2. Teams – Each team has the possibility to move in together as a Group or 1 by 1 member, allowing the other member (s) of the team to rest in the START CAMP.

3. Courses:

BIKE COURSE: teams must start from the PC0, and register in PC1 and PC2, then, must return to PC0.

TREKKING COURSE: teams must start at PC0 and register at PC2. When the team decides to race each course, they must notify the judges at the START CAMP. There, the team will receive a Master Card from the judges. This card will be of a different color depending on the course each team has decided to complete next (either Bike or Trekking course)

4. “1x3” Format:

For every one (1) trekking course completed, the team must complete 3 Bike course, these can be completed as each team decides to do it. However, we recommend that Bike course is completed during the day light, and leave the trekking courses to be completed by night. The team that can complete more “1x3” in 24 hours will be the WINNER OF THE RACE.

If, after the 24 hours teams tie, with the total “1x3 accomplished during that time, there will be a bike sprint to the Town of Hidalgo to decide the winner of the race. It is clear that this is a strategy race, as the teams that go too fast and do not administrate their strength smartly, have the risk to “get burned” in the first legs of the race. Although there is a cut of time, this is a race of endurance, strategy, and team work!

The last course can be started from PC0, one (1) second before the cut off time(24 hours). Isolated legs that are not presented as a “1x3” do not count. For instance: maybe one team has completed 2 trekking legs and 7 bike legs. This will be counted by the organizers as 2 “1x3”.
