In these cases, the organiser is under no obligation to compensate the participants. All participants agree that the safety of the participants, the service-providers and the organiser’s staff are of paramount importance.

By registering, you acknowledge these Regulations and give your assurance that you read the individual provisions in full and understood them. You will confirm this by adding your signature under the declaration of liability.

The Organiser reserves the right to make changes to the Regulations. The latest version can be viewed at any time on this website.

Updated: 01.12.2022

The Race rules for the 60K INDIVIDUAL, the 45K INDIVIDUAL 30K INDIVIDUAL and the 15K RUN you can find here.

adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS in Gastein/ SalzburgerLand consists of 7 different distances, of which three are offered as a Team Race (Loop S, M, L) and four as Individual Race (60K, 45K, 30K, 15K).

 

ROUTE MARKINGS

The routes of adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS in Gastein/ SalzburgerLand will be marked for the competition, and volunteers will be deployed at critical locations. Because of the situations that can arise in open country and with changing weather conditions, it is not possible to guarantee that there will be no gaps in the route markings.

It is the athletes’ responsibility to keep themselves informed at all times about the correct routes and about how to use these routes in accordance with the rules. The Organiser will provide additional map and GPS material for this purpose.

If a competitor leaves the route indicated, this will lead to the immediate disqualification of the entire relay team.

If a competitor misses the routing or leaves the competition route, leading to disqualification, the Organiser accepts no responsibility for this.

 

ALTERNATIVE ROUTES

Depending on weather and other conditions, the Organiser reserves the right to change the route accordingly on safety grounds and to switch to alternative routes. These steps may alter the stated horizontal distances, elevation change and difficulty levels of the route.

 

AID STATIONS

Each route will have a sufficient number of refreshment points.

A wide range of food and drink will be available for competitors at every refreshment point. The exact locations of aid stations will be provided on the route map. The competitor must ensure that he/she always takes enough food and drink with him/her to reach the next refreshment point safely.

The aid stations are the only places where competitors may dispose of waste. Disposing of waste on the route (littering) is a breach of National Park Regulations and will be reported to the authorities, as well as resulting in the immediate disqualification of the offender’s entire relay team. Littering will be monitored by race marshals.

 

TIME LIMITS, FINISH CLOSING TIME

Relay teams and solo runners who have failed to pass the checkpoints by the specified cut-off times will be removed from the race on safety grounds by the Organiser.

Cut-off times:
4:30 pm – Aid Station Böckstein
5:30 pm – Obere Zittrauer Alm
6:00 pm – Aid Station Stubnerkogel

The finish will close at 8:00 pm at the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS Arena/ Alpen Arena in Bad Hofgastein.

 

This schedule and the respective time limits are stated in detail in the Trail Book and the Race Briefing. On safety grounds, the Organiser reserves the right to adjust the schedule and the cut-off times at short notice.

Cut-off times are non-negotiable and serve to keep competitors safe! If a competitor continues to run in breach of the route staff’s instructions, he/she does so at his/her own risk and will be immediately disqualified, along with his/her entire team. In this case, the competitor will no longer have any right to further adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS services (refreshments, safeguarding for the route, etc.). After the cut-off times and at the end of the race, the race staff will comb and clear the route. Athletes who are found by the sweep team must stop racing immediately and will be led off the route for their own safety. The competition staff’s instructions also serve to keep competitors safe in this case and are non-negotiable.

 

CONDUCT ON THE ROUTE

The competitors undertake to follow all the rules and requirements arising from the provisions of these Regulations and their annexes, as well as all guidelines and instructions of the Race Committee, the route marshals and the first aid and rescue services (mountain rescue service, Race Doctor, etc.).

In particular, the following rules must be followed:

  • All competitors must follow the route markings.

ASSISTANCE FROM THIRD PARTIES

No competitor may use the assistance of third parties (spectators, supervisors or other competitors) during the race, unless they fall, are injured or are involved in other emergency situations. The only exceptions are the provision of food, drink and replacement gear (special needs) directly at aid stations (i.e. within the range of vision, 50m before and behind). These aid stations are marked in the Call for Entrants and on the route map. It is clearly forbidden to drop off or pick up any mandatory equipment during the race.

If a competitor uses the services of third parties (e.g. recovery, first aid and rescue services), he/she must bear the costs arising from this.

By registering, the competitor authorises the Organiser to collect payment for the costs that arise for these services if such services are required by the Organiser, in order to keep the competitor safe.

When he/she registers, the competitor may take out an insurance policy for the weekend of the Event in order to be covered in the event of emergencies.

 

TIME PENALTIES AND DISQUALIFICATION

The Organiser reserves the right to disqualify competitors or impose time penalties on them if they break the competition rules, are guilty of grossly unsportsmanlike behaviour or gross misconduct towards helpers or third parties, and/or commit breaches of the laws of the State of Salzburg and of High Tauern National Park.

If a competitor is disqualified, the Organiser will not reimburse any of his/her costs, and all claims against the Organiser will cease to be valid as of the time of disqualification.

 

The adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS in Gastein / SalzburgerLand are an outdoor running event in which competitors will be entirely on their own, i.e. will be travelling autonomously, for long stretches of the route. Competitors’ autonomy involves the ability of each competitor, despite the marked route, the provision of some degree of safeguarding for the route by various services (Medical Crew, mountain rescue, etc.) and the Organiser’s individual refreshment points, to find his/her own way round the route, to make his/her own decisions regarding all objective mountain hazards (darkness, rain, storms, fog, snowfall, ice, risk of falling, etc.) and his/her subjective capacities during the competition, and to feed him/herself and give him/herself drinks between the Organiser’s refreshment points. Even darkness (during night hours), difficult weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain or snowfall), adverse route conditions (e.g. wet or soft ground) and changes in the competitor’s capacities (e.g. tiredness or injury) do not relieve the competitor of this autonomy.

 

Every competitor will receive final information about the competition in his/her start documents. Even before this, every competitor is obliged to obtain the necessary information about the race via the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS website (www.infinite-trails.com).

An extensive adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS race briefing can also be hosted Online. Participation in the race briefings is mandatory for all starters and will serve to ensure that they compete safely and successfully in adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS.

Competitors who prematurely end their involvement in adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS must contact the Organiser to deregister without delay.

If a competitor drops out and does not deregister, he/she will bear the costs of any search carried out by the first aid and rescue staff.

 

Each competitor must have his/her own personal insurance cover for accidents and other damages. The Organiser accepts no liability for first aid and rescue costs in the event of an accident.

If it is necessary to do so in the interests of an accident victim, the official mountain rescue service will be alerted. From that point on, the latter will take charge of the rescue operation using the necessary resources, including helicopters. The person rescued must cover the costs that arise, and must also arrange their own return from the place of evacuation. The competitor him/herself is responsible for notifying his/her insurer of the incident in a timely manner and in accordance with the regulations.

If the Organiser needs to cover the costs of a rescue operation directly, the competitor or his/her insurer must reimburse the Organiser for these costs.

Every competitor is strongly advised to take out a (travel) health insurance policy which covers helicopter deployment and return transport.

You may book an additional accident insurance for the competition during the registration.
Paid entry fees cannot be refunded, though we recommend an additional ticket insurance, which will reimburse your entry fees if you are unable to take part in the race for health reasons).

Sustainability is an integral part of the Event concept for the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS in Gastein/ SalzburgerLand.

Because the race route passes through High Tauern National Park, competitors’ treatment of the environment will be rigorously monitored. If a competitor disposes of waste outside the checkpoints or refreshment points, or causes any intentional harm to nature, he/she and his/her entire relay team will be disqualified.
