    300 kilometers ultramarathon. Maximum time to complete it: 5 days.

     

     

    The 300k race is a partially signed track. Participants needs to use a GPS, to follow the track and know where the mandatory waypoints are, and a Satelite Tracker Device so organisation can know their position. The 300k track have mandatory waypoints to follow and once the participant arrive to the mandatory waypoint must do the ok/check-in with the Satelite Tracker Device, sending an ok message with his/her position. Everybody can follow their progress throught Follow My Challenge webpage.


    Anyone who doesn't know how to use the Satelite Tracker Device and do the tracker settings or don't know how to use a GPS, the GPS software, read and understand a map and orientation, should not register in this race.

     

     

     

    THE 300k RACE HAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT SECTIONS:

     

    First section of the track is the same as 150k race. The 150k race is a partially signed track, so participants needs to use a GPS.

     

    All mandatory waypoints in this first section match with the 150k race checkpoints (8). Most of this checkpoints have water, shelter and firewood, also have a limit time, so if participants arrive when checkpoint is closed participants wouldn't find the shelter but can use the wood (if still some) if they want to do a fire. In this first section, organisation work on track during the previous days to leave it in the best possible conditions.

     

    Second section is quite different and it follows an official snowmobile track. There are signs, in some areas more than others. In some areas participants could find very good snow conditions and in others maybe could find deep snow and also could find other snowmobiles tracks crossing the official snowmobile track, so those tracks could confuse the right way... Track conditions depends on how long ago snowed and when the last snowmobile went through there. In this section participants need the GPS to know where are the mandatory waypoints.
