The short race 45 km is open also to competitors from 16 years of age with written permission of their parents.
3) On the entry-form all personal details must be clearly written and the selection of the distance done; the Organising Committee will choose the long one when not indicated. Entries which are incomplete or without the entry-fee paid will not be accepted.
The Organising Committee could anticipate the closing date of entries when reaching the final number of 7.000 competitors for the 70 km race and 500 competitors for the 45 km race: only in this case the fees will be refunded. The entry gives the right to compete in the race and to use all the services provided by the Organising Committee: shuttle buses, food stations, technical assistance, waxing service along the course, transport of clothes from start to finish (max weight 3 kg and value not higher than the entry-fee) and the service at the finish.

In case of impossibility of participation there is the opportunity to ask for the passage of the money-fee from a participant to another of the same nationality (it is not a passage of the start-number, in fact the new skier will receive a number based on his own results). The written request must be submitted to the secretary office by the registered person and it must contain all personal details of the new competitor (SEE THE FORM). The fee for the change is 20,00 € until 15th January and 30,00 € from 16th until 25th January (deadline) and it will be requested at the race office when collecting the bib.
The request for distance change is accepted only in case of availability of start-numbers until 25th January and charged of 20,00 € to be paid at the race office.

Thursday 28th 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Friday 29th 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Saturday 30th 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
The starting numbers are decided by the Organising Committee with unquestionable sentence according to the percentage of the athlete.

RANK x 100 ÷ COMPETITORS STARTED.
