We explain how the race develops
At the beginning of each stage you can give us a bag with your belongings, what you will need at the end of each of the stages. The organization will transfer these bags to the finish line of each stage, where we will deliver it to you again. Each runner will use a bag of their own, but it will be limited to 10 kg. per participant.
Optionally upon registration, you can hire the return transfer service by bus from the finish line to the starting point. In the registration form you can select the stages in which you want to hire this service, as well as the destination point where you want the bus to return you.
Remember that it is the athlete’s responsibility to reach the starting point of each stage.
To review all the complete schedules, go to the “Schedule” page of the web.
Every day, one hour before each stage start, the bib numbers of the distances of the day will be distributed, and the cloakroom will also be opened. With the approximate arrival of the first classified, the shower, cloakroom and camp areas will open. At the end of the stage, the cloakroom will close and the shower hours will be extended until 7:00 p.m.
In each of the three stages we will have different aid stations to help you complete the stages. These aid stations will be made up of both solid and liquid food, the composition and location of which you can see on the page Aid Stations.
However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take water or isotonic drinks with you as well as food, since only with what you will find in the aid stations is not advisable to face the stage.
For all runners to have a guaranteed level of safety, there will be a series of mandatory items that you must carry with you during the race. This list of elements can be reviewed in the mandatory material section of the Regulation.
The three stages of Top of the Rock will be partially marked with the race personalized beacon tape, however, for eco-responsibility reasons these beacons are only in main points and it must also be taken into account that they can be “withdrawn” or modified by personnel outside the organization, as well as confused with other beacons. For all this, it is mandatory to carry the track of each stage, with a device that allows you to follow the route using the tracks provided by the organization (watch, GPS, mobile App, Google Maps, etc.)
85% of the route runs along approved trails that use the markings painted in different colors, so we also recommend reviewing and studying the roadbook that will be made available to runners weeks before the race.
#TOTR is a race in semi-self-sufficiency format, that is, the participant has to carry the material detailed in the point “Mandatory Material”. The rest of the “luggage” will be delivered to the organization at the start of each stage in the cloakroom area, and returned to the participant at the end of it.
Semi-self-sufficiency also implies that the refreshment stations are “support” points, but if you need to consume a certain meal during the race, you must take it with you from the start. Finally, semi-self-sufficiency also implies being partially self-sufficient in terms of follow the route, that is, the organization will have beacons to mark the route, but in case these are adulterated or eliminated by external agents, the participant must be able to guide himself, either through the GPS track or the roadbook.
Abandons must be made at official checkpoints. If due to an accident or injury, the runner is immobilized and cannot reach a control point, he must be helped by another runner, who will be the one to sound the alarm to the organization, which will activate the mandatory protocol. If you decide to abandon in one stage, you will have the possibility to continue in the stages of the following days if you are fully empowered, although this will imply not being considered a “Finisher”.
For those runners who wish to abandon, there will be a shuttle bus to return them to the start. At this point, your bib number will be removed and from that moment on your condition will be “out of the race” and therefore will no longer be covered by the regulations or insurance of the race.
All participants must carry the following mandatory materials:
This MANDATORY SAFETY MATERIAL must be carried by the runner at all times, from the Start to the Finish of each stage, not being able to get rid of it during the course of the race for any reason.
The start of the first stage takes place at the “Chencho” sports facilities in Castellón (you can find its exact location in the section Schedule). We have chosen these facilities mainly because of their proximity to the mountains of Castellón, being able to start the first path before the first kilometer of the route. Also for its ample parking, and facilities equipped with toilets and changing rooms, which will allow you to change and wash before leaving.
For Thursday night no accommodation has been agreed, since in Castellón there is a lot of offer, we let you choose the option that best suits you, but you can ask us questions about location, prices, etc. Contact us by clicking here.
