GARDA TRENTINO TRAIL EXTRA – SUPPLEMENT TO THE REGULATION

Garda Trentino Trail Extra 150, a race with length of 160km and approx. 10.000d+ with start and arrival in Arco (TN).
Garda Trentino Trail Extra 100, a race with length of 100km and approx. 7.000d+ with start and arrival in Arco (TN).
Enrolled athletes will receive a 1st preliminary gps track by December 25th 2025 and the final version will be provided by May 1st 2026 or in the days immediately before departure in case the weather conditions, the route or other necessities not dependent on the organization may require it.

The route will NOT be in any way marked with slings or arrows. Athletes shall use their own device and follow the GPX track provided

Information will be provided about the location of the 3 main aid stations to which personal bags can be sent and all the high-altitude support points that can be opened and offer hospitality to athletes (shelters, bivouacs or other). Athletes, equipped with own gps tracker will be constantly monitored by the race base of Arco for the duration of the event to prevent any change of route, whether voluntary or not.

Athletes must be aware that no logistical support will be provided by the organization outside of the life-base points and that participation in such a challenging race in complete autonomy is under the personal evaluation of their psycho-abilities physical and training. Any impediment along the route can be reported to the race base through the athlete’s mobile phone that will activate all the necessary operations. We point out that, given the length of the track and the possibility to be often “alone” along the track, even if it is impossible to continue, it is of fundamental importance to use the obligatory equipment and find protection in safe places that can serve as a shelter waiting for rescue.

For participation in the Extra distance no specific points obtained in other events are required but an important knowledge of the mountain in all its aspects is necessary, as follows:
- ability to sustain a prolonged effort and in rough terrain possibly even in adverse weather conditions;
- sleep and running management skills at night. Some athletes may stay out 2 nights;
- ability to read GPS instrument and orientation in the mountains even at night and with adverse weather conditions.

“AID STATIONS”

Along the route will be set up 3 main aid stations (EXTRA 150) and 2 main aid stations (EXTRA 100) with a minimum availability of food, liquids, toilets and cots for the eventual rest.
All Aid stations are passages control posts. The runner is obliged to ensure that he has been regularly registered both on entry and exit. Failure to detect the passage determines the disqualification.

EXTRA 150 – the 3 Aid stations are indicated on the final GPX track provided by the organization and will be located at
- Mori (approx km 55)
- Nago-Torbole (approx km 80)
- Ledro(approx 125 km)
EXTRA 100 – the 2 Aid stations are indicated on the final GPX track provided by the organization and will be located at
- Nago-Torbole (approx km 29)
- Ledro (approx km 72)
It is strictly forbidden to sleep in facilities/ shelters/ vehicles outside the points controlled by the organization.

ADDITIONAL REFRESHMENT POINTS

The organization reserves the right to add "essential" refreshments (only food and liquids, no personal bag, no rest points). Info and details will be provided later.

PERSONAL BAGS

At the race-bib distribution 1 bag will be provided to each competitor for the material necessary for the safe management of the race; the bag will be moved along the 3 aid stations by the organization. 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.
The aid stations volunteers are not responsible for the missing bags.
Bags with objects attached externally will not be carried. It is recommended not to put fragile or valuable objects in the bags. The organization does not assume responsibility for items that may be lost or damaged during transport.

WITHDRAWAL POINTS

For Garda Trentino Trail Extra 150, the withdrawal will be possible only at the time gate of loc. “Malga Campo" and in the 3 Aid stations.
For Garda Trentino Trail Extra 100, the withdrawal will be possible only in the 2 Aid stations.
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. The recovery of athletes outside the withdrawal points would inevitably require very long waiting times and objective logistical difficulties at the expense of the athlete himself.

PERSONAL ASSISTENCE POINTS

Assistance to athletes can only be provided:
- In the aid stations

TRACKER GPS

Each runner is provided with a GPS tracker to be placed at the top of the backpack and NOT at the bottom or inside clothing that may affect the transmission of data and returned on arrival at the race control unit area at the arrival. Each runner is provided with a GPS tracker to be attached to the backpack and returned on arrival. A deposit of € 150,00 is required and will not be returned in case of no return of the tracker.
The GPS tracker allows the public to view the progression of the runner on an interactive map.
It is up to the runner to turn on and verify the operation and charging before the start and at the exit from each control point, following the instructions provided by the organization.

ONLINE BRIEFING

A week before the race will be made available to all participants an online briefing in which will be presented the final map of the route, the final track and those with variants for bad weather and in which will be given all the useful information on race management.
It is mandatory to attend the briefing. The modalities of participation will be communicated by email in early May. Not participating in the live briefing or not displaying the registration will NOT allow the athlete to receive the bib and the tracker that will be the “entry pass” to participation in the race.
