Ultra Race Romania 2024

ART 1: About Ultra Race Romania

1.1 Ultra Race Romania is organized by Legendary Sports and it’s part of  a unique category of rough footraces. The race takes place over seven days / six stages  covering some 250 kilometers / 155 miles in a remote and culturally rich location in Romania.

1.2 The race gives participants the opportunity to test their endurance and also meet fellow competitors from around the world.

1.3 In consideration for the payment of the entry fee, Ultra Race Romania, short named further URR allows you to enter the Race subject to the Terms and Conditions of these Rules and Regulations.

1.4 Anyone between the age of 18 and 70 years can compete in URR

1.5 The concept of URR is that competitors leave the starting line and run / walk, by following course markers, through a number of checkpoints to the finishing line of each stage as quickly as they can. Competitors must provide and carry on their own food, gear and clothing as stated in the Mandatory Equipment List, and will be provided with a ration of water and a place in a tent at night. Competitors are supported by professional medical and operations teams. Otherwise, no outside assistance is permitted. Competitors can finish at any time before the cut-off time. If any competitor does not finish before the cut-off time then that competitor cannot receive a Finisher’s medal. He/she can continue the remaining stage(s) but will not appear in the final rankings. The competitors who from whatever reasons decide not to run, can stay in camps and provide help as volunteers for the remaining duration of the race. However, if they decide to leave the race, then the Organizers transfer them to the host town of Buzau, where they are solely responsible for finding (paying) for accommodation or even change plane tickets should they want heading home.

8.1 The Race Organizers reserve the right to add, modify, cancel or change the course at any time.

8.2 While competing in the Race, you must stay on the marked course. If you inadvertently leave the marked course, you must re-enter the course at the exact place where you left it. If you intentionally cut or leave the marked you may be disqualified or be given a time penalty.

8.3 If you leave a logical or obvious course or direction between course markings, you will be deemed to have intentionally left the marked course. Where two course markers are visible, you must go to the closest marker. If a logical or obvious route is evident and both visible markers are distant marks (i.e., one that is evidently not the next mark in sequence) you must proceed on the logical route. Unless directed to do so by a course marking, cutting switchbacks on paved or dirt courses is considered intentional course cutting.

8.4 The course may be changed by the Race Organizers for any reason including, but not limited to, weather, safety hazards or darkness and we may, at our absolute discretion, adjust stage finish times to reflect any course changes.

8.5 Staggered starts may be issued for any stage of a Race. You will be notified of staggered starts before the beginning of the relevant stage of a Race. Any request to begin a stage of a Race at a start time other than the one assigned to you must be approved by the Event Director or the Medical Director.

8.7 The course will be marked by signs, arrows, ribbons, chalk, paint, lights, flags and other devices.

8.8 The course will be marked with devices at intervals of between 25 and 100 meters depending on terrain and visibility. If you do not see a marker for 100 meters and you are not on the obvious or logical course, you must immediately return to the last known marker to find the correct course.

8.9 Two or more course markers placed together indicate an abrupt change in course direction. Multiple markings will be placed so that they can easily be seen while following the intended course. Markings will be placed between foot and head height, and may be placed on the ground, trees, bushes, walls, buildings or other stationary objects.

8.10 The course will be marked by lights and other illuminated marking devices at night. You are required to carry a light that is sufficient to find unlit markers in the event that lights and other illuminating devices are covered, fail or go missing.

8.11 Course markings will generally be visible under normal lighting conditions. Abnormal conditions may include sand, dust, mist, fog, smoke, rain, snow or any other condition that reduces visibility (other than darkness). If abnormal lighting conditions occur, a stage of a Race may be modified, delayed or cancelled until normal visibility conditions return.

8.12 The Race Organizers will make every effort to keep the course markers in place for the duration of a stage of a Race. However, it is possible that markers may be taken, buried, blown over, covered, destroyed or otherwise rendered difficult or impossible to find. It is your responsibility to pay attention to the makings and to make intelligent decisions when following the course, or to remain where you are in a safe location at the last course marker you saw.

The individual must then proceed from the first missed checkpoint back through all checkpoints as per the mandatory sequence (even if the individual has passed through that checkpoint before).

8.18 You must not spend more than 15 minutes at a checkpoint unless approval is given by a member of the medical staff.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

How long your personal information will be kept

We will hold on to your information for three years after you close your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only. After this time it will be deleted.

If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.

CONTROL OVER YOUR INFORMATION

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have several important rights available to you for free. In summary, those include rights to:

• Be informed about how your personal information is being used (hopefully this privacy policy explains it all)
• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request that we transfer elements of your data to another service provider
• Request us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold
• Request the erasure of personal information concerning you in certain situations
• Receive the personal information concerning you which you have provided to us, in a structured format
• Stop any direct marketing
• Object to processing of your personal data

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please write to us at privacy@ultraraceromania.ro

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made many requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
