Information for runners, team leaders and other interested people.

There will be LIVE-tracking on the women’s leg 5 and on the men’s leg 2, 4, 7 and 10. On each of these legs 20 teams will be tracked. If your team is in the leading group on any of these legs it is likely to be selected for tracking.

At least one hour before estimated start of the leg the organizers will select which teams are to carry a GPS-unit. For the runners selected for LIVE-tracking it will be mandatory to wear a GPS-unit. Any team refusing to carry the GPS-unit will be disqualified by the organizers.

The unit weighs 113 grams and must be carried in a back strap supplied by the organizers. The back strap must be worn underneath the outer shirt. For the night legs the back strap must be worn outside the battery.

The GPS-unit will be handed to the runner at the check-in to the start area. The runners selected for carrying the unit will be announced by the speaker no later than 1 hour before the estimated start of the leg and a list of selected runners will be posted at check-in.

It is the responsibility of the team and the runner:
# to be informed about whether their runner should carry a GPS
# to report to the check-in and to put on the GPS
