Cut-off times are calculated to allow participants to reach the finishing line within the maximum time permitted whilst also accommodating any possible stops along the way (to refuel, etc.).
These cut-off times are as follows:
Chaîne des Puys-Limagne Fault Trail Experience (110 km) and Terra Volcana Trail Experience (80 km):
In order to be allowed to continue the race, runners must leave the checkpoint before the cut-off time. The organisation reserves the right to remove from the race any competitor who is clearly not able to complete the race. The individuals taken out of the race will be repatriated by the volunteer teams to the event’s village.
Any runner who is taken out of the race and who wants to continue on his/her route will only be able to do so after returning his/her bib, under his/her own responsibility and completely autonomously, with the understanding that the race sweepers (serre-files) invalidate the bib number.
Runners must communicate any decision to forfeit the race to the organisation, which (except for apparent medical reasons) is possible at checkpoints only.
For the Ultra Trail Chaîne des Puys-Limagne Fault Experience relay races, all relay runners must have left by the cut-off time. However, if the expected relay runner has not yet arrived, he/she may finish his/her relay. The team will then be automatically ranked after the teams having complied with all cut-off times.
On the Sportips registrations module, you’ll find a specific tab entitled ‘register a group’. You can then enter the required information about all participants. You will receive an offered bib (the cheapest) every 10 registered.
The prizes ceremonies will take place on Friday 14 May (upcoming information about the hours).
Dogs are not allowed on the trails, but are allowed on hikes, so long as they remain on a lead.
