The race regulations are based on and subject to the FEEC “Mountain Running Regulations” and any amendments that the FEEC may include.

1. Places are limited to 600 runners per race, allocated strictly in order of registration (550 places will be open to the public, and we reserve 50 places for Club members and commitments with sponsors, etc.).

Registration will open on:

• EL PUTU TRAIL on 25/05/2026 at 14:00 h
• LA MEDIA Y PICO on 26/05/2026 at 14:00 h
• LA NO TAN CORTA on 27/05/2026 at 14:00 h
• LA CAMINATA on 28/05/2026 at 14:00 h

All registrations will close on 02/10/2026 at 23:59 h.

2. Registrations for non-federated runners will include an additional cost to cover the temporary licence required to compete in the event. Valid licences are: FEEC, FCA, FCOC, FEDME, ISF and ITRA.

3. Completing registration:

• Registration will not be valid until payment has been made.
• Once registered, each runner will receive an email, after the registration has been completed, with a summary of the details provided (name, age, email address, etc.). You will also receive a security code that allows you to withdraw from the race yourself. Watch out for this code, it is important! Keep it safe!
• Since we know that anti-spam filters sometimes mess things up, please make sure that the emails we send you have not ended up in your spam folder.

4. Withdrawal from the race.

• Withdrawals are processed from the Registration page on this same website. Below the registration area you will find the option to withdraw.
• When processing the withdrawal, the system will ask for runner details plus the security code. If the details are correct, the withdrawal will be processed. Do not share the code with anyone.
• When you withdraw, the amount paid will be refunded minus the bank commission, using the same payment method used for the original payment.
• The action is irreversible! Once you withdraw, you will lose your assigned bib number.
• Your bib will be released and assigned to the next person on the waiting list (if there is one), or it will become available for the next registration.
• IMPORTANT: The last day to request a withdrawal is 26 September at 23:59. After that, no refunds will be accepted because we need enough time to prepare everything required: aid stations, T-shirt orders, insurance, beer barrels... Thank you for your understanding.

5. Waiting list:

• Once registrations are sold out (if they sell out), the platform will offer the option to join a waiting list, ordered strictly by registration time.
• If a bib becomes available, an email will be sent with a link to complete the payment. You will have 24 hours from the time the email is sent to do so. We recommend keeping an eye on your inbox.
• If the link expires, we will understand that you are giving up the bib, and it will be assigned to the next runner. This action is also irreversible!

6. Distance changes:

• They are not allowed. If there is a waiting list, changing distance would mean jumping ahead of the people who are waiting.
• If you want to change distance, you must withdraw using the system described above and register for the desired distance.
• If the new distance has a waiting list, you will have to sign up and hope for the best.

7. Bib name changes:

Bib transfers are not allowed. Running with someone else’s bib will result in disqualification and permanent expulsion from all future editions for both people involved.

8. Registrations will not be accepted on the day of the race.

9. Mandatory equipment (not carrying it may result in disqualification):

EL PUTU TRAIL 42Km

11. Bibs can be collected the day before the race at the l’Horta de Can Guixà esplanade (opposite Fixe Climbing, Sant Quirze de Besora) from 18:00 to 20:00 h, or on race day up to half an hour before the start of each distance.

12. When collecting their bib, federated runners must show the corresponding licence. If they do not, they will have to pay the €5 temporary licence fee.

20. If, due to circumstances beyond the organisation’s control, the original route cannot be used, we reserve the right to modify the course in order to guarantee the safety of runners.
