2018 Swissalpine Irontrail DESCRIPTION:Swissalpine Irontrail Event 2018\nAn extraordinary running event with breath-taking tracks where one scenic attraction tops the previous one is awaiting you. You may choose your favourite discipline from 12 exciting races\, including the supreme Irontrail T88. \nCompete with world-class-athletes and enjoy the unique setting which only the Swissalpine Irontrail features. Unique. Spectacular. Alpine. Be part of it! \nT127 – 127KM\nPrecisely at the bewitching hour of midnight and with a full moon\, the start of this route takes place. The «Engadine by Night» cannot be better experienced than on the first phase over the Alp Muntatsch and Piz Nair (with an altitude of 3022 metres being the roof of the T127). In quick succession\, you will come across more scenic highlights. The ultimate adventure that every ultratrailer has to experience once in a lifetime. \nT39-39.1KM\nThis unique night trail offers a very special experience in the Swiss Alps. The Start occurs shortly before nightfall\, and is exceptional for those who love running at night. There is also plenty of time during the race to appreciate the spectacular dawn on the Sunday. \nT88-88.1KM\nThe successor of the legendary K78 is now being launched as a trail in glamorous and world-famous St. Moritz. The journey on the Rhaetian Railway from Davos to St. Moritz on the most attractive railway line in Graubünden is part of the new adventure and will get you in the mood for the T88. \nK23-23.8KM\nThis is the secret tip in the Swiss alpine Irontrail programme. It follows the former track of the Walser folk through Monbiel\, the furthest village of the Walsers in the valley of Prättigau. Subsequently\, it leads through a wildly romantic gorge\, over the Wolfgang Pass\, and finally passes the delightful Lake of Davos. This is an event for those who know how to enjoy themselves. \nK10-9.5KM\nIn response to many requests\, the former K10 has once again been included in the programme. This route is especially suitable to connoisseurs of running and those accompanying them. The shared Finish with the world class runners gives everyone the feeling of a special kind happiness. \nK43-42.9KM\nThis extremely popular mountain marathon is a classic. It leads through the charming valleys Dischma and Sertig\, and continues along the former mule track over the Scaletta Pass. In response to many requests\, it again follows the panoramic trail. Over the Sertig Pass and passed the lovely Sertig Dörfli it leads back to Davos. \nH21-21.4KM\nAlready in its third year of existence\, this diversified circular route has become firmly ensconced in the hiking and trail scene. The attraction of the route is special for enjoyment runners\, and those seeking hiking adventures. \nH20-20.3KM\nLocated in the middle of idyllic mountain landscapes\, this route is ideal for the newcomers to trail running. The track from Arosa to Davos promises wonderful natural experiences\, and is suitable for both those with ambition\, as well as for fun runners and hikers. \nKids-0.5\,0.9\,1.4KM\nFor the greatest Running Queens or Running Kings.\nIn the Kids’ Runs over 0.5km\, 0.9km or 1.4km nobody is too small not to become a Running Queen or a Running King. \nRequirements on participants\nAll competitions\nThe competitions take place in alpine\, in some cases high alpine terrain. This requires participants to adapt accordingly with regard to carefulness\, equipment and race strategy. \nParticipants take full responsibility for their participation in the race. This means participants are responsible for their state of health\, training\, fitness and equipment. It is expected of all participants that they:\na) are dressed suitably and in accordance with the weather conditions and their individual requirements and pro-tect themselves against rain\, cold and sun;\nb) retire from the race as soon as it threatens to become a health risk for them;\nc) behave in an environmentally compatible way and do not leave any refuse in the countryside;\nd) provide first aid help to other participants if these have an accident or suffer health problems. \nThe following minimum age levels apply\n• T127 / T88: from 18 years of age\n• Other competitions: from 14 years of age\n• KIDS: from 4 years of age \nAn acclimatisation period of ideally 5 days at an altitude above 1500 m a.s.l. is highly recommended before starting in one of the long-distance competitions. \nInfective illnesses suffered before the race (tonsillitis\, influenza\, etc.) can have a significant negative effect on the physical performance and may signify a serious danger to a runner‘s health (e.g. heart muscle damage). Anyone suffering from this kind of illness 6 – 8 weeks before the race should consult a doctor. Participants older than 35 years of age who are competing for the first time in a long-distance race are strongly recommended to undergo a complete health check by a doctor. \nT43 / T39 / K43\nThese categories represent several hours‘ endurance performance at altitudes of up to 2750 m a.s.l. and place special demands on the participants‘ performance capabilities. Adaptability\, autonomy and self-sufficiency in a mountain environment are also required. \nT127 / T88\nThese are long\, high alpine trails. They have an adventure-character where participants consciously take major risks. Some ascent