Support Team

Only the SUPPORT TEAM can bring some external help, with the rules under here. 

 

RUN COURSE – Support Team*

– Every athlete must have a support team for the last 7,5 km of the race, starting from T3 – Passo del Tonale check-point, up to the finish line at Passo Paradiso
– The athlete must provide the name, surname and telephone number of his supporter during registration.
– The supporter must be available by telephone from 5:00 a.m. on Saturday until the end of the race and must communicate the possible withdrawal of the athlete to the telephone number indicated by the organization.
– We suggest that the supporter run with the athlete from the second passing in Ponte di Legno (km 20).
– It is allowed to be accompanied during the whole run course.
– The supporter can carry all the equipment of the athlete in his backpack.
– Both the atlete and the supporter must carry the mandatory equipment (see the section Mandatory equipement)

 *Please note that it is mandatory for the athlete to have a supporter accompany him for the last 7,5 km of the run route.
In this regard, in the event that the athlete does not have a companion, it is possible to request access to the Facebook group Stone Brixia Man where to communicate one’s need by requesting the availability of a supporter among the members of the group. Link to the FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/stonebrixiamanxtri
In any case, the organization DOES NOT ENSURE to find a supporter, but undertakes to help the athlete in solving the problem.
The supporter is required to support only the last 8 km of the RUN fraction. If you need a supporter for a longer stretch of the route, or even for the bike part, the athlete will have to contact the supporter directly to make a private agreement.
The organization cannot in any case help in the search for a supporter in the days immediately preceding the event (from June 18th, 2024) for obvious organizational reasons.
Finally, it should be emphasized that the economic agreements relating to room and board of one’s supporter (if necessary) are considered to be completely at the athlete’s expense.

Supporters accompanying the athletes during the RUN leg must also be in possession of a competitive medical certificate for any sport. It will be possible to attach the supporter’s certificate during registration or send it by email to info@trioevents.it

– if the supporter runs only the last 7km of RUN, a non-competitive medical certificate is sufficient
– If the supporter accompanies the athlete for a longer stretch starting from Ponte di Legno, a competitive certificate is required.
Foreign supporters who are not registered abroad must also have a medical certificate, presenting only the medical certificate model for foreigners that can be downloaded HERE, attaching it to the registration or and sending it to the organization at the email address info@trioevents.it
