Every rule exists for a reason — to protect the athlete, protect the mountain and preserve the integrity of the race. Know the route. Carry the mandatory gear. Respect the cut-offs. Leave no trace. Help a runner in distress. The mountain will test your preparation, judgement and endurance. The rules make sure everyone faces that test on equal terms.
RACE HARD. RACE FAIR. RESPECT THE MOUNTAIN.
