Main measures and consequences of COVID-19

Despite the improved health situation, we are maintaining a number of measures. Sometimes as a precaution and sometimes because the relaxations were announced too late to be taken into account. We therefore apply the following principles: • Prevention • Hygiene • Low density of people for departures in particular • Minimisation of contact points • Empowerment and autonomy of athletes This is reflected in the following measures: WAVE DEPARTURE

In order to ensure that the runners are able to keep to the distances in the start area, we have set up wave starts of about 100 runners at intervals of about 5 minutes.

AID STATIONS

The supply of food and drink will be reduced. We therefore strongly encourage you to maximize your autonomy. As a reminder, it is possible to get a personal supply as long as it is near the official supply point. The protocol of behaviour at the aid station is as follows: • Each runner wishing to use the aid station must first wash his/her hands with a hydro-alcoholic solution (HAS) provided. • The runner indicates his choice to the volunteer who puts it in an individual tray. • At the exit, the trays will be thrown away and another

HAS dispenser will be available for the runners. It is everyone's responsibility to maintain the distances and to comply with the now traditional barrier gestures. NOTE: The staff will wear masks and gloves, but these are not compulsory for the runners.

AID STATION AT FINISH AND RUNNER’S MEAL

As everything has been foreseen under the restrictive measures for the use of the catering areas, we are replacing the arrival refreshments and the meal by the delivery of a "Lunch Bag" consisting of : • a cold Poke Bowl type dish, with a carbohydrate component, 2 raw vegetables and a piece of chicken • a fruit • a 5dl still water bottle You will still be able to access the Bretaye 1808 self-service restaurant, but there may be a limit to the number of entries. Please eat your lunch within the social distances in the Ultraks area or elsewhere at your convenience.

MEDALS

As stated in the rules from the beginning, there will be no medal this year.

FINISHER T-SHIRT

Your finisher t-shirt will be given to you WITH the lunch bag before you leave the finish area. The size will correspond to the size indicated at the registration. It will be shown on the bib number. There will be no trying on or exchange.

CHANGING ROOM

Again, as the measurements were taken several weeks ago, we will not be able to offer any changing rooms this year.
