* as we need to sort such things in advance, medal/t-shirt availability for very late entrants cannot be guaranteed.

All sales are FINAL.  Registrations CANNOT be transferred to another individual or deferred to another year under any circumstances.  This means that if you are injured such that you cannot participate, you will forfeit your registration.

As we need to order finisher t-shirts, medals, and similar materials in advance.  Late changes or registrations may make such materials unavailable for you.  There will be no refunds, partial or otherwise, should some item not be available for you.  Register early to avoid disappointment.


Check-in will be on Friday May 8th. This is scheduled to be at the start location at Market square.  Tentative opening hours for check-in are 12 noon through 9pm.  All competitors must check in to receive their race bibs, start packages, and last minute information.

If due to travel arrangements you are not able to check in on Friday, we will provide LIMITED ability to check in on the morning of the race – most likely from around 5:30 am to 6:30 am near the start.  It is VITAL that you contact us ahead of time to make us aware of this.    DO NOT simply assume that you can check-in on raceday morning before the race without telling us in advance.   We want to get as many people checked-in on Friday.

Start packages are issued according to the event schedule. Upon receipt of the start package, the participant must have a completed “Letter of Liability” letter with his own signature and an ID. By signing the “Exemption from Liability”, the participant confirms the agreement with all the clauses of the rules and regulations. A competitor cannot refuse a part of the starting package to reduce its value.
– food and drinks at the checkpoints (except WZT race);
– after-race meal*;
– finisher’s medal;
– finisher shirt (for LTM, VLT races)
– materials from partners and sponsors;
– photos of the runner during the race.

The registration fee includes a finisher’s medal and finisher’s t-shirt. If the participant has not been able to finish the distance within the time limit, or he/she withdraw from the distance, then the finisher’s medal and t-shirt is not given to him.

Please note that the after race meal will be provided by sponsors.  While it may end up being sufficient, we are at the mercy of our sponsors here as to how nourishing it or satisfying it will be.  For best results, please bring money to buy additional food at one of the many restaurants, cafes, or pubs near the finish area.

Please also note that t-shirts and medals are subject to availability.  They will be guaranteed for all paid registration prior to approximately one month before the race.   While we will create extra medals and t-shirts for those who register after this based on our reasonable expectation of sign-ups, if we run out due to extraordinary late demand then we will be unable to offer you a t-shirt and/or medal.  We hope this won’t happen but we leave open the possibility that it might. Please register and pay soon to avoid disappointment.

The participant must be 18 years old at the moment of the race start. The starting number(bib) must be affixed to the outer clothing or backpack in such a way that it can be seen completely and the chip system does not overlap with other items of clothing or equipment.

The participants consent to process their personal data (surname, name, and gender). It can be publicly disclosed in the participants’ lists and in the race protocols, photos and videos with them can be used in media. Participation in any of the races involves the risk of receiving injuries of varying degrees of severity, from the minor ones to those that can lead to partial disability or even death. Aware of this, the participants assume all responsibility for such incidents and undertake, that at the slightest suspicion of the occurrence of such situations, to immediately withdraw from the race.

The decision of the race organizers in case of any dispute will be final.

Participants must follow the route specified by the organizers according to the markigs as provided on the ground on race day. GPS devices may be used as supplemental aids to navigation, but in case of any discrepancy between the GPS and the track ask laid out on the ground, the ground markings will take precedence.

The trails will be clearly marked.   HOWEVER, this is a trail race, not a road marathon.  Markings in a trail race are necessarily not as clear as those as on road marathons. Moreover, they are subject to misinterpretation, vandalism, etc.  While for shorter distances especially the markings should be sufficient, you can help ensure that you won’t get lost by both studying the course in advance (see the ‘races’ page) and by pre-loading the race route onto a GPS device (that works offline).  GPS watches with a moving map are the best. It is harder to use a phone to navigate during the race, but this may be a sufficient backup.

Typical markings will be like this.

Participants, who have decided to withdraw themselves from a course must immediately inform the organizers by the phone via number set during registration and/or by volunteers/race marshals at the checkpoint.  

Participants wishing to withdraw should do so at checkpoints only and should consider themselves withdrawn only after positive confirmation of this from race HQ.

The organizers do not guarantee the delivery of a withdrawing participant to the start/finish area.  We suggest having money available for taxis and other methods.  That said, where possible we will help you and provide transport as well, though we cannot under any circumstances guarantee immediate transport to the start/finish area.

Winners are awarded  non-monetary prices in the overall classification: three men and three women at each of the courses.

The Organizers reserves the right to modify or cancel courses, change racing distances, change the start time due to adverse natural conditions that endanger the safety of participants and other force majeure circumstances, in accordance with legislative and other normative acts of Ukraine. In such cases, the amount of the registration fee and any other expenses incurred by the participants are not compensated. 

Organizers reserve the right to change the current regulations at any time in order to ensure the most effective organization of the competition.
