ARTICLE 3 - Fairness Commission

The "equity" commission has full powers to enforce compliance with the rules (penalties, disqualification, etc.).
In the event of proven cheating, the commission may, on the basis of a simple "observation" (without the need to provide proof), disqualify the Race or impose a penalty applicable immediately or by subsequent decision.
The main targets will be uncontrolled refuelling, non-possession of compulsory equipment, incivility or inappropriate behaviour on the part of accompanying persons, but also on any point of the rules.
It is understood that commission members are under no obligation to wear a specific visual.
If a runner or spectator witnesses an explicit and indisputable act of cheating (several witnesses, photo(s), video(s)...), it will be possible to lodge a complaint with the Race management until 2 hours after the arrival of the competitor in the Race in question.

ARTICLE 5 - Safety and medical assistance

First-aid posts (doctors, ambulances, first-aiders) are set up at various points along the course. These are linked by radio or telephone to Race HQ.

The aid stations are designed to provide assistance to any person in danger, using the organization's own resources or those contracted by the organization (depending on the seriousness of the situation, public services may also be called in).

 

It is the responsibility of a runner in difficulty or seriously injured to call for help as follows:

  • by going to a first-aid station
  • by calling PC Race (telephone number on Bib)
  • asking another rider to call for help
  • by presenting themselves to a course marshal, controller or any other member of the organization present on the course
  • if you are unable to contact Race HQ or the controller, you can call the emergency services directly, in the event of a life-threatening emergency only (112 from France).

 

It is the responsibility of each rider to assist any person in danger and to notify the emergency services.

Don't forget that hazards of all kinds, linked to the mountain environment and our Race formats, may require a more or less lengthy rescue time (between 5 and 25 minutes in normal circumstances, and up to 40 minutes in certain cases, according to FFA recommendations). Your safety will therefore depend on the quality of the equipment you have packed in your bag, which is the minimum required.

 

A rider who calls on the services of a doctor or paramedic submits to their authority and agrees to accept their decisions.

 

In particular, first-aiders, official doctors and Race management are authorized to:

  • to disqualify (by invalidating the Bib) any Race "judged" unfit to continue the event
  • evacuate any riders they deem to be in danger by any means at their disposal

 

If necessary, and always in the interests of the rescued person's health, the organization may call on public rescue organizations (mountain rescue). In such cases, the direction of operations and the deployment of appropriate resources, including helicopters, are the responsibility of the public rescue services. Expenses arising from the use of these exceptional means will be borne by the person rescued, who must also ensure his or her return from the point where he or she was evacuated. It is the rider's sole responsibility to set up and submit a file to his personal insurance company within the allotted time.

ARTICLE 6 - Preventive health action

The organization has decided to set up an internal health prevention program. This initiative is neither intended nor competent to replace national and/or international anti-doping regulations in force, but is designed to reinforce the medical surveillance desired by the organization. This action is steered by a Medical Council, made up exclusively of doctors, who can seek advice from experts of their choice, and is responsible for giving an advisory opinion to the Race Jury on the medical condition of participants.

 

Each rider agrees to :

  • Inform the Organization's Medical Council in the event of use of a prescription subject to a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). A procedure is available for this purpose in the health section of the International Trail Running Association (ITRA) website: www.i-tra.org. This information must be provided on the day of registration if a TUE has been requested or obtained previously. Otherwise, it must be done no later than the 8th day following the TUE application, and imperatively before the start of the Race.
  • Accept all urine and/or blood and/or capillary samples and associated analyses requested by the Organization's Medical Council, it being understood that the costs inherent in taking these samples and associated analyses will be borne directly by the Organization.
  • Agree to respond to any summons that the Medical Council may send him/her on the basis of the information he/she has collected, in order to discuss his/her suitability or otherwise to take part in the Race for which he/she has registered. At the end of the interview, the Medical Council may go so far as to propose to the Race Jury that the rider be excluded from competition.

ARTICLE 7 – Maximum time allowed, time barriers, and weigh-ins

Time barriers: 

  • Pour toutes les épreuves, des temps maximums de courses ont été définis. Suivant les conditions de course, ils peuvent varier à tout moment sur décision de l’organisation.
  • Ces barrières horaires sont calculées pour permettre aux participants de rallier l’arrivée dans le temps maximum imposé. Pour être autorisé à poursuivre l’épreuve, les concurrents doivent repartir du poste de contrôle avant l’heure limite fixée (quel que soit l’heure d’arrivée au poste de contrôle).
  • To find out about the time barriers, visit the specific web page for each Race.

 

Rocking chair:

  • Depending on your schedule for passing through the intersection with a switch, you will be redirected to a new, shorter route called "switch."
  • This tipping system allows you to finish with a time penalty.
  • All individuals who took the switch will be reclassified behind those who completed the initial course in its entirety.

 

Spécificité pour le tOur du lac en relais :

  • Si l’un des relayeurs abandonne ou est arrêté par la barrière horaire, le ou les relayeurs suivants ne pourront pas prendre le départ de leur relais.
  • L’équipe sera considérée comme « abandon ».

ARTICLE 8 - Course, rider safety and timetable

À tout moment, l’organisation du Trail du Lac d’Annecy se réserve le droit de modifier le parcours ou les horaires des épreuves inscrites dans cet évènement. L’organisation se réserve également le droit d’annuler une épreuve pour tous motifs qui mettraient la vie du coureur en danger ou tous autre cas de force majeure (aucun remboursement ne pourra être demandé).

L’organisation peut être amenée à modifier le tracé et la distance prévus à l’origine, en privilégiant des portions de route plus nombreuses, ceci afin de permettre aux participants de courir en sécurité quelles que soient les conditions météo et en toute sécurité (en respectant les éventuels arrêtés préfectoraux).