and descents are very steep and require surefootedness as well as alpine experience. \nTo complete these trails\, good fitness and training are absolutely necessary. Also required are a good sense of orientation\, excellent adaptability and self-sufficiency in a mountain environment. \nParticipants are alone and run independently for long distances. Self-sufficiency is understood to be the capability of surviving alone on the route in all weather conditions\, making independent decisions (including retiring from the race)\, to be able to ensure a personal supply of food and drink and be able to provide first aid measures using an emergency firstaid kit. \nOrganiser services\nInfrastructure\nThe organiser provides the following infrastructure for participants:\n• Marked race course\n• Food and drink (during the race and at the finish)\n• Medical services\n• Transport and delivery of running kit to the finish area\n• Information about weather during the race\n• Timekeeping at intermediate posts and at the finish\n• Live tracking (for T127 / T88) \nFood + drink\nThe intermediate and finish refreshments are provided at the following distances:\nT127 / T88: Ø 17 km (15 – 20 km)\nT43 / T29 / H16 / T39 / H21 / H20: Ø 8 km (5 – 15 km)\nK43 / K23 / K10: Ø 5 km (4 – 6 km) \nBefore the event\, a plan showing the location of the refreshment stations and the food / drink provided there will be published in internet. The stations are also marked on the route map. The organisers reserve the right to modify the refreshment plan at any time and without notice. \nParticipants are responsible for ensuring that they have sufficient food and drink with them at all times. \nMedical services\nAccording to the character of the race or trail\, the time taken and the distance covered\, the medical services are limited to coaching of participants\, initial treatment in the case of an emergency and notification of civil emergency rescue services. The medical personnel have the right to remove participants from the race definitely or for a limited period if the danger exists of said participant sustaining damage to their health if they continue. In the case of emergencies or retirement from the race on doctor‘s orders\, the costs of rescue\, care and evacuation by medical or rescue services are at the expense of the participant. \nEquipment\nWeather conditions can change very quickly in the mountains. Snowfall and a drop in temperature to below freezing is possible at any time at altitudes higher than 2000 a.s.l. Efficient protection against sun\, cold and rain is absolutely necessary for all competitions. \nThe following basic equipment is compulsory for T127 / T88:\n• Cell phone (always switched on and with direct dial emergency number)\n• Rain jacket\n• Bottle/bag\n• Headlamp with spare batteries\n• Emergency thermal (space) blanket (minimum 1.40m x 2m)\n• Elastic bandage for emergency dressings (min. 200cm x 4cm)\n• Emergency whistle \nThe organisers have the right to control the compulsory basic equipment at any time. Recommended equipment: Rucksack\, a warm long-arm shirt\, cap\, gloves\, sunglasses\, sun cream\, sticks or poles. \nThe following basic equipment is compulsory for T43 / T29 / H16 / T39 / K43 / H21 / H20:\n• Rain jacket\n• Bottle/bag\n• Headlamp with spare batteries (only for T39) \nWith the exception K43 / K23 / K10 / KIDS\, sticks or poles are allowed in all the races. \nRace route and accompaniment\nPerformance guarantee\nBy taking corresponding measures\, the organisers offer participants the highest possible performance guarantee independent of external conditions. The organisers reserve the right\, at short notice and without any reimbursement of starting fees to:\na) make changes to the race route;\nb) to interrupt the race and restart it;\nc) to stop the race or to cancel it before the start. \nRoute data\nThe official route data (length\, altitude difference) is determined in cooperation with “Outdooractive”. Data measured with GPS may deviate significantly from this depending on device\, weather conditions and quality of measurement. \nKnowledge of the route / time limits and traffic control\nAn in-depth study of the route is absolutely necessary\, in particular for T127 / T88. Participants must be able to follow the race route using a map. This is very important above all\, when the route markers are missing or moved by weather conditions (wind) or third persons. \nFor safety reasons participants are not allowed to leave the race route. The route will be closed according to the time schedule given (departure from a post). Participants who arrive too late will be removed from the race by the person responsible. Continuing the race under at ones‘ own responsibility is absolutely prohibited. \nRoad traffic will usually be encountered during the race. Traffic rules must be observed. \nAccompaniment and support\nPersonal support by trainers or coaches is only allowed near the refreshment zones. Running as pacemaker is not allowed. \nNo dogs or children‘s buggies are allowed. \nMiscellaneous \nLost and found\nLost and found articles should be deposited at the information stand and can be collected there during the race. They cannot be stored or returned by post. \nDoping controls\nThe organisers are authorised to carry out doping controls. Participants are subject to the Swiss Olympic anti-doping