Registration for T201 & T141 open until 30 June

Because of the several changes on the track which we communicate just within the last days, we decided to extend the registration for the T201 & T141 until 30 June.

Trekking poles

With the last changes at the T201 track, the use of mandatory trekking poles between km 27-32 is abrogated.

Safety first!

Within the authorizations process as well as regarding the safety concept, some changes at the track had to be done.
The actual maps, profiles, timetable, GPS and KML Tracks are now ready to download.

Route marking

Together with Alpin Runners Chur we worked out a new route marking concept. Different materials have been tested at night with wind and heavy rain. As a result of these tests we decided to mark the trails with the following materials:

- road crosses with a noticeable coloured flutter-band with reflector
- flags and flutter-band along the whole track
- ever 5k a kilometre board
- within villages with biodegradable chalk-spray and signposts

Use of a GPS tracker system for monitoring the race confirmed

With Tracker.com we found a competent partner for the GPS-Tracking during the race.
The chosen system has been proved already at several sport events such as “The Wayve” and “Swiss Olympic Gigathlon”.
