What should you do?

The Race Management decides whether the race continues. The team captain receives a text message with information about the current state of the race, either being green, yellow or red. This information is also displayed on the displays at switching points and through different channels. Please pay attention to the instructions of the organisation.

Standard rule: If you don’t hear anything, the race continues!

In addition, there are different color codes used to indicate a situation.

YELLOW: "The race has been temporarily halted due to..."​

The situation is too dangerous, the race has been temporarily halted. You do the following:

On the runner's route:

  1. Pay attention to your own safety! You participate at your own risk!

  2. If you consider the situation to be unsafe; take shelter somewhere.

  3. Do you consider the situation safe (again); continue running.

On the car route / a switching point / a restart:

To conclude​

  1. Make sure all people in your team are aware of this emergency schedule and that announcements are also made to everyone.
