It is necessary to maintain the interpersonal distances foreseen in order to be able to collect the bibs and the race package. The athlete must: hand in the signed self-certification, collect the bag containing the bib and the race pack and leave the race area to avoid creating crowds inside the race area.

The athletes are lined up on the starting grid, adequately spaced.
The starting grid is very wide and is developed in such a way as to allow for adequate spacing.

Athletes can access the race area and the starting area after showing their bib to the organisers. After the start, athletes must continue to wear the mask for the first 500 metres of the race, which will be clearly indicated by the organisation. The mask
The mask must then be placed in a special personal bag and carried during the race, to be worn at refreshments, at checkpoints, after finishing the race or where it is not possible to maintain the prescribed personal distance.
After the start, the athletes on the course are forbidden to use a pacer, to run in slipstream or paired, to pass another competitor on narrow paths that would reduce the interpersonal distance.
