The runner assumes all resulting liability.
