It is also possible to leave an additional bag (bag at charge of the athlete) at the deposit bags in Arco on Friday before the race start.
The competitor is obliged to personally collect the bag at the entrance of the aid stations and return it personally at the exit to the volunteers of the withdrawal bags.
In case of withdrawal of the runner the bag will be brought on arrival in Arco, where it can be picked up on presentation of the bib. It is not possible to ensure that, in case of withdrawal or arrival of the competitor, the runner’s bags is already available in Arco.

Outside these points, assistance can only be provided in situations of health demand. It further underlines the need to make a thorough assessment of their abilities (even during the race itself), which will reasonably allow the athlete to reach independently the next point of withdrawal.
