Safety
Safety First!
No mather where we run, our first concern is your safety:
- we choose only politicaly stable countries,
- the trail is well examined and well marked,
- if the trail is not safe due to unexpected events (e.g. weather conditions) the stage is canceled,
- there are several fixed checkpoints on the trail where RSO team members will offer you water, snacks and medical first aid,
- there is always medical staff on the team,
- if possible there is one mobile unit between the checkpoints,
- one mobile unit always closes the trail never surpassing the last runner,
- RSO team members are experienced and well prepared for any situation,
- before every stage we will brief you on the characteristics of the stage,
- we provide you with a roadbook.
We demand you act responsibly:
- we demand doctor’s certificate of your phisical fitness for the challenge,
- we will not allow you to run without mandatory equiptment,
- we will not allow you to run the desert barefoot unless you are used to it,
- we demand you respect the locals as well as the local flora and fauna,
- we recommend you come well prepared according to your specific needs and that you test your equiptment before you come (shoes, camelbacks, clothes … ).
