Important Notes:

• Italian athletes, even if resident abroad, must necessarily be in possession of one of these cards: Fidal, WA, Runcard or Runcard Eps. Their participation in a non-competitive form is not permitted.

• Italian and foreign athletes in possession of Runcard or Runcard EPS will be regularly included in the race ranking, but will not be able to enjoy refunds, bonuses or access the prize money.
• Italian and foreign athletes residing abroad in possession of a Runcard can present a competitive medical certificate issued in the country of residence provided that the foreign doctor signs that the same tests required by Italian law have been carried out: a) medical examination; b) complete urinalysis; c) electrocardiogram at rest and after effort; d) spirometry.
• Participation in the competitive race by italian or foreign athletes with only a competitive medical certificate is not permitted. It is necessary to be in possession of a valid Fidal, WA, Runcard or Runcard Eps membership: in particular, Fidal card holders must insure themselves at their team to have renewed the card for the year 2024 and in the case of recent renewal of the medical certificate that this has been sent by the team to Fidal to make the card valid again, in case the card has not been renewed or is invalid they will not be able to take part in the race.
