Most of the ascent occurs in the first 6 kilometers. Proper warming up is recommended for athletes, as an uphill path follows after the first 500 meters.

The time limit for completing the distance is set at 3 hours. After this time, the organization bears no responsibility, and athletes must return to the finish by the shortest route indicated to them.

The route will be marked with red flags and white-red marking tapes only. At intersections off the route, there will be a red X marking.

At points where athletes run on asphalt, there will be organizers or Civil Protection personnel, and athletes are urged to exercise caution.

The organization reserves the right to modify the race route for safety reasons or emergencies.
