At aid stations, you must leave before the stated cut-off.At the finish, the deadline applies to crossing the line.Dates and times are local to mainland Portugal;they are not estimates of the time needed to cover each leg.
Semi-self-sufficiency, cut-offs and withdrawal
- The races are semi-self-sufficient.Each runner must prepare equipment, food and hydration for the sectors and continually assess their condition and ability to proceed.
- The cut-off is checked when leaving the aid station.The runner must leave before the deadline; after the cut-off they may not continue into the sector, even outside the competition.
- The station remains operational to receive the last runner in the sector and is not demobilised merely because the predicted last runner has passed.Closure depends on the applicable cut-off, Race Direction instructions and, where required, confirmation by the responsible official.After the cut-off, the team ensures safe closure.Anyone who does not leave before the deadline is withdrawn and follows collection instructions, without proceeding into the sector, even outside the competition.
- Collection following voluntary withdrawal is provided at officially authorised aid stations while operational and within their cut-off times, under the organisers’ transport plan.Tell the official, confirm that withdrawal is recorded and remain contactable unless unable to do so.Transport is not immediate and the wait may last several hours.
- If you need to return to the previous aid station, do so only if it remains operational and you can return safely.If it is closed or returning is unsafe, contact race command using the SOS numbers on your bib and follow instructions.
- If you voluntarily withdraw outside those stations, you must notify race command using the SOS contacts on your bib.You arrange transport by your own means and at your expense; the organisers do not arrange it or cover its costs.This does not exclude duties of assistance, rescue and evacuation in a medical or safety emergency.Ordinary fatigue alone does not guarantee collection outside aid stations.
- Report injury, illness, suspected medical conditions or danger using the SOS contacts on your bib; in an emergency, call 112.The medical team assesses whether you may continue and may order withdrawal.Evacuation depends on severity, location, accessibility, weather, team safety and available resources; stabilisation and waiting may be necessary.Immediate evacuation is not guaranteed at every location.Follow withdrawal orders and do not force progress or return in unsafe conditions.
- At the Ansiães life base, reserved for UTME 120K, only one supporter is permitted per runner.To enter the life-base area, that person must show the accreditation supplied by the organisers.
- Accreditation only permits entry to the life-base area.It is not a parking permit and does not authorise accompanying the runner on the course or entering other aid stations.
