Limited number of participants

As last year, the number of participants is limited because of the capacity of certain locations. Accordingly, we allow a maximum of 600 accepted participants. If you register, but do not pay your participation costs, you may be left outside of the 600-person limit and we will have to cancel your registration. Therefore we ask you to pay your participation costs as soon as possible after registration in order to secure your participation.


Transportation

Return to Kolozsvár (Cluj)

For the return from Torockó (Rimetea) to Kolozsvár (Cluj), the organizers provide microbuses or buses and trucks for the bicycles. Departures are scheduled at 17:00 and 19:00 from the Market Square. Transportation by bus can be requested while filling out the online form, by checking the chosen option.

For those, who require transportation from Rimetea back to Cluj, it is necessary to register at the transportation office after arriving to the finish, because the time of the departures could change compared to the initially published times. If there are not enough passengers for the first minibus, everyone will be transported at 19:00. 


Information regarding the transportation of bicycles back to Kolozsvár

The bicycles will be transported with trucks.

About 25–50 bikes can be transported on a truck, in standing position, secured to each other. This transportation method has already been used successfully at our latest endurance bicycle tours. The bikes are loaded in such a way as to avoid any damages or scratches during transportation. We will pay as much attention to this as possible, but we cannot guarantee this 100%. Those who are very sensitive about possible damages to their bike should bring to the start a light blanket or something similar. Place it in a bag with their name on it. The organizers will transport there to the FINISH and the bike can be covered with the blanket to protect it from any damages due to touching the bikes standing next to it. Adhesive paper covering tape will be available at the finish office to be used for the protection of possible contact points on the bike frames.


What will be provided for the participants?

  • The organizers provide each participant with a time card, and at request a printed tour map with detailed route description and a memorial t-shirt. Those who complete the tour will be awarded a certificate and a badge.
  • We provide temporary marking of some parts of the routes with strips and signs, and digital routes can also be downloaded from our website.
  • The participants will receive energizing food (CP 3, Adrenalin Park – apple, banana, biscuits, muesli bar, wafer bar, glucose, grape-suga), as well as sandwiches (bread and dripping, jam – CP 6, Szind/Săndulești and CP 9, Várfalva/Moldovenești). Drinking water will be available at all checkpoints.
  • At the FINISH in Torockó/Rimetea, starting from 14:00, all participants are invited to a bowl of warm meal.
    Important! This year we kindly ask you to bring your own plate / bowl for the warm meal.
  • Out of consideration for the environment, single-use cups will not be available at the checkpoints; please bring your own bottle/cup.

Luggage transfer

If requested, the organizers can transfer the luggage of the participants (1 package per participant), free of charge, from the start location to the finish location in Torockó/Rimetea, where they can be collected from the finish office. Please label the package with your name and phone number. The organizers do not assume any responsibility for any valuables placed in the luggage.


First aid

First aid kits will be available at checkpoints.
A medical practitioner and a medical assistant will accompany the tour.
The mountain rescue service (Salvamont) has been notified about the tours. However, the participants should be aware that on certain sections it can take some time for the help to arrive. Everyone is responsible for their own safety and, if needed, should help other participants according to their abilities. We ask all participants to bring with them a small first-aid kit, with the following recommended content: band aid, disinfectant (hydrogen-peroxide, Rivanol solution, Betadine), Magnesium tablets, bandage material.
