Three different types of marks will be used: the white tape with Patagonia Run logo will mark the course; the yellow tape will be placed in those areas where caution is advised or there is low visibility; and, finally, the reflective tapes. Therefore, runners will find along the course three different markers with the following characteristics: White tape with Patagonia Run logo : This is the main tape that marks all the race routes. By following these marks runners will stay on the right trail or course of the race. In the woods, tapes will be placed on trees, bushes and canes. In the open land (pampas), they will be displayed on stakes. Runners should follow these marks at all times and in the event the white tape cannot be seen, whether in the woods or in open land, they should return immediately to the last sighted mark. Markers will be placed in close Patagonia Run Mountain Hardwear 2018 Participant Guide 100 Mi Página 9 de 15

10 intervals in complex forest trails or mountain areas, while in those areas where there is only one trail or in open land, tapes will be placed further apart so that runners will be able to follow the route without any risk of getting lost by simply looking up. Yellow tape: Those trails or paths NOT included in the course will be closed using yellow tapes. Runners should not cross any area marked with yellow tapes. In the event of snow or lack of contrast, white tapes with Patagonia Run logo together with yellow tapes will be placed as additional marking. White reflective tape: In order to improve marking visibility on the course, reflective white tapes will be placed at variable distance from the Start Line to the Finish Line to help runners follow the course during the night and by the time it gets dark (around 6:00 p.m.). Provided runners are wearing headlamps, they will be able to follow the course. At all crucial crossroads, Marshals will be standing directing runners to the correct path Taking into account this is a long distance race with multiple crossroads and variable terrain, we recommend that runners constantly look straight ahead and spot the race course markers. Although the course will be clearly marked, it is essential to avoid taking any unmarked trail or shortcut and to follow the marshal s instructions to avoid getting lost. It is also important to pay attention to the marks and signs located at the Aid Stations (PAS). Do not take other participants running ahead of you as a reference. Disqualification Stations and Course Cut-off Times There will be Aid Stations with cut-off times. Generous cut-off times have been established to give runners enough time to complete the race. However, runners arriving at these stations after specified cut-off time will be disqualified at the Race Director s discretion and will not be able to resume the race for strict safety reasons. Runners will not be reassigned to a short-distance course. Runners in this condition will be classified as DNF. The Aid Station will keep a detailed record of these DNF runners. The Race Director s decision on cut-off times at key locations is FINAL. Runners who drop out of the race or do not meet the cut-off times of the checkpoints will be required to board the supported buses back to Race Office in downtown in accordance with the times stipulated by the Race Directors.

11 checkpoint will be dully identified. Marshals or any other staff member outside these stations are not authorized to put on record any drop out notice. Shuttle services will be provided as instructed by the Organization. Litter The race will take place in Lanín National Park. One of the key factors for success is clearly the magnificent scenery embracing the race. Therefore, local people and tourists are responsible for preserving this place. For this reason, we ask participants to cooperate with proper disposal of litter. Garbage containers will be placed at Aid Stations and 100 m from where the trail starts.

Running shoes with good traction. Running gaiters are a must, in the woods, steppe, ridges or sandy summits, and especially this year, when trails are particularly full of burrs. Your feet will get we all the time.. Dress according to weather: it might be very cold or rain/ snow. Consider wind exposure and very low temperature (-5ºC, -10ºC) when going up PAS del Filo, and going up Colorado and Quilanlahue Hills and at Portuezuelo of Centinela Hill, especially at dawn or at summits. Also consider changing out of wet clothing at Puentes de Luz, Colorado and Quechuquina Aid Stations. We recommend checking weather forecast (more reliable 48 hs. before race). Necessary hydration: estimated 600 to 1000 ml weight depending, per race hour. Estimate necessary amount according to distance to Aid Stations and Finish Line (consider 13 km distance between Laguna Verde and Miramás aid Stations, and 11 km distance between Portezuelo and Colorado Aid Stations, and that climb up Quilanlahue Hill is steep and demanding. Besides there are 14 km without any Station between Quechuquina and Quilanlahue 2 Stations. Carry your own water supply. Drink beverages with mineral salts. Stream water is not polluted, buy its drinking quality is not guaranteed. We suggest drinking the one supplied at the Aid Station, or your own. Patagonia Run Mountain Hardwear 2018 Participant Guide 100 Mi Página 13 de 15

14 Energy expenditure: according to weight estimate between and kcal all in all (one energy bar or gel=200kcal) Food intake a MUST after the first 45 minutes, and from then on every 45 minutes in order to avoid exhaustion. Carbohydrate intake is useful (cereal bars, gels or the like), supplied abundantly at the Aid Station. However, energy intake in between Aid Stations is a key factor. Choose foods you have already tried and also train hydration and energy intake. Do not try new things at the race. Along the course you will not be allowed to renew your food supply, so planning ahead is essential. Eating two hours before start time in order to avoid a full stomach, and drinking up to start time are a MUST. Front powerful headlamp (at least 100 lumens) and replacement batteries are necessary, for course between Laguna Verde and Quechuquina,. As well, it is important upon return if you are delayed.

We also recommend taking your headlamp from the start line, since the first PAS with runner s Bag is at km 55,1. Remember that as from 5:30 pm you MUST wear your lamp. Please check Regulations about Headlamp use, as it is of vital importance. Irregular mobile signal from start line to Filo, and from Miramás to Rosales Aid Station. Then it will be mostly unavailable and irregular again in Colorado Aid Station. Irregular signal at Quilanlahue Hill and Quilanlahue Aid Station, until Colorado Aid Station. Good signal from Bayos to Finish Line. Follow White Tape with Patagonia Run logo marks, and marshals` directions. In the event of snow at Chapelco, Colorado or Quilanlahue Hills, white tapes will be placed together with yellow tapes as additional marking. Pay attention to detour signalling according to running distance, especially when leaving Coihue Aid Station towards Quechuquina Station. Return course will be signalled with reflective taping up to Finish Line. Do not follow the crowd. Do not cross areas closed with yellow tapes, which are paths not included in the race course. Beware not to follow 70k course near Coihue Station (km 100,9). You must follow directions for 100k course towards Quechuquina Station. Signalling will be clear. If you decide to drop out of the race, you MUST notify the Aid Station (PAS) head, rescuer, or staff at Start or Finish Line. Do not notify marshals, as they only give road directions. At Quilanlahue, Colorado and Bayos Aid Stations, shuttle services will be provided for runners who drop out, taking them back to Race Office (Le Village Hotel) at timetables instructed by the aid station Head. 8.