regulations and recognise the exclusive jurisdiction of the Swiss Olympic Disciplinary Chamber for Doping Cases. \nProtests\nProtests must be lodged with the finishing steward for the attention of the race jury within one hour after arriving at the finish and after payment of CHF 50.00. \nDisqualification\nDisqualification is automatic for participants who leave the race route\, do not follow the regulations or instructions of race management\, act in an unsporting way or have taken prohibited substances. The decision of the race jury is final. \nPlace of jurisdiction\nPlace of jurisdiction is Chur. Swiss national law applies. \nData protection\nWith their registration\, participants agree to publication of their family name\, first name\, year of birth\, place of residence and nationality in the start list\, rankings and time lists. This agreement applies to publication in internet\, print media\, TV/teletext\, speaker‘s announcements and start lists and rankings posted during the race. Photographs and videos taken in connection with the T127 / T88 may be used without any claim for compensation in internet\, print media\, TV and all other social media. The organisers reserve the right to make use of the personal details mentioned here for marketing purposes unless participants express their wishes to the contrary in writing. \nRegistration \nCancellation\nStarting fees cannot be refunded or transferred to the following year if a participant is prevented from taking part for whatever reason (e.g. accident\, illness). It is therefore recommended that cancellation insurance is taken out by competitors. \nConfirmation\nWith their registration\, participants expressly confirm:\na) that they have studied the race courses and are aware that the competitions take place in alpine or high alpine terrain;\nb) that they aware and agree that the organisers accept absolutely no liability towards participants;\nc) that they know and will follow the regulations. \nParticipants in T127 / T88 race confirm in addition\nd) that they know the character of the trail and the higher risk this involves;\ne) that they are surefooted and in an good state of health\, fitness and training;\nf) that they are capable of evaluating the development of weather conditions in high mountain regions and being equipped and behaving in a corresponding manner;\ng) that they are aware of the high personal responsibility they carry with regard to their state of health and fitness\, training\, equipment and self-sufficiency in the mountains and the environment. \nLiability and insurance\nThe organisers accept no liability at all towards participants for any accidents\, damage to health or any other kind of damage.

After approximately 3km you will cross the Lassiter Highway and turn north-west for another 3km. Look out for stunning views of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) on your left. \nThe course then turns in a north-easterly direction for another 2km and the ground changes once again from a desert track back to an unsealed but graded road. After approximately 8km you hit one of the few sealed roads on the course\, Mala Road\, which takes you through the village of Yulara on your way to more off-road trails. After crossing both Giles Road and Coote Road\, a brief turn due North takes you back onto the red earth as you head up towards Connellan Airport. \nYou start to head back towards the start/finish area after approximately 12km. There are a few small dunes to navigate here with some spectacular views of Uluru awaiting you over almost every tiny bump in the road. \nThe 15km mark sees you cross a different sectiuon of the Lassiter Highway and another short stretch of sealed road awaits you before you head off once again into the bush. After approximately 18.5km you will take a left turn where a 5km stretch of pure Australian Outback awaits you\, and there are once again some truly amazing views to be had here. Look out for the view at the top of Jem’s Dune which is almost exactly half-way. \nAt around 22.5km you take a right followed by a left (approx. 200m) and you start the trip home. Utilising some of the tracks near the resort\, you take a long\, meandering loop over a small dune and continue on until you hit the track at the 26km mark. This marks the way back to the finish and you are now 3/5ths of the way back. \nAfter once again crossing the Lassiter Highway you will get to see some fantastic views of Kata Tjuta\, especially in the 30km-32km stretch. Back through Yulara village at around 32.5km sees you once again on Mala Road\, the only sealed section of the course\, with the red earth once again waiting to welcome you at around 36km. Here you will also get to see the twin sights of Kata Tjuta on your left and Uluru on your right. \nFrom here it is plain sailing all the way to the finish line\, with yet more breath-taking views to inspire you over the last few kilometres. \nThe entire course is relatively flat from a topographical point of view but there are a few little inclines here and there. A couple of short sand dunes also make an appearance and whilst they are not long or high they will certainly feel like a challenge when running up them. The views at the top will certainly make the effort worthwhile. \nUnderfoot can get a little soft in places but this is “the red earth” after all!

