  •    The athlete will have to complete the course planned by the organization, NOT completing it completely, by choice or for any other reason, or not completing all the obstacles/penalty without external help, will be cause for disqualification.

   Leaving objects or items behind on the course, including sweepings/debris, is grounds for disqualification.

   The equipment worn during the event and the race must be suitable for the event and must not cause any dangerous situation or hinder other participants during the event. If a judge detects a possible danger depending on the equipment, he shall inform the runner to remove the danger. Failure to remove the hazard will result in disqualification.

In the case of a second attempt, the order of the queue must be respected (except for compulsory obstacles, with no limit to the number of attempts). In case of not being able to overcome it the athlete will have to make a penalty marked by the organisation. This penalty will be in accordance with the effort and time taken to overcome the obstacle. Athletes must make a serious attempt to overcome the obstacle. If not, they will be disqualified on the spot.

   The athlete must start the obstacle from the line or the platform or the starting structure of the obstacle duly marked by the organisation. If the organisation deems it appropriate, it will have to visually indicate from which element to start.

   The overcoming of the obstacle will be considered valid when the end of the obstacle marked with a bell, a line to pass, a platform, etc. has been reached. The athlete must be able to see just from the start of the obstacle how far he must go to be able to finish it correctly. In case of using bells as a final element, the athlete will have to ring it only with his hand.

15. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

This national and international event aims to promote and enjoy the sport in the unique setting of the San Ignacio military base and its surroundings. We believe that this project can achieve great prestige and is presented as a unique event never held in Menorca before.

The location of this event and Menorca makes this event a unique experience for the participants. We believe that with only the first edition, it can become a reference event in the Balearic Islands and make the name of Menorca resonate in the field of sport and especially in the field of obstacle courses.

From this point on, once we have programmed the sporting event, we cannot close the event with just a prize-giving ceremony. The experience has to be complete for all participants and friends, which is why we will take advantage of the sunset, with the last rays of sun to close the event with live music, and the culmination with fireworks to close the show and say goodbye until the 2024 edition.
