REGULATION

REGULATION FOR BOTH RACES

The competition is open to participants of any nationality, whether or not they have a federative triathlon license, and are over 20 years old. NW Triman has a civil liability insurance. Non-federated participants will be provided with a one-day license for € 12 that should be taken out on registering.

Foreign runners must pay the one-day license insurance (12 €) at the time of registration; this amount will be refunded once they send us a mail to [email protected] before June 1, with a certificate from their Federation expressly certifying that their license covers possible accidents (liabilities and issues) in the race on June 25, 2023.

Both races are under the FETRI regulations; more information in this link Regulations competition 2021

PARTIAL AND TOTAL CUT-OFF TIMES 2023

In the long distance race of the NWT we have certain limitations when it comes to placing the cut-off times, (maximum number of hours for road closure authorization, village streets etc.). But the most important issue is the federative regulations about outside temperature, not the water temperature. Statistically the departure cannot be before 8:45 and the maximum time to perform the LD race is 14:30 hours (at that time, it is already dark and there are unlit areas in the circuit, so it would be reckless to be still racing). Also as athletes we believe that if you think you cannot pass those cuts it is better for you to register in the HD. It is a demanding test and with more training and experience you could surely get it in another edition. We also have 2 additional cuts in order to open up the traffic. In Half Distance there are no cut-off times.

-Swimming time: first lap 1:05 minutes and 2 hours total time.

-Swimming cut off time +3 cycling laps: 7 hours.

-Swimming + cycling cut off time: 8 hours and 45 minutes.

-Swimming time + cycling + 3 laps run cut off time: 13 hours.

Total time: 14:30 minutes.

OVERALL RULES

At the time of payment of the race, when registering, each athlete acknowledges, under his/her responsibility that he/she meets and has the physical and mental conditions and the necessary technical skills to face the competition successfully and finish each segment within the cut off times set by the organizers. Possession of the federative license neither assures nor covers this responsibility. Likewise, triathletes should also:

1. Be responsible for their own safety and the safety of other competitors.
2. Know and respect the competition rules.
3. Know the courses and circuits.
4. The participant who quits the competition is obliged to remove his/her bib and inform the referees and officials of the race.
5. Obey the instructions of the officials.
6. Respect traffic rules at all times.
7. Treat other athletes, officials, volunteers and spectators with respect and courtesy.
8. Respect the environmental areas in which the competition is held. It is strictly forbidden to throw garbage along the circuit. This fact may be grounds of disqualification.
9. If the event does not take place due to Covid, another date will be proposed. Participants also have the option to have their registration fee refunded, if they wish, as we did in previous editions.

In the event of meteorological causes or major causes that imply the modification of part or all of any section of the test, the organization will propose an alternative test on another distance and other routes depending on the circumstances (duathlon, aquathlon, foot race, etc), but in no case will the event be postponed to another date and the registration fee will not be refunded.

In the event of weather conditions or other major causes that imply the modification of part or all of some section of the race, the organizers will propose an alternative race with another distance and other routes depending on the circumstances (duathlon, aquathlon, run race, etc.), but in no case will the event be postponed to another date and the amount of the registration will not be refunded. In the case of a change in the date of the event, for reasons beyond the control of the organization, such as natural disasters, elections, works in the circuit, etc., the organization will propose a new date. In no case will the registration fee be refunded nor will any other expenses incurred by the participants be covered.

In addition, he/she must use, without modification, all the bibs and identification elements provided by the organization. Bibs are forbidden in the swimming segment (even placed inside the wetsuit), they shall be compulsorily positioned, so that they are perfectly visible during the bike and run course.

The two straps of the garment covering the trunk shall be correctly positioned over both shoulders.

TIMING AND RESULTS

Timing will be done with Emesports devices. All participants will be given a chip with an anklet along with their bib number. You must return it at the end (Both the chip and the anklet, in case of loss €12 will be paid before removing the bike and the material).
The chip will be mandatory throughout the test.

ACCESS AND USE OF THE TRANSITION AREA

All participants must be properly identified to take part in the competition. This identification will be made, when required by the organizer, the technical delegate or the referees and officials, by means of the valid federal license or ID card. Each participant may use only the space marked with their bib number, as well as its access and exit corridors. The individual space may not be marked with elements that help to be identified (ribbons or chalk on the floor, balloons, towels, etc.). It is forbidden to cycle in the transition areas. All participants must circulate through the transition areas according to the established traffic by the organizer. Shortening the route through the transition area (crossing under the supports, jumping over the areas reserved for each participant, etc.) is not permitted and will be penalized with a yellow card.
