RULES

The competition will be governed by the regulations of the Spanish Orienteering Federation (FEDO) League, as well as the rules of the ARWS Europe.

Throughout the course, there will be alternating sections with free-order checkpoints and sections with mandatory order checkpoints. As a general rule, no checkpoint will be mandatory, except for specific ones (road crossings, etc.) indicated in the Roadbook.
All checkpoints will have a score assigned based on their difficulty and the time it takes to reach them, with the ranking determined by the team that accumulates the most points in the shortest time possible.
Transitions / Aid Stations: at all transition areas there will be the possibility to refill water, and you will have nuts, gummies, and oranges available as snacks. There will also be toilets and facilities available. At T1 (both categories after S7 and S8) and at T3 (Elite category only after S9 and S10), there will be broth, hot water for tea/coffee or for teams to prepare their own freeze-dried meals, and there will also be plain rice available to add to the broth.

GEAR BOXES

For Elite teams, the organization will provide 2 boxes (A and B) of approximately 100 liters each, which will be located at different transitions as indicated in the Roadbook. No Bike-Box needed.
The equipment for the Canyoning section must be handed over to the organization in a single, properly identified bag-backpack per team.
