In case you have no supporting team, following you with a support-vehicle, get in touch with us (info@ibex.vc) in order organize your transport up to the Jurisdiction of Hospental on July the 1th, 2023. In accordance to past experiences, it is advisable to have a support-vehicle you should be able to call in case you need it.

The support vehicle is allowed to provide you with medical assistance at any time, but with food and beverage only once for each stretch (S1, S2 and S3).

In addition, the support-vehicle can assist you with food and beverage (and, of course, medical assistance) at all check points.

No services are provided to participants to competitions, other than to the ULTRAMARATON, including to participants to the IBEX RELAY RUN.

We advise to organize the IBEX RELAY RUN as follows: Jogger#3 takes Jogger#1 by car up to the start line on the Gotthard Mountain (they should reach the start line at around 23:45 of day -1).

As soon as the race has started (00:00:00), Jogger#3 goes back home with his/her car and goes to sleep (he will be running in a few hours!).

At approximatively 03:45 (depending on the quality of the Joggers) Jogger#2 reaches Checkpoint#1 with his/her car, and, when Jogger#1 reaches Checkpoint#1 (somewhere around 04:00, depending on the ability of the previous Jogger) hand over to the latter the keys to his/her car. Jogger#1 goes home, using Jogger#2’s car.

At approximatively 09:00 (depending on the quality of the Joggers) Jogger#3 reaches Checkpoint#2 with his/her car, and, when Jogger#2 reaches Checkpoint#2 (somewhere around 09:30, depending on the abilities of the previous Joggers) hands over to the latter the keys to his/her car.

Jogger#2 goes home, using Jogger#3’s car. Jogger#2 goes home, using Jogger#3’s car.

At the arrival in Pedrinate, Jogger#1 and Jogger#2 wait for the arrival of Jogger#3 and everybody gets his/her car’s key back. Somebody takes Jogger#1 home. There are other solution to this quiz!!! 😊
