Rules

The course is designed that runner has to be almost independent, so call semi-autonomy. The time spent (regardless of the distance between them) between check points can be very long. Only in CP can gain liquid and energy for next stage, there are not any sources in mountains. There is possible use drop bag in cpC1 and C2.

Participants has to follow strictly mandatory equipment and certain rules otherwise may be disqualified. Before and during the event will be random check of your gear, if you will miss any mandatory equipment you may not continue without it. You can let any garbage in CP, but don’t pollute on course.

賽事設計是半自助，主要目的是讓跑者能獨立自主。到達每個休息站的時間可能會很長(與之間的距離無關)。山上沒有很多資源，只有在休息站能獲得飲料和食物補給，必須攜帶著跑完全程。There is possible use drop bag in cpC1 and C2.

參賽者必須遵循嚴格的強制性裝備及規則要求，要不然會喪失參賽資格，主辦單位在賽前或在任何一個休息站隨機的抽查跑者裝備，假如缺少任何一個強制性裝備，將取消參賽資格。請將垃圾留在檢查站，勿恣意丟棄山林中污染環境。

Security is everybody’s affair. Here are some recommendations to make your race a success and enjoyable. We wish everybody can be finisher. Your safety depends upon the quality of the materials which you have in your pack.

以下為強制裝備及建議裝備, 對於在夜裡起跑的組別, 我們有簡單且有益的規定: 從起點到第一個CP點頭燈要戴著(甚至更長距離, 這樣才容易看到會反光的賽道步條, 未戴頭燈的跑者在進入賽道前會被擋下並被判為DSQ)
