The registration to the SIERRA NEVADA LÍMITE – GRAN FONDO implies the acceptance of the rules and the adequate preparation of the participant for the race, being aware of the geographical and meteorological conditions that can be found in the environment where the event takes place. In this sense, the participant exempts the Organization of possible health problems that may arise from their participation in the SIERRA NEVADA LÍMITE GRAN FONDO.
The runners registered for the race understand that they participate voluntarily and under their own responsibility in the event, and therefore, exonerate the Organization of the race from all responsibility, and agree not to denounce the organizing entity, collaborators, sponsors and other participants; as well as not to initiate any claim of civil responsibility towards the mentioned parties.
Once the registration has been formalised, the refund will only be 50% of the amount paid up to 30 days before the event, after this date no refund will be processed without cancellation insurance.
With cancellation insurance, only requests sent up to 15 days before the date of the event will be accepted.
All refunds will be made within 30 days from the date of acceptance of the request.
Once the request for cancellation has been made, the place becomes available to the Organization, which will assign it to the candidate at the top of the waiting list at that time.
The bibs will be collected at the Polideportivo Municipal de Cenes de la Vega on Friday 11:00h to 14:00h and 17:00 to 20:30 and Saturday 6:30h to 8:30h before the start.
The participant will be obliged to wear the bib number during the whole race, always on the front of the bicycle, in a totally visible way.
Each bib is personal and non-transferable.
Each participant will be assigned a bib number which will be determined randomly in all cases, except for the first numbers which will be determined by the Organisation.
The registered runners will be assigned a bib with a different color depending on the modality registered.
Once the event is over, the race bibs and runner’s bag not picked up at the established time will not be sent to the runner’s home under any circumstances.
All riders in the SIERRA NEVADA LIMIT GRAN FONDO, without exception, must ensure that they wear an approved cycling helmet.
In addition, the organization recommends runners to carry the following material to be able to run the race.
The itinerary of the race will be marked with signs and specific signage created for the race. The race route will be published on the official website of the race. Any change or modification will be made public by the same means.
Each participant must follow the entire marked route, without skipping the signs and passing through all the checkpoints.
In addition to the fixed controls indicated on the official website, the Organization may place “surprise” controls of passage or material at any point along the route.
Each participant is obliged to attend to the requests and questions of any commissaire, doctor, nurse or person in charge of refreshments, whether at the stipulated checkpoints or at any other point along the course.
It is strictly forbidden to receive external assistance or refreshments during the race outside the points provided by the Organization: these will coincide with the official refreshment points of the race. Likewise, it is forbidden to be accompanied by other people who are not registered participants in the race.
At each refreshment point there will be a specific closing time, being an indispensable requirement to pass before the established closing time in order to continue in the race.
Each refreshment post will have food and beverages that will vary depending on the kilometer where it is located. Food and beverages must be consumed at the refreshment post itself in sufficient quantity to ensure sufficient energy reserves to reach the next one, except for water, which can also be loaded in the tanks and reservoirs carried by the runner.
The race bib must be worn in order to use the refreshment area.
In the finish line area of Pradollano, all participants will have an area equipped with hot food, medical service, etc..
The race will have a single starting box so that all participants will start at the same time.
The first kilometers of the urban section will be neutralized and the motorcycles will not be able to overtake at any time with the red flag of the Guardia Civil de Tráfico.
The test takes place in closed traffic at the passage of the safety capsule marked by the GC of Traffic.
The safety capsule is 3 km wide from the head of the race and is marked by a red flag at the head and a green flag at the tail.
Any participant who is overtaken by the green flag, will be out of the safety capsule and therefore, will run in open traffic, having to respect all the traffic rules under his responsibility.
After the green flag, there will be a vehicle of the organization informing all participants who are overtaken by the green flag that, from that moment, the traffic is open and that they have to circulate with the necessary caution and respecting the rules of traffic circulation.
Participants who remain outside the safety capsule will have their bibs marked with a sticker for their distinction. This sticker will be provided at the next nearest refreshment post after being overtaken by the green flag.
The only vehicles allowed to follow the race will be those accredited by the Organization. It is strictly forbidden to follow the runners in any type of motor vehicle or on wheels (skates, bicycles, etc …), being expressly ordered by the Local Police to remove them from the circuit. A broom vehicle will be available at the tail of the race to pick up runners who for some reason do not wish or cannot follow the race, having to get on it or proceed to the abandonment of the race, those runners who are not able to keep the scheduled closing time of control of the activity, after the instructions of any member of the organization.
Each runner will be able to hand in a bag at the checkroom located at the start where he/she will be able to pick it up once the race is over.
This bag will be duly identified with the bib tag provided by the Organization. The runner must hand it in before entering the starting box.
The Organization will not check the condition of the bag or the material inside it, so it will not be liable for any claims for breakage of the bag and/or the material inside it, nor for the loss of the objects it contains. It is therefore recommended that both the bag and the material inside it are not fragile or valuable and that the closure of the bag is well secured to prevent loss in transport.
Throughout the race there will be several medical and security teams that will be coordinated with 112 by the central management of the SIERRA NEVADA LIMIT GRAN FONDO.
These teams will be distributed among the different refreshment posts and the runner will be able to request their help or assistance if needed.
All runners will submit to the doctor’s judgment whenever requested by the doctor, being the assessment of the medical team the one that prevails over any other, so the doctors may:
Eliminate from the race (by cancelling the race bib) any runner who is deemed unfit to continue.
Order the evacuation of any runner they consider to be in danger.
Order the hospitalisation of any rider when this is deemed necessary.
Abandonments must be made at the Control Points. If due to an accident or injury the runner is immobilized and cannot reach a checkpoint, he/she will activate the rescue operation by contacting the organization by telephone through the Emergency Mobile Phone number indicated on the race bib.
Once at the refreshment post, the runner will communicate his desire to abandon the race to the person in charge of the refreshment post so that he can cancel his bib and identify him as having withdrawn.
It should be noted that only at the refreshment posts, indicated as points with RETURN CONTROL, there will be means of transport to evacuate runners who abandon the race.
In the event that the retired runner chooses to return by his own means, he must also inform the person in charge of the refreshment post of his abandonment so that he can cancel his bib and identify him as retired, otherwise the Organization will consider him as lost and will activate the rescue alarm.
In case of bad weather conditions or force majeure, the Organization reserves the right to suspend, neutralize or modify the time slots and/or the route of the race.
In case of cancellation of the race due to force majeure and more than 7 days before the start date, a partial refund of the registration fee will be made according to the date of the cancellation and therefore of the expenses already incurred.
In the event that such cancellation occurs during the 7 days prior to the start of the SIERRA NEVADA LÍMITE GRAN FONDO and for reasons beyond the Organization’s control, or in case of suspension of the race once the start has taken place, no refund will be considered.
Strictly speaking, penalties will be applied to those participants who:
