Controls may be carried out at various points along the course. Participants must respect the environment. Waste must be disposed of only in the bins provided at the start, finish, and refreshment stations. Throwing waste along the course is prohibited and may result in disqualification. Participants are encouraged to use public transport, carpooling, or bicycles to travel to and from the event where possible.

Participants do not automatically have priority when crossing public roads.

Missing a control point will result in disqualification. Emergency contact information must be completed on the back of the race bib.

Time limits or cut-off times may be established for safety reasons. Participants exceeding these limits may be removed from the event and may be required to use transport provided by the organizer to return to the finish area. Withdrawal from the event, except in case of injury, must be reported at an official control point or refreshment station. In case of injury or medical emergency, the nearest course marshal or control point must be informed immediately so that assistance can be arranged.
