  • To join this event Join the waiting list with a comment with the name of your team, the names of the other two team members and if you are going to bring a car.
  • If you do not find enough people to complete a team, join the waiting list informing about this situation. I will manage it with other people in the same situation to create a team.
  • The Organizers recommend to bring with you a lot of water and to consume the beers in a responsible way. It's better to take the 5 mins penalty that not to arrive to the finish.
