OLAGUIBEL STREET AND PLAZA DE LOS FUEROS
* LITTERING OUTSIDE THE ASSIGNED AREAS WILL LEAD TO A PENALTY

The opening of the race will be signalled by an official vehicle equipped with a sign indicating “Start of race”. The closing of the race will be signalled by an official vehicle equipped with an “End of race” sign or “Sweep car” which will be in charge of picking up the triathletes who drop out of the race.

Between the opening and closing vehicle, the following vehicles will circulate:

• MOTORCYCLES of the organisation, accompanying the race judges. They will be identified with the Organisation’s badges.
• CAR AND/OR NEUTRAL VAN circulating in the middle of the race to pick up triathletes who have dropped out.

The cycling circuit will be closed to traffic in the direction of the race. In the sections where there is oncoming traffic, participants must respect the Highway Code, and under no circumstances may they invade the opposite direction. Participants must heed and respect the indications of the Ertzaintza, Miñones, Local Police, identified members of the organisation and Federation judges.

Any emergency vehicle that needs to use the cycling and running route to circulate to an urgent incident, must do so by indicating its position by means of light and sound signals. In all cases the vehicle will have preference over the triathletes, who must give way to the vehicle. The organisation will ensure the safety of the race at all times, but cannot be held responsible for any mishaps that may arise during the race.

Turn offs/ crossings will be staffed by personnel, who will be fully identified with high visibility waistcoats, yellow flags and in constant contact with those in charge by mobile phone or radio.

The registration fee INCLUDES TRIATHLETE TRANSPORT from T2, located at the universities, to the Garaio park, as well as BICYCLE TRANSPORT on the day of the race.

In case of NOT NEEDING this service, the triathlete must communicate this by email to info@vihalfgasteiz.com before 22nd May 2023. If he/she does not communicate this and does not end up using this service, a penalty of 20€ will be applied.

Those registered by 20 July will be entitled to a free bus seat for 1 companion to Garaio Park on the day of the race as well as a companion’s guide. For management and environmental reasons, parking in the Garaio Park will be LIMITED TO 250 SPACES.

As soon as these spaces are filled, access to the park will be closed to vehicle traffic from the A-3012 entrance. This access will be regulated by members of the organisation, as well as by the relevant authorities.

Access to the park will be CLOSED from 12:00 noon until the last triathlete leaves the park at approximately 14:00.

* The timetables and the transport of bicycles to the Garaio park are still to be determined, as well as the transfer and price of the accompanying persons, and will be communicated at a later date.