It covers a beautiful stretch of the Thames and has become one of open water swimming’s most prestigious marathon swims. The swim is split into 4 sections. Swimmers will be required to exit the water at the 3 locks – Hambledon at 4k\, Hurley at 10k and Temple at 11.8k – where food and drink will be available. \nWhere does the swim start and finish?\nIn 2018 the Thames Marathon 14km swim will start at The Leander club\, Henley and finish at Higginson Park\, Marlow. \nWhere should I park for the event?\nThe official car parking will be in Henley\, at Wargrave Meadows\, Wargrave Rd. From here you will take the short walk to the start venue at Leander club. After you have finished your swim and had some food and collected your finisher medal\, we will transport you back to Henley. Supporters will be able to pay on the day to use the coach service. \nIs there other parking in Henley?\nYes\, there are plenty of public car parks in Henley and they are free on Sundays. The return coach will only drop off at the official car park. \nThames Marathon – Long Distance Swimming Event\nHow will my bag get to the end?\nWe will transport one small bag (3-4kg) for each swimmer. We will tag your bag for identification purposes\, and have it waiting for you at the finish area. We try and be careful but accidents do happen -please don’t use your best bag as we can’t be held responsible for any damage suffered in transit. \nCan I swim in a team with a group of friends?\nAbsolutely\, in fact we encourage it. The more people who swim together and look out for each other\, the safer the event is. If you wish to swim with friends\, please make sure that you all enter the same wave. \nWill I be able to wear a tow float?\nIn 2018 all swimmers will be required to use a tow float and are advised to get used to swimming with one before the event. Selkie Swim Co have some available. \nHow will you ensure that those who want to do solo swims are able to do so safely?\nWe have a fully approved safety plan that ensures coverage across the full course throughout the event. In addition ALL swimmers will be required to use a tow-float at the 2018 event. \nCan I swim non – wetsuit?\nWe do have a small number of non-wetsuit places available. . This is to minimise the risk to our safety plan. Wetsuits are important for retaining heat and providing buoyancy. If you would like a non-wetsuit place your application will be assessed by the events team for approval. Our decision is final on wetsuits and no discussion can be entered into. We advise swimmers to be prepared to wear a wetsuit if asked\, on the day. \nNon-wetsuit places have now been allocated for 2018 and a waiting list is in operation \nHow many feed stops will there be ?\nThere will be 3 feed stops in 2018 – one at each lock: Hambleden (4km)\, Hurley (10km) and Temple (11.8km) \nWhat food will be available at the feed stops?\nWe will provide a bit of everything\, including bananas\, energy bars\, energy drinks\, water\, some chocolate\, sweets\, and some salty snacks. A couple of the stops will also have hot drinks. \nHow will the start work?\nThe pink wave\, for faster swimmers that wish to race against the clock\, will go off first. The remaining waves will go off at 20 minute intervals (timetable subject to change). \nHow should I choose which wave to enter?\nFaster swimmers that wish to swim against the clock\, and have a 1500m pool time of 25 minutes or less should select the pink wave. \nOther swimmers should select either the blue or the green wave. In 2018 both of these waves will be of mixed ability. If you wish to swim with a group\, make sure you all select the same wave. The BLUE WAVE is now SOLD OUT. If you are not a pink wave swimmer\, please select the green wave. \nThe first (pink) wave will set off at 7am\, with approximately 20 minutes in between the waves. These timings are provisional and are subject to change. \nWe would recommend that if you are not presently able to complete a 1500m swim in under 45mins it might be as well to target a shorter event and then build for the 2019 Thames Marathon. \nAre there toilets on the course?\nThere are toilets at the start at Leander club\, and at the finish at Higginson Park. We are aiming to have a toilet stop at one of the food stations as well. \nCan supporters walk the route?\nThe route is walkable\, by following The Thames Path. Download the route here – Thames Marathon Walking Route. \nIt is also possible to cycle the route\, although there are a large number of kissing style gates where you may have to lift your bikes to get through. \nCan I talk to fellow swimmers in advance of the event?\nDefinitely\, we have set up Henley Swim Chatter as a facebook forum\, where you are able to discuss anything with fellow swimmers from nutrition and training tips to transport to the event on the day. There is also a facebook event page with all the latest information.

