Upon acceptance of the cancellation, a certificate will be issued that can be used to register the following year. No cancellation requests are permitted after the registration deadline.

There are no refunds for cancellations, no shows, or late arrivals, including if the race is cancelled due to extreme weather or other safety reasons.

On the day before the race during the pre-race meetings when electronic timing chips are distributed, runners registered for the 37K may request to change to the 15K distance. Changes are not permitted from the 15K to the 37K distance.

Picking up race packets at the pre-race meetings requires presenting an official photo identification in person. Each packet contains a unique race number and an electronic timing chip, which runners are required to wear during the race. Due to insurance and civil protection regulations, numbers and chips are not transferable. Participants who swap or sell their race numbers or timing chips will be disqualified from the race, as well as all future races.

The following cut-off times are required to ensure an organized and safe event for everyone. Please refer to the altimetry charts to see the checkpoint locations. No exceptions to the following cut-off times are permitted. Runners, and their entire teams, who do not follow staff instructions will be disqualified immediately, and be banned from future races.

All runners participate at their own risk, aware that they are traveling through remote trails of the Sierra Cacachilas, in a physical test of endurance. We will have the support of mules for remote evacuations as well as trained and certified personnel in First Aid in Remote Areas (WFR) at each checkpoint and we will have ambulances at the finish line as well as a contingency plan. In the mountains where the race takes place there are animals that can represent an important risk to health such as rattlesnakes and spiders, we recommend to always keep your eyes on the trail to minimize risks, check the environment when stopping to rest and do not touch or cut branches as some plants can be irritating and / or harmful to the eyes (arrow grass / Sebastiania bilocularis). Most of the trails are rough roads with different paths where it can be easy to get lost if you do not pay attention to the road markings.
