Sporting Rules
To become a Finisher, you must run 15km with 500 meters of elevation gain or the equivalent of 20 kilometer-effort. Kilometer-effort means that for any gain of 100m in elevation, one kilometer is added to the distance of the route.
The Virtual Race must be completed by walking/running (top speed of 22 km/h max).
The Virtual Race can be completed over several runs or in one go.
Ranking :
The ranking is calculated on the overall timing on the basis of the GPX tracks provided between the first run (start) and the last run (finish). Thus, runners who choose to complete the Virtual Race in one single run will be ahead of those who have completed the it in several runs.
In the event of a tie, the activity time (= time in motion) will be taken into consideration.
Liability and Insurance :
You are responsible for your own race and GPS / tracking system.
All runners participate under their own responsibility. Physical activity requires good training and all participants declare that they are healthy and fit for the challenge .
