Entries are made on the Stop & Go platform at stopandgo.net. Fees include VAT at the current rate. Registration opens on 4 August 2026 and closes on 21 November 2026, and entries after that date are not accepted. Changes from one race to another are not accepted on the eve of or on the day of the race, and changes of distance or of runner must be requested before 21 November 2026.

The entry includes individual accident and civil liability insurance, GPS tracks of the routes for optional use, the race bib, food and liquid at the support bases and at the finish, the official event gift and a finisher medal for those who complete their registered distance. The route is marked with ribbon.

No. The routes are mostly trails, paths, unpaved roads and short sections of asphalt on public roads that are not closed for the event, and they cross farms, villages and private access roads. Runners may meet vehicles, people and animals in both directions and must respect the highway code; crossing roads carelessly means disqualification. Gates and barriers must be left as they were found.

Supporters may help at the aid stations as long as they do not obstruct other runners, but they may not take food from the supplies, which are managed only by the organisation. Support vehicles cannot circulate on the course and must stay at the support bases, and no runner may be accompanied by non-accredited people.
