04External assistance

The race is governed by the principle of semi-self-sufficiency. Personal external assistance is strictly permitted only in designated areas at authorized aid stations, which are for the exclusive use of runners. Authorized assistance points in the CSP®: Borriol, Les Useres, Atzeneta, Culla, Vistabella and Xodos.

05Withdrawal and evacuation

Except in the case of serious injury preventing movement, withdrawal must be formalized at an official aid station by notifying race staff, who will invalidate the bib number. The participant must keep the invalidated bib to use the return transport. If withdrawal occurs between checkpoints, the runner must return to the last checkpoint reached or notify the "sweeper" team.

Transport logistics: During the early hours of Saturday (CSP®), buses will depart to the start from Les Useres (06:30h) and Atzeneta (07:00h). During the day, withdrawn runners are transported to the finish area to facilitate collecting life bags (via connections from Les Useres, Atzeneta and Vistabella; and shuttle bus from Torrosselles and Culla to Atzeneta).

If a participant decides to withdraw at an aid station that is not an official evacuation point (and it is not a medical emergency), it will be the participant's sole responsibility to reach the nearest official withdrawal point by their own means.
