Risk and Safety

Participants are not insured by the organiser. By taking part, competitors accept the hazards associated with the event and participate at their own risk. Each participant is responsible for their own safety.

Event officials do not accept liability for injury, accident, loss, or damage to competitors or their property that may arise before, during, or after the event as a consequence of participation.

Please note that there will be no road closures during the event and that streets with traffic may need to be crossed.

Minimum Age

For safety reasons, the minimum age for competition classes is 10 years. Younger athletes may only participate when accompanied by a person aged 18 or older in the Newcomers, Team Challenge, or Open class.

For the Kids class, we will try to avoid road crossings. However, we ask parents and guardians to instruct their children about possible hazards before the start of each event.

Entries and Payment

Entries and payment are handled through the online entry platform OL-Sport Alpha ( booking terms ).

The entry fee applies to the VOC 3 Days competition. Open Training is free of charge. The Sprint Relay must be booked separately.

One-day and two-day entries are possible in all classes except Elite. Individual stage starts cannot be transferred to another competitor.

Entries after the deadline and entries at the event centre are only possible if the participant limit has not been reached and subject to the organiser’s possibilities.

Entry fees increase by €5 at each entry deadline. Last-minute entries cost an additional €10. Sprint Relay entries are possible until the day before the relay at the same price.

Amendments

Amendments affecting the entered class or name may be made free of charge until the final entry deadline. It is possible to transfer an entry to another person until 29 August 2026.

Other amendments that do not affect the entry fee or class are free of charge at all times.

To request an amendment, please email [email protected].

Withdrawal

After registration, withdrawal from the event is not possible in accordance with § 18 (1) 10 FAGG, the Austrian Act on Distance Contracts and Off-Premises Contracts. There is no right of withdrawal for leisure activities and events.

If a registered person does not take part in the competition for reasons for which the organiser is not responsible, or due to neutral reasons, or if the person informs the organiser in advance that they will not participate, the registered person is not entitled to a refund of the entry fee.

Each participant is solely responsible for having suitable insurance if they wish to claim a refund from their insurance provider.

Rules

The event follows the IOF competition rules and VOC special rules, which will be announced in the final details.

Fair Play

We reserve the right to disqualify runners in case of violations of fair play.

There will be no quarantine areas, and maps will not be collected after finishing. To ensure fair competition, we expect runners not to share information with runners starting later. We believe this makes for a better challenge.
