Covid-19

There are likely to be some Covid related changes to the bib pickup, aid stations and finish for 2022 but the event should take place as generally planned. 

All places are filled, the name and distance change deadline has passed and no new places are being released.

Thank you for your continued support of the event.

What type of running shoes are recommended for the EcoTrail Warsaw event?

Trail shoes are strongly recommended for all distances in the EcoTrail Warsaw event

Regular road running shoes are not suitable for the mix of trail surfaces that are included in all distances.

These trails include significant sections of gravel, rocks, roots, grass and most likely mud particularly in case of recent wet weather.

Will there be drop-bags allowed on the course?

No

You are expected to carry everything you require for the duration of the race including food.

Water is available at the advised location for refil of your container only.

Please do not leave bags on the route as this is against race rules and will result in disqualification.

Personal/external support with provision of drinks, food, clothing, etc on the route is strictly forbidden.

Use of shops/cafes along the course is permitted.

We need to ensure the event is fair for all participating and external support is not "fair play".

Can my supporters track my position live at all times?

No. Currently, we do not provide live tracking services.

Our team can see which runners pass which checkpoints although there can be a delay from the time a runner registers at a mat until the Race HQ can see their split time. If a runner does not show up in our system at a certain time it does not mean the runner is not there.

Runners can sign up to use their phone to allow supporters to track them through the independent app 'RaceONE'. However, GPS signal through phones can be limited in places meaning that the signal will not always be perfect. Do not rely on this tracker for emergencies as it is only designed to aid with support.

If during the race you need to provide priority updates to your supporters or emergency contact, your primary means of communication should be your mobile phone.
