Especially in long-distance running, an important factor that affects performance as much as training is the choice of materials and knowing how to use and maintain them. Age, training level and the choice of equipment specific to the track to be run have a serious impact on performance. While the right materials will provide a comfortable racing environment, they will also allow you to complete the course in a healthy way in harsh natural conditions. In extreme sports, life safety is a prerequisite for competition. If necessary, you must be able to take care of yourself in the field until help arrives. Especially mandatory materials are essential for life safety. Therefore, the lack of mandatory materials requires penalties. The penalties you will receive if required materials are missing are explained in the rules section.
