On Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October 2019, the association “CMP 4SPORT A.S.D.” is organising the 4th edition of the “CMP Bassano del Grappa Trail”, a trail running race in semi self-sufficiency on trails in mostly hilly areas. The event consists of 5 trails which differ by type and competitive spirit. The aim of the event is to encourage running enthusiasts to discover the paths and magnificent scenery in the areas that it covers. The organising committee is assisted by local associations and volunteers.

ITEM 2 – GUIDELINES

These regulations can be consulted on the website www.cmptrail.it.

The world of TRAIL brings together not only sports lovers, but above all people who respect nature and other people. When you register for the “CMP Trail Bassano del Grappa”, you are requested to run in compliance with the code of ethics adhered to by trail runners worldwide. This includes: not throwing rubbish of any kind on the ground, which could be extremely harmful to the environment; respect for yourselves; no dishonesty of any kind, either before or after the race; respect for other trail runners, providing assistance to anyone who may be in difficulty; and respect for the volunteers, whose aim is the same as yours: participation for the pleasure of being there.

Taking part in the “CMP Bassano Trail” means accepting these regulations fully and unreservedly. By registering, every competitor agrees to respect these regulations and releases the organisers from all civil or criminal liability for any incident, accident, or damages to people or objects resulting to or caused by him/her which may occur during the “CMP Trail Bassano” event, which will be held in accordance with these regulations as well as any future amendments and the notices which shall be published on the website.

ART.3 – GENERAL INFORMATION

This sporting event encompasses 5 different types of trail, designed and structured for different athlete categories:

A 43 km-long trail called CMP LONG TRAIL, which combines all the characteristics of a genuine self-sufficiency Trail and has an elevation gain of approximately 2,106 m. This is a personal challenge first and foremost, as it involves running along hilly paths and mule tracks – parts of which are rarely used – surrounded by the thick woodlands of Bassano del Grappa, Conco, Campolongo sul Brenta and Marostica and passing through the vineyards and olive groves typical of the area. Rugged, rocky and earthy terrain, steep ups and downs between pools of spring water, and forbidding flights of steps will create memories to last for a long time to come. This opportunity to discover the local territory needs to be tackled with suitable physical preparation and an excellent capacity for managing stamina and available resources, to qualify as a CMP Trail finisher. The CMP LONG TRAIL is a competitive race (you must have a certified medical certificate for competitive races) with a cash prize.

A short Trail of 18 km called CMP SHORT TRAIL for newcomers, beginners, amateurs and all those who wish to put themselves to the test in a competition which requires a fair level of physical preparation and, above all, the desire to immerse yourself in the challenge and in nature. This is a fascinating route in terms of history, landscape and scenery, as kilometre after kilometre unfolds across pathways and dirt roads, along the western bank of the river Brenta and passing by the San Bovo hermitage, where you will hear the welcoming notes of the bell ringing out. With an elevation gain of 653 m, the short trail is an ideal route for anyone with an interest in the world of Trail running who wants to enjoy the delights offered by the countryside – and more – of Bassano and the surrounding area. The CMP SHORT TRAIL is open both as a competitive event (upon presentation of a medical certificate) and as a non-competitive event in this fourth edition. It is also possible to register and participate in the Short Trail using the Nordic Walking technique.

A non-competitive 10 km trail called 2 PASSI DI GUSTO (FOOD AND WINE WALK), open to everyone, either freewalking or Nordic walking.

A short 7 km trail called the YOUTH COMPETITIVE TRAIL reserved for anyone who is Under 19 attending secondary and high school and sporting associations throughout Italy (born from 2000 to 2008), designed to promote Trail Running among young people. The organisation is, therefore, offering 40 individual study grants for the winners (first 5 m/f) of the race, shared among the various categories as follows: KIDS (2006/2007/2008), CADETS (2004/2005), TEENAGERS (2002/2003), JUNIORS (2000/2001). Another study grant is offered as a prize for the educational institution which brings the largest number of students to the race and for the most represented sporting association.

A short 4 km trail called the NON-COMPETITIVE YOUTH TRAIL reserved for all Under U19 students of High schools, Secondary schools and in the 4th and 5th years of Primary school (born from 2000 to 2010) and sporting associations throughout Italy, designed to promote Trail Running among young people.

A short 2 km trail called the non-competitive MINI TRAIL through the vineyards of Villa Angarano, dedicated to all kids from 4 to 10 years of age who will have the possibility of approaching the sport of running and trail running.

The tag-in is the responsibility of each individual participant and you should allow at least 30 minutes before the start of your competition. The race bibs are fitted with a chip which must be handed over at the finishing line (except for the 4km Youth Trail, the 10km food and wine walk and the Nordic walking). Competitors who withdraw during the course of the competition are asked to return their bib fitted with its chip to the volunteers who are stationed along the trail.

