SWIMRUN eDreams by HEAD 2020
The SWIMRUN eDreams by HEAD events are part of the new line of MARNATON Experiences. The events take place over one single day. The objective of the challenge is to combine the disciplines of running and swimming consecutively.
All of the events take place in natural environments and in some cases in a Natural Park, so we kindly ask participants to respect the importance of the surrounding environment at all times and to cooperate in protecting it.
MARNATON requests everyone’s cooperation in leaving no trace of our presence behind and, after the event, to leave the area in a better condition than we found it.
As an open water swimmer and runner you must respect and protect the environment.
You can only register via MARNATON website at www.marnaton.com Individually or in pairs.
We strongly recommend attending the briefing.
Each participant must use only one bag, identified by their team number, which the organization will provide for them to keep their personal belongings. The Wet Bag must be left at the designated point before the start of the race.
To retrieve their bag, which is looked after by the event organizers near to the finish, the team or participant must show their cap and their bib number.
The bags in the cloakroom will be watched over at all times. The organization will not be held responsible for the misplacement or loss of the swimmers’ personal belongings. To prevent this from happening, please do not place any valuable items in the cloakroom bags which the swimmers have to leave on the beach.
The transfer to the start will be made by bus. The schedule will be published on the web.
All participants must have the following equipment with them. Random controls will be made before the start to verify the equipment. If participants do not have this equipment, they may not take part in the competition.
