Registration
General terms and conditions
Each runner competes at their own responsibility.
By paying the registration fee and signing the registration form, the participants accept the terms and conditions and agree to take part at their own risk (Parents or caregivers accept this responsibility for underage runners by signing the registration form.)
The signing of registration forms will take place at the registration service at the same time as the race number pick up.
Runners must be in good physical shape.
The race will take place in all weather conditions, unless the safety of the runners is at risk (extreme storm …). In such case the organizing committee will decide upon a back up trail, backup parts of the trail or complete cancellation of the race.
Due to difficulty of the race, runners under the age of 18 cannot take part in 30 and 60 km distances.
The trail will be well marked (strips, plates, flags …). The race staff and volunteers will be present at key points in order to direct the runners.
The organizer does not accept liability for any damage or injury made by the competitors to themselves, to other competitors or to a third person.
We do not return the paid fees.
- Paid fees can not be transfered to 2024.
Distance changes are possible only until May 1st 2023. After this date, changes will only be possible at the event in Kočevje with an additional fee of 5 € (if you wish to change to a longer distance, there will also be an additional payment in the difference of the registration fee).
The organizer does not accept liability for any damage made to running gear.
Should the route marking be defficient or missing, runners have to report it at the nearest check point.
All runners must carry the mandatory gear.
All runners must follow the marked path. Any use of shortcuts and running out of the marked trail will be punished with immediate disqualification. In case you don’t see any route markings for more than 200 meters, go back to the last marking and re-check the possibility of continuing.
The organizer reserves the right to change the routes.
By signing up, you allow the processing of your registration data in UTMB World and Alps Adria Trail Cup databases