We therefore remind all athletes to give their race number promptly and clearly when requested to do so by the staff stationed along the route.

The refreshment points that will be set up along the route, the location of which will be communicated during the pre-race briefing and can be consulted on-line, will be supplied with drinks and some food. Athletes must therefore independently ensure that they have as much as they believe they will need to go from one refreshment point to another. All rubbish, cups, gels, bars etc. must be thrown away in the specially provided bins available at the refreshment points. Anyone found to be throwing rubbish away outside of the designated containers shall be disqualified.

No complaints in this regard will be accepted. We strongly recommend that no valuable objects should be left inside the bags. A sticker to use for identifying bags can be found inside the athletes’ race packs.

ITEM 14 EURO

Withdrawal is possible at the refreshment points or, alternatively, anywhere the organisation’s staff are present so that the athlete can return the race bib and chip. Every withdrawal must be communicated promptly to race Management. Notification is vital to prevent emergency services from being alerted needlessly.

ITEM 15 – SECURITY AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

Security and medical assistance shall be provided by the organisation’s volunteers stationed along the route and by authorised personnel. Moreover, emergency services shall be present on the trail in the areas accessible to the organisation’s vehicles. Support is also provided by teams on trials bikes qualified to perform BLS-D first aid. Their presence is a vital safeguard for all athletes in the race. They move along the route without hindering the smooth progress of the race and we ask that their presence be considered as a vital support for safety. The operators have arranged to bring assistance to those who need it, with their own resources or through appointed organisations. The doctors on duty have the incontestable power to stop competitors judged unfit to continue the race, with subsequent disqualification. The race bib shall be removed. Emergency responders are authorised to use their resources to remove competitors judged to be in danger. On pain of disqualification, every athlete is obliged to assist others who may be in difficulty, and to bring the attention of organisation personnel to situations which require emergency intervention or assistance. Any competitor who calls for a doctor or emergency services must respect their authority and agree to comply with their decisions. Access to and the nature of treatment shall be at the discretion of the medical staff. Calling the emergency number provided to the athletes entails an automatic acceptance of the doctor’s and/or the emergency responder’s authority and the obligation to accept their decisions.

ITEM 16 – PERSONAL ASSISTANCE

Competitors may avail of any personal assistance stationed along the route.

ITEM 17 – PENALTIES AND DISQUALIFICATIONS

The organisation’s staff on the trail will be authorised to ensure the regulations are respected in full. Violations encountered by the organisation’s staff or reported by athletes may lead to incontestable disqualification after consideration by the race jury (though in the latter case proof in the form of a photo or video is required). The race jury may declare a competitor disqualified in the case of a serious violation of the regulations, particularly: – bib exchange – failure to pass through a checkpoint – missing out part of the trail – use of transport – failure to assist another competitor in difficulty – discarding your belongings along the trail – pollution or littering of the place by abandoning rubbish along the trail – insults, rude behaviour or threats towards members of the organization or volunteers – refusal to be examined by an organisation doctor at any time during the race – physical and/or mental state deemed to be unsuitable for continuing the race

ITEM 18 – DISPUTES

Disputes will be accepted and taken into consideration if presented in writing within thirty minutes of the posting of the provisional rankings by the organisation, with a payment of 50.00 Euros which will be reimbursed only if the dispute is upheld. It will be the responsibility of the jury to provide a response upholding or rejecting the dispute in question.

ITEM – 19 – CHANGES TO THE ROUTE

The organisation reserves the right to alter, at any time, the route (shortening or even lengthening it) or the positioning of refreshment points, using the dedicated on-site area at the race or the web (in the area reserved for news and/or the trail) to give timely notice of any alterations made in the interests of the well-being of competitors and volunteers and the safety of the race. In the case of adverse weather conditions (thick fog, heavy storms, strong winds) which may put competitors’ safety at risk, the starting time may be postponed or cancelled, the route may be altered or reduced, or the race may terminate at any point along the trail. If an ongoing race is interrupted, the final rankings shall be issued on the basis of the last check conducted during the race. Suspension of a race does not entitle competitors to any reimbursement of their registration fees. All decisions will be taken by the panel of judges and by the staff designated by the heads of the organising committee.

ITEM 20 – INSURANCE

The organisation shall take out civil liability insurance for the entire duration of the competition. Participation in the competition is therefore at the sole responsibility of the competitors, who, upon registering, waive all claims against the organisers in the case of damages and any further consequences which they may incur after the race.

ITEM 21 – IMAGE RIGHTS
