La distanza progressiva è segnalata ogni km.
I concorrenti dovranno rispettare rigorosamente il percorso di gara segnalato evitando di prendere scorciatoie o di tagliare tratti del tracciato.
L’allontanamento dal percorso ufficiale, oltre a comportare sanzioni, avverrà ad esclusivo rischio e pericolo del concorrente.

Il pettorale deve essere portato sul petto o sul ventre ed essere sempre ed interamente visibile durante tutta la corsa. Deve essere quindi posizionato sopra tutti gli indumenti ed in nessun caso fissato sul sacco o su una gamba. Gli sponsor non devono essere né modificati né nascosti.
