COMPLIANCE: Athletes are required to fully respect the regulations described below. They are also obliged to obey the instructions of the match judges. Failure to comply with regulations or instructions always leads to the exclusion penalty. The judges of the race when they notice violations of the regulations, record and inform the offenders. Any other person authorized by the event has the ability to record also any violation he or she becomes aware of and submit for examination to the Match Committee.
MOVING ON THE PATH: Athletes are forced to move on the path without forming teams that stretch in width, thus preventing athletes who would like to overtake them. When an athlete is notified that he should make aside to overcome, he should remain on the upstream side of the slope. Dogs that may accompany some athletes are prohibited
ROUTE MARKING: Route marking is defined by project strips showing the correct course of the athlete as well as orange arrows. At crucial points of the route and if the above mentioned materials are judged to be insufficient, there will be volunteers who will guide the athletes . The purpose of the event is to avoid any doubt on the part of the competitor as to whether he is moving within the course.
MANDATORY EQUIPMENT, BAGS: There is no mandatory equipment for athletes. The use of baton is recommended due to the high inclination of the route, as well as the use of a hat.
ROUTE CUTTING: The shortcut (crossing) of the route is forbidden and is punishable by blocking. Each competitor has the responsibility and is required to carefully monitor the warning signs on specific parts of the path that indicate a prohibited cut / path.
CONTROL POINTS: The only control point is in the bell in the church of Saint Catherine.

Disposal of packaging materials or other non-organic waste at any point in the route beyond the predefined limits will result in a foreclosure penalty.
ROUTE AMENDMENT: If necessary (extremely hazardous weather conditions), the Organizers reserve the right to modify the trip or to delay the start of the event for a short period of time in order not to endanger the athletes’ physical integrity.
DISCLAIMER: The Commission is not responsible for the death, injury or any damage to the health of the competitors who, by submitting the application form, declare that they are aware of the dangers that exist in the mountain environment and certify that their state of health is good and allows them to fight, and have recently been examined by a doctor for this issue. However, no athlete will be required to produce a medical certificate. Athletes themselves are required to regularly take medical precautions to check their health status. The Commission disclaims all responsibility for the physical integrity of athletes who should behave responsibly at points of the route where the risk of falling with unpleasant or fatal outcomes is increased.
INSURANCE: The event does not insure the participating athletes. Insurance Companies do not undertake group insurance for outdoor activities with a high degree of risk for obvious reasons.

As the regulation does not provide for the organization, it will decide on the spot.