The Chestnut Appeal hope that soon they can announce the arrival of a second Scanner in the East of the region and it is their aim and with the support of the public to install others in Torbay and Truro as and when funds allow. \nThe St Michaels Mount swim will be fully supported by the team from Event Water Safety. Event Water Safety provide the necessary expertise and craft and have covered all the Chestnut Appeal’s charity swims since 2011. EWS provide safety at some of the UK’s biggest swims including the Dart 10k and Bournemouth Pier to Pier. \nRegistration for the swim is £35. Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event\, but it’s the money you raise that helps Prostate Cancer patients and their families\, so we ask all our St Michaels Mount Swimmers set themselves a Sponsorship target of at least £75.\nThis will be our fifth swim around the mount and it’s a swim that has helped us raise our profile in Cornwall and has seen us attract new supporters.

At the foot of Hekla\, the country’s most active and famous volcano\, we’ll jump on our bikes for the first bike ride of the week – a stunning route across strange lava fields and stunning black desert sands before entering the amazing Dómadalur region\, flanked by smooth grassy mountains on one side and colourful rhyolite peaks on the other.\nOur first night is spent in a remote cabin in the heart of these spectacular highlands. \nDay 2-Bike 16 Miles\nWe head out early from our mountain hut at Landmannahellir to Frostastadavatn Lake (Icelandic for ‘Lake of the Frosty Place’). Our cycling route takes us to the famed natural hot springs at Landmannalaugar. Here we have an opportunity for a hike and a regenerating\, well-deserved soak in the steaming natural pools. In the afternoon\, enjoy an optional 9 km single-track bicycle route to Ljótapollur.\nOur accommodations for the night are at a mountain hut near Landmannalaugar. \nDay 3-Bike 25 Miles\nOn our third day of bike riding\, we head eastward\, biking on the Fjallabak Nature Preserve’s north route. The Fjallabak region\, one of the largest geothermal areas in Iceland\, takes its name from the numerous wild and rugged mountains with deeply incised valleys that are found here. The Nature Preserve\, where more than 150 types of flowering plants\, ferns\, and allies have been identified\, was established in 1979 to protect the area’s natural features so that future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy them as we do today.\nTonight\, our day ends at a comfortable mountain hut\, where we’ll spend two nights. \nDay 4-Bike 19 Miles\nToday starts with a shuttle from Hólaskjól to Langisjór. Once at Langisjór we’ll gear up and cycle along the Skaftá River – a picturesque glacier-fed river. We continue along the rushing waters through the Eldgjá volcanic canyon\, an enormous 5-mile fissure in the Earth and testament that this island straddles two continental plates.\nAfter an amazing day on the trail\, we eventually return to our mountain hut for a hearty meal before turning in for the night. \nDay 5-Bike 28 Miles\nDay 5 begins on a black sandy highland road through pasture land used for sheep grazing. The gravel bike route today affords a magnificent view of the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier – with its ice cap topping the Katla volcano\, made famous during the 2010 eruption of nearby Eyjafjallajökull. After a tasty lunch\, we continue toward the south coast and cross the famous Laugavegur trekking route – noted for its wide variety of otherworldly landscapes.\nAt our final mountain hut for the week\, we’ll enjoy a farewell dinner and celebrate our last evening together. \nDay 6-Bike 16 Miles\nToday’s bike ride starts off at Emstrur\, passing the impressive Markafljót Canyon. From there we pedal our mountain bikes along the mountains with several challenging sections to the great canyons of the Markarfljót River. After lunch\, we make our way on a remote and beautiful mountain road that leads to an idyllic valley under the Tindfjallajökull Glacier\, where we’ll finish the week’s riding. \nAfter packing up our gear\, we’ll drive back to hotels in Reykjavik for an afternoon arrival in the busy city.

