Here you may find answers to most of your questions. Should you have any other questions, feel free to contact us at <a href=\"mailto:info@ultrafiord.com\">info@ultrafiord.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"titleFontzContainer marginBottomz\">\n<h2 class=\"titleFontz\">General Information<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerOne\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">1. What is trail running?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">According to the ITRA (International Trail Running Association), trail running is defined as running through a natural environment (mountains, deserts, forests, plains, etc.) with a minimum amount of paved or asphalted roads, which must not exceed 20% of the total course. The type of terrain may vary (dirt path, forest footpaths, trails, etc.), and the route must be properly marked. Within this general context provided by ITRA, Running is an intensive way to connect with nature; it is a life experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerTwo\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">2. Why is it called Ultra Fiord<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup>?<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">The term \u201cUltra Fiord\u201d is the result of the combination between two concepts: Ultra and Fiord. Ultra, in a sports context, is associated with challenges that go beyond usual limits, which is the factor that defines the event\u2019s character. The other term, which defines the foundation of this Ultra Trail Running, is Fiord (Fjord), or Fiordo in Spanish, and is used to highlight the many fjords located in Chilean Patagonia. Ultra Fiord<sup style=\"font-size: 10px;position: relative;top: 4px;\">\u00ae<\/sup> is a journey into a magical world of fjords, one that will lead to discovering this territory shaped by the passage of glaciers. Chile is one of the only countries with fjords, and even more, the thousands and thousands of kilometers of these that have accumulated are still preserved, making it perhaps one of the country\u2019s best-kept secrets. If you wish to see them, you can observe them through a map of Chile\u2019s extreme southwestern end, and find them hidden under the names of \u201cchannel,\u201d \u201cstrait,\u201d or others that hide the true origin of these giants, which are actually Fjords in origin!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerThree\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">3. Where will Ultra Fiord<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup> take place?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">The event will be held in the Province of Ultima Esperanza (Last Hope), Magellan and Chilean Antarctica Region. The region\u2019s capital is Punta Arenas; however, the closest town and logistics center to the course is Puerto Natales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerFour\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">4. What is the race format for Ultra Fiord<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup>?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">The race format is going to be a non-stop, semi-autonomous race. This means that each runner must be independent between aid stations (PAS), which in general will be located at distances of 5 to 8km, except for the 55K, which will have a 20km stretch of autonomy. Thus, in order to endure any possible weather or physical conditions that may arise, each runner must carry mandatory equipment at all times (see equipment list in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultrafiord.com\/rules#Article_08\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Race Rules<\/a>). Similarly, the runner must carry a sufficient amount of nutrition and hydration to last each leg of the race. Ultra Fiord<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup> adheres to the values of sportsmanship, loyalty, solidarity, and environmental respect. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerFive\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">5. What types of terrain are crossed in Ultra Fiord<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup>?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Ultra Fiord<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup>\u2019s route passes through wild and pristine territory: forests, mountains, rivers, lakes and glaciers make up the natural scenery for this event. The race trails are on uneven or rugged surfaces, which include areas that cross over rocks, mud, peats, dirt and even, depending on the present weather conditions, areas that are covered in snow for the longer distances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerSix\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">6. How will the route be marked?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">The race route will be clearly marked, primarily by blue stakes with a reflective border at the top and in some areas white tape. The frequency of the markers will depend on the specific characteristics of that race area and the type of path or track you are following. They will be more frequent when there are less clearings and visibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerSeven\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">7.

Please see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultrafiord.com\/en\/rules#Article_10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Article 10<\/a> of the Rules and Regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerEleven\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">11. Can my team members, friends, or family accompany me along the race?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">During the course of the entire Race, outside assistance is strictly prohibited. Runners are only allowed to have contact with their team, family members or friends at the starting lines and finish line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerTwelve\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">12. What is the control process during the race?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Runners will receive a Race Passport after their Mandatory Gear Check in Puerto Natales. In this passport, it is mandatory for each runner to register him\/herself at every Aid Station (PAS), the Starting Line, and the Finish Line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">The organization also reserves the right to check the mandatory equipment, which will be noted in the race passport. <\/p>\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">It is the runner\u00b4s responsibility to check him\/herself in at each PAS \/ PC listed in the Race Passport. If a runner is missing a check-in from one or more PC \/ PAS, the organization reserves the right to disqualify the runner and\/or not include his\/her time in the finals results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerThirteen\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">13. Can I send a personal equipment bag to intermediate points or the finish line?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">For all of the races during <strong>ULTRA FIORD<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>, runners can send a bag with personal items (Drop Bag) to the Finish Line. These Drop Bags must be entered directly at each respective Starting Line. This Drop Bag may only be used for nutrition and\/or clothing. It may NOT, however, be used to carry electronic equipment, fragile items, or anything of value. For each race distance, the organization will provide personalized stickers to be placed on each bag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerFourteen\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">14. How is the weather this time of year at the race location?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">In Patagonia\u2019s Extreme South, weather conditions are both highly variable and unpredictable in all four seasons. However, in February, it will be middle of summer in this area, which usually consists of strong winds, although exceptions may exist. Overall, average temperatures range from 4 to 12\u00baC, being even close to 0\u00baC in the high mountain areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> In reference to weather conditions, the mandatory equipment seeks to improve the race experience, while also serving as an important part of your safety and comfort during the event. Selecting and evaluating each item is the runner\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerFifteen\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">15. Will restrooms be available at the starting points?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">The Race takes place far away from urban centers and places, so runners will only have access to bathrooms and facilities at the Starting Line and Finish Line. Therefore, if necessary, runners must be at least 60 meters away from any water source and utilize the technique \u201ccathole.\u201d Runners must try to avoid roads and animal tracks as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerSixteen\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">16.

