TRACK -300k race

300k DATES:10.-16.02.2023

 

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

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 maybe wouldn't find the tent 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 needs to use the GPS basicly to know where is the mandatory waypoint and in case that the official snowmobile track is confused by other snowmobile tracks or the distance between signs.

 

During the whole race participants NEED to use a Satellite Device Tracker to do the check-in in mandatory waypoints.