Choose the marathon\, half marathon or cheer on the runners! \nBeing rich in history\, culture and scenic nature\, Jordan offers its visitors superb possibilities for an exciting vacation. From the splendid ruins of Petra and the vast and awe-inspiring Wadi Rum desert\, to a floating swim in the Dead Sea – Jordan has something for everyone to enjoy\, not to mention the warm hospitality of the Jordanian people. \nEmbark on an Arabian adventure and run the desert race of a lifetime! \nThe Petra Desert Marathon is a challenging adventure marathon set in the beautiful desert region of Jordan. Starting in the ancient city of Petra\, the route takes runners on a remarkable route through the area surrounding Petra. From the lunar-like mountain landscape to the arid desert\, runners navigate challenging terrain in the dry\, desert heat. \nInformation relating to the marathon event can be found on this page. If you can’t find what you’re looking for\, have a look at the important information section on the registration packages page\, or get in touch with us. \nAge Limit\nMarathon runners must be minimum 18 years old on race day.\nHalf marathon runners must be minimum 16 years old on race day. \nAwards\nAll finishers receive a medal. A small\, symbolic prize is given to the winners of both distances for men and women. Please note that there is no prize money. \nWeather & Clothing\nWith temperatures as high as 35°C / 95°F and a hilly\, desert route offering very little shade\, the Petra Desert Marathon is an arduous race. \nIt is recommended that participants run in light-weight\, light-coloured clothing. \nA t-shirt offers better protection from heat stroke than a sleeveless shirt\, but it is of course an personal choice. In all cases\, we highly recommend the use of sunscreen with high protection and a cap. \nThere are no clothing restrictions\, so women and men alike can run in shorts\, tights\, tank tops etc. \nCut-off times\nAll runners have 7 hours to complete the race. Runners still on the route after the time limit will be picked up by a race official or medical car and driven back to the finish area. \nFive hours after the start\, however\, the route closes at the 31km mark (10km mark for the half marathon) meaning that runners who haven’t passed this point at 11:30 will not be allowed to finish the race. \nDistances\nThe Petra Desert Marathon features a classic 42.195 km Marathon and a Half Marathon. The distances are colour-coded – marathon is black and half marathon red. \nAt the race briefing the day before the race\, runners are permitted to change distance. Please note that change of distance is not allowed on race day. \nDrink stations\nDrink stations serving water are situated along the route. Selected stations also serve energy drinks and bananas. \nElevation\nThe Petra Desert Marathon is a hilly course with an ascent of roughly 1\,200m and a descent of 1\,100m. \nMedical Team\nA team of specialised doctors from Denmark and paramedics from Jordan will supervise the marathon and assist in case of injury or exhaustion. The medical team has undisputed authority to exclude runners who\, according to the doctors’ judgment\, should not continue running if there is a serious health risk to the runner. The medical team will be patrolling the route and be situated in the finish area and on strategic points of the route. \nRunners who wish to drop out of the marathon should go to the nearest drinks station and wait for a medic or race official car. If it is not practical to go to a drink station\, simply wait at the side of the road. We encourage all participants to look out for each other and report to the officials or medical team if you see an injured runner on the route. All decisions made by the medical team are final. \nPersonal belongings/supplies\nPersonal belongings can be dropped off at the Visitors Centre and will be brought to the finish area. Any personal belongings you want available at the finish area should be packed in a bag or backpack and clearly marked with your name and start number. The bag must be handed over to the race officials at Petra Visitors Centre before 5:30 on race day morning. \nThe walk from the Visitors Centre to the start line can be chilly and a light jacket or sweater is recommended for the walk. This jacket or sweater can be dropped at the start line and will be brought to the finish area. Again we ask you to clearly mark all your belongings with name and start number. \nThe Petra Desert Marathon organisers cannot be held responsible for any lost or damaged items or valuables. \nIt is possible to have personal supplies delivered to selected drinks stations. Marathon runners can get personal supplies at four stations and half marathon runners at one station. \nThe personal supplies can be food\, drink\, sunscreen or other personal necessities. \nPersonal supplies must be handed over to the race officials at the race briefing the day before the race – remember to clearly mark your supplies with your start number and the number of the drinks station you want it deposited at. \nPersonal supplies deposited at the drinks stations will not be returned. \nRace officials\nEnglish-speaking race officials are in charge of setting up the route as well as controlling the logistics on race day. They will be patrolling the route and guiding on the most crucial places on the