This gear must be carried in a personal pack or waist system and may not be passed along the course or to other people. Judges may inspect gear and its contents at any point during the race.

7.2. Route and Checkpoints (CP)

The course passes through mandatory checkpoints (CPs). Visiting all CPs is required for a valid finish. Sections between CPs follow logical paths: roads, trails, and marked segments. Marking: paper signs or paint on trees, rocks, and other objects. Sections that may fall in darkness are additionally marked with reflective markers. Important: the 165 km and 66 km distances have no marking — participants follow the route by GPS track.
