Race Rules
1. Respect the environment, respect others, and respect yourself
Leave no trace of your passage. Respect other vehicles. Don’t take useless risks by overcoming your limits.
The Race Direction takes this rule seriously; if we have any evidence of Participants not complying with these principles, we will immediately impose disqualifications.
3. Self-support principles
The Nordic Chase follows the classic principles of ultra-cycling events. But participants are allowed to draft each other. This will encourage a social experience.
Participants are not allowed to assist or resupply each other and must not receive any 3rd party assistance.
The race direction approaches those principles with common sense and an open mind but still can impose penalties or disqualifications before, during and after the event.
4. Safety and local laws
Riders must sign and agree with the rider agreement and be older than 18.
Riders are fully responsible for knowing, observing, and complying with local laws.
In case of road interruptions or closures, Riders are responsible for finding a way to turn around the interruption and join the official route again.
Observance of local laws has priority over following the route track.
5. Tracking
Riders should follow the official track from start to finish. If they temporarily leave the route they must return to the point they left. The tracker file will validate each ride.
Riders are responsible for their tracking device. If a device is switched OFF or dies because of low batteries the participant will be considered withdrawn.
6. Insurance and Responsibility
The Race Direction will not provide insurance, emergency rescue or marshall. The Race Direction will not be responsible for any direct or indirect damage that may occur to you or other parties.
Riders must have liability, death, accident, and health insurance covering emergency extraction and repatriation valid for the whole duration of the event. We will ask for a copy of your insurance before the event.
7. Code of Honor
A fair and safe race depends on the integrity and sportsmanship of its participants