course. Assisting guides will also be placed on the route to show directions. All decisions made by the race official team are final. \nRoute description\nFrom the start line in the Street of Facades\, the route goes through the ancient city of Petra and right away you will find yourself surrounded with tombs\, caves and monasteries carved in the mountainsides. \nA 2km uphill section on paved road leads runners out of the Petra Archaeological Park boundaries and via the main road towards the desert on hilly tarmac road. \nAfter 6 kilometres\, the route leaves the asphalt road and continues into the desert. Half marathon runners take the direct way to the river bed gorge “Siq Al Bard” while marathon runners have to do a loop around the hill top “Al Musirh”. Leaving Siq al Bard at Little Petra\, the route is back on the tarmac road heading towards the village of Ammarine \nJust before the village half marathon runners continue straight through the village while marathon runners turn left on the road leading to Wadi Araba to do a 8km back tracking stretch running past incredible rock formations that only few tourists visit. \nWhen passing the 30km mark\, full marathon runners find themselves back at Ammarine village and merge again with the half marathon course. From here\, the route goes uphill to a mountain ridge for the next 5 kilometres\, but the strenuous efforts are rewarded with an astonishing view over most of the marathon route\, the mountains covering Petra and on clear days even Israel can be seen. On this mountain ridge the surface becomes gravel for the next 3 kilometres. \nThe final 4 kilometres are steep downhill running on paved roads towards the finish line. \nRoute logistics\nKilometre signs can be found along the entire route. Owing to the conditions\, however\, they may be placed +/- some metres from the exact point. The kilometre signs are therefore only for orientation and runners shouldn’t calculate speed based on the signs. \nNote that there won’t be any toilets along the course\, which means that there are toilets everywhere! Toilet paper is available at all drinks stations. \nThe route is not closed off to traffic\, but traffic police guards all entries to the route to warn drivers and ask them to slow down. Traffic is not heavy on these roads\, but do keep an eye out for cars and trucks while running on paved roads. \nRules and regulations\nIf you decide to change distance during the race\, ie. if a half marathon runner decides to follow the marathon route instead of the half marathon route\, he or she will receive a marathon medal but not an official time. The race result will read FNT (finished no time). The same applies for a marathon runner who changes distances during the race. All runners who change distances before race day will be registered accordingly and receive an official time. \nThe top three male and female finishers of all distances are the first three to physically cross the finish line regardless of their net time. \nStart/Finish\nThe finish line is located near the Petra Visitor Centre within walking distance of the Mövenpick Resort and Candles\, Edom and Petra Moon hotels. \nAll runners must meet at the Petra Visitor Centre from where we walk the 2.5 kilometers through the Siq and past the Treasury to the start line at the Street of Facades. \nAll runners who complete the marathon or half marathon within the time limit will receive a medal after crossing the finish line. \nWater and a sandwich lunch pack are given to all participants. Checked-in bags can be picked up at the bag check-out area. \nStart/bib numbers\nA tool for race directors to tell hundreds of runners apart\, made of a plastic-like paper\, which you pin on your body. They also serve as mementos and for others to monitor your progress. \nAll runners must wear the official bib number that will be handed out the day before the race. Marathon bibs are black while half marathon bibs are red. The bib number must be attached to the front of the torso and be visible during the entire race. \nSupplies on the route\nThere will be water stations at approximately every 4 kilometres along the route. Some stations will also serve energy drinks and bananas. All stations provide bottled water. Marathon runners will be offered energy gel after 26km and 35km. \nTerrain\nThe route is run on a mixture of gravel and paved roads. The surface in the desert sections is sand with loose rocks. \nTime taking and results\nTiming is done with AMB Chip. The chip will be in the race pack that runners receive the day before the race. The chip must be attached around the ankle with the velcro strap that follows or in the shoe lace. The chip must be handed back to the timing staff at the finish line. \nTraffic\nThe roads are not closed for traffic. Although traffic is not heavy in the area\, please be aware whenever running on asphalt roads. We advise you to run on the left side of the road\, so you can see any vehicles coming towards you. \nWrist bands\nPlease note that the marathon route has an out-and-back stretch totalling 18km. At the turn-around point of this stretch (9km out) marathon runners will receive a wrist band to prove that they went all the way out. The wrist band must be worn for the remainder of the race to the finish line. No wrist band = disqualification. \nThe wrist band applies to marathon runners only.
