Reglamento GTTAP2024

Article 1. The Organization

La Asociación Turística y Empresarial del Valle de Benasque y Prames, con el patrocinio de Trangoworld y la asesoría técnica de Peña Guara, son los organizadores del GRAN TRAIL TRANGOWORLD ANETO-POSETS formado por seis recorridos: «Gran Trail Aneto-Posets», «Vuelta al Aneto», «Maratón de las Tucas», «Vuelta a Cerler», «Vuelta al Molino de Cerler», «KV Aneto-Posets» así como las pruebas de «Peque Aneto».

 

Article 2. Support provisioning

  • El «Gran Trail Aneto-Posets», la «Vuelta al Aneto» y la «Maratón de las Tucas» se disputan en semi-autosuficiencia (entendiendo por este término que el número de avituallamientos exige a los corredores cargar con su propia comida y bebida para los tramos entre avituallamientos).
  • There will be liquid and solid supplies at various control points.
  • The Organization will require that each participant transport the food they deem necessary for a semi-self-sufficiency test, with the number of numbers marked on the packaging.
  • The control points that are located in the sheltered shelters of the Aragonese Mountaineering Federation will have showers and bunk beds so that the runners can rest and clean themselves.
  • There will be refreshment service on arrival for all runners.

 

Article 3. Marking, map and Road Book.

  • The itineraries of the tests will be marked by the beacons of the organization and, where appropriate, by the marks of the PR and GR trails; especially the most dangerous areas and crossings and detours where there is a risk of loss will be marked.
  • A map with the itinerary, the mandatory control points of each route, the medical assistance posts and the points of possible return to Benasque will be delivered to all runners.
  • The Road Book will be provided with the most relevant aspects of each section of the routes and the track of each route for GPS on the website.

 

Article 4. Control Points (PC)

Participants, under their responsibility, must pass through the PCs and verify their passage through the timing system corresponding to each control. The PCs will be clearly visible and provided with voluntary staff of the organization. It is mandatory that all runners carry visible el dorsal en la parte delantera al pasar por los PC para que los voluntarios puedan tomar nota del paso de todos los corredores. Todos los PC son obligatorios y el no pasar por ellos implica la descalificación. Los participantes son los responsables de registrar su paso por cada PC bien por el sistema electrónico o bien enseñando y nombrando su dorsal a los voluntarios en función de cada control. Los corredores que se retiren han de avisar a la organización en cualquier punto de control o en la meta de su retirada.

 

Article 5. Security of proof

  • The Organization will place in certain points of the route and in the specialized personal control points responsible for ensuring the safety of the participants. It is mandatory to follow the instructions of this staff, who will be properly identified.
  • In case of abandonment, it must be communicated as soon as possible to the staff of the closest organization.
  • Medical personnel and ambulances will be available at strategic points along the route to intervene if necessary.
  • If the weather conditions advise, there will be an alternative route that will be conveniently communicated at the technical meeting.
  • In case of bad weather conditions or for security reasons, the Organization reserves the right to stop the test, modify the route or vary the time limits.
  • There is also a rescue and evacuation plan if necessary, coordinated by the GREIM mountain services of the Civil Guard.
  • A broom team responsible for closing the race will check the passage of all participants.

 

In any case, PARTICIPANTS MUST KNOW THAT:

 

  • It is a high mountain race, which often runs off-road. They pass through snowfields, fields and rocky areas that may be slippery, in short, very technical areas that slow down the pace of the race, so you have to have a good technique to function in these areas.
  • There may be some section equipped with fixed ropes at the discretion of the Organization.
  • The orography of the terrain, weather conditions or any other circumstance can make an aerial and rapid evacuation impossible and, although there will be checkpoints and specialized personnel distributed along the route, it is possible that the withdrawal or rescue is painful and lasting. One more reason why the broker must have adequate personal material (see list of mandatory material).

 

Article 6. Security regulations

  • At dusk it is mandatory to turn on the front and the position lighting device (a red bicycle position light is used), which must be placed on the back of the backpack to be visible by the participants behind.
  • It is mandatory to follow the indications of the controls and the security forces of the organization (GREIM of the Civil Guard and Firefighters).
  • It is mandatory to help a participant who demands help.
  • The Organization may withdraw a runner from the competition, and take away his race number, when they consider that he has diminished his physical or technical capacities due to fatigue and wear of the test, thus guaranteeing his safety. If the same, once the dorsal is withdrawn, decides to continue, it will be solely under his responsibility and out of all links with the race and its organization.
  • The Organization reserves the right to organize groups to progress together in the race for security reasons.

 

Article 7. Short security hours

  • Time limits will be established to ensure the safety of both participants and members of the test organization.
  • Runners who overcome these time barriers will not be allowed to continue in competition.
  • Los cortes horarios de seguridad se indicarán en la página web y en el Libro de Ruta.

 

Article 8. Leaving and returning to Benasque

  • The Organization will have return points to Benasque in the following controls, always taking into account the difficulties and limitations of the communication infrastructures of the different points: on the one hand, Baños de Benasque, Llanos del Hospital, La Besurta, shelter of Crowns, Cerler and Eriste, which are points from which the return to Benasque does not entail difficulty due to its proximity; and on the other, the Llauset dam and Biadós refuge, from where the return is more complex and time-consuming, because these points are located in distant valleys and with more complicated communications.
  • Participants who leave at any of these points should indicate it to the person in charge of the control and will be taken to Benasque as soon as possible, prioritizing the needs of the transfers.
  • Those who leave must notify the Organization, either at a checkpoint or by contacting the Organization through the telephone number that will appear on the map and the number given to the runners.
  • In case of need of evacuation by accident or injury that prevents the approach on foot to one of the return points, the Organization should be notified by all possible means, contacting a person of control or security assistance to activate the rescue operation. In the case of the runners of the Great Trail Aneto-Posets they must activate the SOS button of the SPOT device that will directly alert the organization indicating the position of the corridor to proceed to its evacuation.

In the case of the Marathon, the material is demanded no longer by the distance of the route, but by the height levels that are crossed and the possible complication in case of terrestrial evacuation. The medium through which it runs and the route make the material mandatory.

All this material must pass a revision by the members of the Organization, which will take place before delivery of the bib.
