RULES

The competition will be governed by the regulations of the Spanish Orienteering Federation (FEDO) League and Championship, as well as the rules of the ARWS Europe.

  • Throughout the course, there will be alternating sections with free-order checkpoints and sections with mandatory order checkpoints. As a general rule, no checkpoint will be mandatory, except for specific ones (road crossings, etc.) indicated in the Roadbook.

  • All checkpoints will have a score assigned based on their difficulty and the time it takes to reach them, with the ranking determined by the team that accumulates the most points in the shortest time possible.

  • During transitions, there will be the opportunity to refill water; some transitions will have hot water for teas, coffees, or freeze-dried food, and there will be restroom facilities.
