It is up to a runner in difficulty or seriously injured to call for help:

• by going to a first aid post
• by calling race HQ. The phone number will be in your bibs
• by asking another competitor to alert the rescue service

It is each competitor’s responsibility to assist anyone in danger and to alert the rescue service.
Do not forget that all kinds of hazards, linked to the environment and the race, may make you wait longer than expected for help.
A runner who calls on a doctor or a rescuer submits to their authority and agrees to accept their decisions.

• to withdraw from the race (by invalidating the number) any competitor who is unfit to continue the event .
• to evacuate by any means they deem appropriate any runner they consider to be in danger.

• runners who abandon at other first aid posts or feeding stations but who do not require evacuation must get to the nearest return point by their own means and as quickly as possible.
• With regard to aid stations accessible by car or 4×4: when the station closes, the organisation may, within the means available, repatriate runners who have abandoned and are still present at the station.
• In the event of unfavourable weather conditions justifying the partial or total stoppage of the race, the organisation will ensure the repatriation of the stopped runners as soon as possible
