2. team of 2 racers – MM ranking
3. team of 2 racers – MW or WW ranking
Each racer has to reach the age of 18 by the start of the race.
Distance
Race distance is planned in form of 3 loops . After finishing of each loop a team has to return to the Race Center where it starts the next circle. The sequence of passing of loops is set and can’t be changed.
The order of stages is described in the Scheme of distance. Some controls (CP) are mandatory for passing, the rest are not. See more details in the following chapter.
The race design doesn’t allow for the teams of Short class to take all the CPs. For the best result it is necessary to compete full 48 hours. The strongest teams of Long class have a chance to finish the race earlier than in 72 hours.
Teams completed all of the 3 loops before the race closure have a chance to get some additional CPs located close to the finish.
There will be the following routes (stages): mountain bike, paddling, trekking, rock climbing, speleo stage, fixed ropes and one secret stage. Information about the secret stage will be announced one hour before Race start, right after opening ceremony.
Order of CPs passing
One part of route is mandatory for passing, another is not. It gives a chance for slow teams to overcome at least fractionally but all stages of the race.
On the maps the mandatory check points are marked by red, non-mandatory – by green circles.
CPs connected by the red line with arrow on the map should be passed in specified order. All the other CPs can be passed in any order at the choice of teams. But there also can be the special order of passing for some CPs pointed in the route sheet. Please attend!
Some CPs (which marked in the route sheet and maps) can be taken during any of three main loops. It means that a team decides itself on what loop to take these CPs. For example: CP 45 (2-3) can be passed during second or third loop.
The result of teams broken the order of passing of mandatory CPs will be scored as well but in the final results they will be placed below those who overcame all distance in correct order.
Scheme of passing of route stages

1. Be calm. Don’t turn your back on him and don’t try to run. At once start receding slowly backside, obliquely, keeping an eye open for a bear. Talk with bear calm and loud like this: Don’t care, I don’t want to hurt to you, I go away, see – I leave away.
