The adidas INFINITE TRAILS in Gastein / SalzburgerLand require specific items of equipment that competitors must wear or have with them. This mandatory equipment consists of a “basic mandatory equipment” and a “weather-related mandatory equipment”, depending on the weather conditions. All competitors must have the mandatory equipment which is announced during the race briefing with them throughout the competition. It is NOT permitted to drop off or pick up any mandatory equipment on course or at special needs zones.

Participants must present their equipment at the registration. In addition the Organiser will carry out checks, on a random basis, before the start and at the finish to ensure that competitors are carrying/wearing the required equipment/clothing during the competition. Any competitor who fails to carry/wear the required equipment/clothing will be disqualified.

If a competitor is carrying poles at the start, he/she must not put them down during the race, but must carry them until he/she has completed the loop. Conversely, it is not permitted to start without poles and pick them up at any point of the route.

Werden beim Start Stöcke mitgeführt, dürfen diese nicht während des Rennens abgelegt werden, sondern müssen bis zum Abschluss des Loops transportiert werden. Im Gegenzug ist es nicht gestattet ohne Stöcke zu starten und diese auf der Strecke aufzunehmen.