From this airport, there are frequent flights to Punta Arenas, President Carlos Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez del Campo Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Presidente Carlos Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez del Campo), which is the closest airport to Puerto Natales and the Ultra Fiord<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup> race zone. The airport code is PUQ. The capital of the Magellan and Chilean Antarctica Region. From Punta Arenas, there are regular bus services to Puerto Natales (250km).

How can I register? What is the registration process?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Registration can be made by completing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultrafiord.com\/registration\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Ultra Fiord Registration\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registration process<\/a>. Upon pre-registration, participant will pay a non-refundable deposit of $12.000 CLP (USD $20.00) to secure his\/her spot in the race. The runner\u00b4s application will be reviewed by the organization to access if he\/she has met the requirements of his\/her selected race distance. This will take 1-7 working days. Once your application has been approved, you will receive a unique confirmation link from the race organizer in order to complete the registration process by making full payment online for the entry fee within 10 consecutive days of notification. Should the participant not complete the process within the time limit, his\/her spot could be given to another runner, but should his\/her spot in the race still be available and the registration period has changed, the link will be invalid and therefore updated to reflect the updated registration fee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Successful applicants will be required to send in the following documents (which will be sent to the applicants via email) at least one month before the event:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"fontzLeft\" style=\"padding-left:50px;\">\n<li> Medical certificate that clearly indicates a runner\u2019s ability to complete this sort of activity, specifically including the completion of the specified distance.<\/li>\n<li> A signed copy of the event\u2019s disclaimer form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerTwentyThree\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">4. What are the requirements for entering the race?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">All runners should have previous Trail Running experience, and all additional experience included in mountain-type events will be an additional benefit.

All applications will be evaluated, and only runners that have proven the minimum necessary requirements will be accepted. These requirements are requested to ensure a good level of event security during the race, as well as ensuring a good experience for all participants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Please note that physical and physiological demands for the event are high, and a schedule of cut-off times will be included in the race, which could cut some unprepared runners out of the race.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerTwentyFour\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">5. In what ways can I complete my registration payment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">For international runners, payment must be made in USD through an international credit card.

What should I do if I have registered, paid the registration cost, but have not received any form of confirmation from the organization after a few days?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">First, ensure that you have not received the confirmation email in your spam folder by checking the junk folder in your email. If there is still no email, please send us an email at <a href=\"mailto:info@ultrafiord.com\"> info@ultrafiord.com<\/a> explaining your situation, with an attachment of your payment confirmation. It is noteworthy to mention each registered runner is always sent a welcome email, so if you have not received a confirmation email, it usually means there has been a problem with completing your registration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerTwentySeven\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">8. Can I change registration information once I have already confirmed my participation?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Yes, you can make any necessary change until registration closes by writing us an email at <a href=\"mailto:info@ultrafiord.com\"> info@ultrafiord.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerTwentyEight\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">9. Once enrolled, can I change my race distance? Until when can I make that change?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Any change to your registration can be completed at any time until registration closes. However, we please ask that you first send us an email at <a href=\"mailto:info@ultrafiord.com\"> info@ultrafiord.com<\/a>. As long as you meet all the additional requirements for that race distance, and if there are still additional spots remaining, we will make the requested change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"titleFontzContainer marginBottomz\">\n<h2 class=\"titleFontz\">Returns<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"spoilerTwentyNine\" class=\"newJsSpoiler\">1.

If for one reason or another I cannot compete in ULTRA FIORD<sup class=\"ufTrademark\">\u00ae<\/sup>, can I transfer my registration to another runner?<\/div>\n<div class=\"innerDivStylz\">\n<p class=\"fontzLeft\">Yes, it is possible to transfer your registration.
