Abandonment, DNF or disqualification

If you are unable to run all the stages you intended to run, or cannot complete a stage, we will try to pick you up from a railway station near the stage finish. For stages you registered for but are unable to run, we will try to provide shuttle transport from the stage locations to the nearest railway station. The cost of public transport tickets required when abandoning a stage or skipping stages is not included in the contribution towards expenses and must be paid by the individual concerned.

If you have an emergency and do not have time to contact us first, the emergency number is 144 in Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein, and 112 in Germany and France.
In cases of grossly negligent behaviour, breaches of environmental protection rules (noise pollution; illegal waste disposal), failure to fulfil the obligation to help one another or attempted fraud, we reserve the right not to count individual daily stages. In discussion with the person concerned, we will consider whether continuing the stage race is possible and desirable.
There is no refund of the contribution towards expenses in the event of a DNF or disqualification, not even a partial refund.
