SAFETY FIRST

As organizers of the event, we are responsible for you. We are doing our best, but there are things you need to take responsibility for.

What we do for your safety:

• At road crossings, volunteers and police will assist runners to safely cross the road.

• Staff at aid stations will be of help in anything. Don’t hesitate to ask for help whatever issues you may have.

• The race is in June, but the late spring weather might surprise us. We have experienced temperatures as low as 5 degrees Celsius and highs as 30 degrees in the past, so never underestimate those mountains!

• Along the route at night, reflective tapes will help your way.

• During the race an ambulance and an emergency tent at the finish area will provide care if needed.

Even best runners aren’t immune to accidents. Night running, difficult terrain and the long distance make accidents more likely to happen. We cannot emphasize enough, that Salomon Ultra-Trail Hungary is not an ordinary race!

To reduce the risk of accidents, please bear in mind:

• Pilis is not like the city, you cannot just hop on the subway if you have run out of energy....if you feel exhausted, don’t hesitate to take a rest at the next aid station. After a few minute rest and something to eat you can continue more safely.

• Always choose your outfit considering the weather. Change clothes before you get too cold/hot.

• If you realize you haven’t seen marking tapes for several hundred meters, you have probably wandered off path. Turn around and go back to the last route mark.

• Never leave the marked trails!

• Always carry the mandatory gear.

• If you have trekking poles, be careful while using them, especially during the first part of the race when the field is packed.

• Don’t forget, every runner is responsible for providing help to those in need.

What to do if you get into trouble:

Do not hesitate to contact us if you’re in trouble, call the official phone number of the race +36-30-250-10-85 (printed on the bib). Then do follow the received instructions. If you are able to walk, proceed to the agreed place and we will pick you up there. In case you’re injured and cannot walk, put on all your clothes and wait there; we will get to you as soon as possible.
