Consideration on the course

It should be enjoyable for everyone to make their way towards Mora, and it’s therefore important to show consideration towards your fellow participants. Take an extra look when you change tracks and leave the left-hand track free for overtaking. This way, everyone can go at their own pace all the way to the finish. The basic rule is: Keep to the right, overtake on the left!

Time restrictions

For your security there are restrictions at some checkpoints; time limits after which you cannot pass. The checkpoint must be left 10 minutes after the time limit for arrival has expired. If you arrive too late at a checkpoint you must abort the race. Bus transport to the finish in Mora will then be arranged.

If you reach the checkpoints within the time limits, you will be able to complete the race.

In extreme weather conditions the race directors have the right to change the time limits.
