DOCUMENTS
Present valid proof of identity.Your race bib is personal and serves as accreditation for authorised transport and services.
IMPORTANT
You may collect your race pack after the start while the race office is still open, but this does not entitle you to start late.After the race office closes permanently, race packs cannot be collected or sent out, and electronic tickets cannot be issued or resent.
AID STATIONS AND CUT-OFFS
ESSENTIAL RULE
CUT-OFFS APPLY ON EXIT
OPEN / CLOSE FULL DETAILS ↕
ARRIVING ON TIME IS NOT ENOUGH
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.
IF YOU MISS A CUT-OFF
You must withdraw from the race.Continuing along that section of the course is prohibited, even as a non-competitor.
OPERATIONAL CLOSURE
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responsible official.After the cut-off, the team ensures safe closure.Anyone who does not leave before the deadline is withdrawn and follows collection instructions, without proceeding into the sector, even outside the competition.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow instructions from aid-station and checkpoint staff.
FOOD AND UTENSILSImportant: bring your own reusable cup, container and cutlery.OPEN OR CLOSE DETAILS ↕
FOODThe UTM 60K and TM 40K include a post-race meal of soup, a main dish and a drink at the UTM Village in Amarante.
UTENSILS TO BRING

A cup, a reusable container for soup and the main meal, a spoon and a fork.

The same container can be used for both soup and the main course.

IMPORTANT · The organiser does not provide cups, plates, bowls, food containers or cutlery, including for the post-race meal.

Each runner must bring their own utensils; the organiser will not provide them.

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.

AID STATIONS AND RUNNER PICK-UP

Os postos de abastecimento são os pontos definidos para recolha organizada de atletas.Em caso de emergência, a assistência e o resgate médico podem ocorrer noutros locais, conforme a avaliação das equipas de socorro.Clica em cada ponto para o localizar no mapa oficial.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY · Call 112 immediately.

WITHDRAWING FROM THE RACE
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.
TRANSPORT BACK TO UTM VILLAGE
Return transport is usually arranged after the aid station closes.Waiting times may be several hours.Immediate transport is not guaranteed; the organiser will try to arrange an earlier return where possible.
LEAVING BY YOUR OWN MEANS
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.
MEDICAL EMERGENCY
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.
