Trail Marking
The trail will be finalized and prepared for the race on the day of the event. In an effort to protect the forests and natural areas where we operate, marking will not be excessive. Therefore, please consult the trail map before the race, pay attention to the existing signs, and follow the instructions of the volunteers. The trail marking will be communicated through the Participant Guide during the week of the event.

E-MTB TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The following technical characteristics apply for E-MTB races:
- The bike must be powered by two sources of energy: human pedaling power and an electric motor that provides assistance only when pedaling.
- Only one battery is allowed for the entire race.
- Assistance without pedaling (walk mode) is allowed up to a maximum speed of 6 km/h.
- Electrically modified bikes that exceed the original technical characteristics determined/implemented by the manufacturer are NOT accepted. Any modifications to the electric bike, software, motor, or battery can lead to exclusion from the race and future events organized in the Riders Club calendar.
- All participants in E-MTB races must undergo a technical check at the AmBike tent in the start area at least 60 minutes before the race starts. Skipping the check will result in disqualification from the race rankings.
- At the end of the race, the average speed recorded over the entire course by E-MTB race participants will be calculated. Participants whose average speed exceeds 27 km/h will be disqualified from the race rankings.
REGISTRATION OF CHILDREN BETWEEN 5 AND 13 YEARS OLD
Each child must have a personal account on the Riders Club platform, created by a parent/guardian, and must register for the event. We recommend that all children be accompanied on the course.
