4 RULES & REGULATIONS You will receive a bib number, but it is not mandatory to wear it. However it increases your chances to get nice pics from the race afterwards...you are not allowed to pass your bib number to another participant. You can only participate in the race if you have handed in your signed waiver when you pick up your racer packet. You will also receive a timing chip. It is mandatory to wear the timing chip at all times during the race, otherwise you cannot be timed. You are not allowed to pass your timing chip to another athlete, as it is linked with your bib number. If you can't complete an obstacle you will have to suffer 30 BURPEES. However there is obstacles that are "no fail" obstacles- you will have to overcome the obstacle otherwise your are disqualified. Passing an obstacle without overcoming it or doing the burpees will lead to disqualification. At each obstacle and along the course we have marshals checking that every athlete is following the course and obstacles. You are not allowed to cut the course. You can overtake others anywhere unless otherwise announced on the course. Also at obstacles, however we expect that you respect the other athletes.

7 BUILD A TEAM Race with your friends or colleagues! It's probably the most extraordinary, fun experience you'll ever have! TEAM RESULTS Every team with 5 or more team members automatically joins the team ranking- you do not need to register your team for that ranking. In order to be ranked, 5 team members need to finish the race. The team members do not have to be in the same heat, but can race in different heats. It will increase your team experience and you can run as a team in the same heat, but it's not mandatory. A team can be composed by male and female athletes, but there is no separate ranking by gender. Decisive for the team ranking is the time of the 5th athlete of the team in finish. It's not about the best 5 or more individuals but about the best team effort. So run through the course as a team and you will get in with a better team time.
