MANDATORY EQUIPMENT FROM T3

 

  • From T3 and during the climb at Carosello 3000, athletes and their support volunteers will have to have a rucksack containing:
    – front light (you can use the one used in the first part of the race)
    – heating effect t-shirt

    – ankle-length windproof trousers
    – gloves and hat
    – mobile phone with number communicated to the organization (mobile phone of the support is ok)

*waterproof jacket with hood

We consider suitable those technical jackets with integral hood made of membranes having certified breathability and water impermeability technology, as shown on the label (some examples: Event, Gore-Tex®, PacLite®, Gore-Tex®Pro, Gore-Tex® Active, Lowe Alpine Triplepoint®, Marmot MemBrain®, Mountain Hardwear Conduit).

Given the unpredictability of the weather conditions in Alpine environments, Jacket with impermeability of 10,000 mm is mandatory (we recommend using jackets with impermeability of 20,000 mm).

IMPORTANT
The 2 backpacks, athlete and support, containing the mandatory equipment will be checked during the registration and MUST BE LEFT to the organization. The backpacks will be delivered on Friday, during the race, in T3.
It will not be allowed to any athlete or support member to reach Carosello 3000 without a backpack containing mandatory equipment.

  • The medical team has the discretion to stop athletes at any time if they believe that they are no longer able to carry on the race
  • Athletes may be subject to doping controls decided by the national bodies
  • During the bike and run courses, athletes can bring along a cell phone, to be used only in case of emergency while stopping at the side of the road
