Safety and medical assistance

There will be 10 first aid posts set up at various points along the course. These posts will be in radio or telephone contact with race HQ.  A regulation medical team will be at race HQ in Aime throughout the whole event.
The first aid posts are there to assist anybody in danger using the organisers’ own means or those of the public health service.
It is up to a runner who is in difficulty or seriously injured to call the rescue service:

• 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.
Remember that all sorts of unexpected occurrences, related to the weather or the race, can result in you waiting for rescue longer than expected. Your safety will therefore depend on the quality of what you have in your bag.
A competitor calling a doctor or a member of the rescue service subjects himself de facto to their authority and undertakes to accept his decisions.
Members of the rescue service following medical advice and the official doctors are in particular empowered to:

• retire any runner incapable of continuing in the event (by cancelling the number) .
• evacuate runners they consider to be in danger using any means at their disposal .

Checkpoints and feeding stations

All runners must pass through the 8 checkpoints and 5 feeding stations (food and water, see section on semi self-sufficiency) and 3 water stations (see course technical information table).
A dedicated space for personal supplies will be set up in the area.
Only runners wearing a visible number and who have been duly checked will be allowed into the feeding stations.
The technical information table will show an exact list of the feeding and water stations andbariière first aid posts.

Showers

It is possible to have a shower on finishing in the locker room of the Gymnase in Aime (200m from the start).
Only competitors will have access to the showers.

Retirement and return to the start

Except in the case of injury, competitors can only withdraw at a checkpoint. They must notify the person in charge of the checkpoint who will cancel their number.
The person in charge of the checkpoint will decide how they will get back to the start, according to the following general rules:

• buses are available from Plagne Bellecôte and Montchavin to take competitors who have retired or who have not complied with the time limits (10.00am at Plagne Centre, 1.00pm at La Chiaupe and 3.00pm at Bellecôte and 4.30 at Montchavin)
• runners who retire 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.
• In the case of feeding stations and first aid posts that can be reached by car or 4-wheel drive vehicles, the organisers may, when the post closes and depending on the means available, take runners who have withdrawn and are still at the post back to the start
• if  unfavourable weather conditions justify the partial or total stopping of the race, the organisers will ensure that runners who have been stopped are taken back to the start as quickly as possible.

The sweeper can cancel the bib of any competitor he meets that wants to withdraw. The competitor is then no longer under the organisers’ control.
