The mandatory equipment check may be at the start or at any time during the trail. If the mandatory equipment is incomplete or is not shown, there will be penalty: one added hour in measured time for every missing piece of the obligatory equipment.

A competitor may wear the equipment or has it stowed in a backpack/bag. In case of bad weather forecast, the organizer reserves the right to prescribe additional mandatory equipment, which is necessary for the safety of the runners, not later than one day before the event.
