It is on you to complete 30 Burpees (shared or by yourself)- and you will be disqualified if the burpees are not completed. Elite & Age Group racers cannot give or receive any sort of assistance during the race. • You only have one attempt in several obstacles- this is indicated to you in the CHECK HERE THE regulations and by the volunteers on site.

TEAMS 10.FORM YOUR TEAM You can make a team and participate in any category. But remember that only in the Open heats is allowed the aid between racers and sharing burpees. The rules for team classification are as follows: • Any team with at least four members will be part of the team classification. It is not necessary to make a special registration. • If you want to appear in the classification, a minimum of 4 members must finish the race. • Each format (Sprint, Super) has its own ranking. All team members have to compete at the same distance. And they also have to compete at the same category (ELITE, AGE GROUP, OPEN). • You do not have to start all in the same heat, although the logical thing is that the result improves if you do. • A team can be composed only by women, men or mixed. There will only be one classification and no differences by gender. • The results by teams will not be known until all heats of the race are finished.
