 10)PLACE of the RACE

 The race will take place at the RUBTAN-S six lane track-and-field sports in San Giovanni Lupatoto/Verona (Italy).

 The competitors of IAU 24 H individual track Championships will run on the three external lanes (forth, fifth and sixth) (4th line = mt 422,37).  Whereas the three most internal lanes will be devoted to the "24 x 1 H Relay race".  

 

 

 11)ORGANIZATION  STRUCTURE

 Organizing Committee: “Gruppo Sportivo Mombocar”  (at INFO-POINT, at NEUTRALIZATION AREA during the race)

 Competition Official of FIDAL (Italian Federation of Athletics) 

 Recording times by FICR  (Italian Federation of time-keepers) 

 Recording laps and times by WINNING TIME  with chips (transpoders) 





12)RESULTS MEASURING

Each runner must wear a chip, to compute laps and time. For every athlete we will compute all laps (in the 4th lane = 422,37 m) covered during the race. In case the fraction of lap that has not been ended at the expiring of the 24 hours, the measuring will be in meters. To allow this measuring in the last few minutes of the race, every competitor will be asked to bear a numbered mark that he/she should leave in the exact point of the track he/she is in, at the expiring of the 24 hours.  All these operations will take place under the supervision of the Competition Officials, who will take care of the above-mentioned measuring of the meters covered in the last lap partially carried out. 





13)UP-TO-DATE RESULTS

The results will be available during the race at INFO-POINT and NEUTRALIZATION AREA.

Particularly are available:

 Number of laps (every hour)

 at km. 21,097 (half marathon)

 from 22.30 to 02.30 : counter-clockwise

 How the direction of race changes:  at the following intervals (that will be signaled by a Competition Official with a gun-shot) 14.30 - 18.30 - 22.30 - 02.30 - 06.30 , every runner will end the current lap up to the “buoy turn” (especially created and signaled in proximity to the 200 m.). At this point he/she will invert the race direction and will run in the fifth lane up to the finish/start line.  As soon as possible after the finish/start line he/she will run again normally in the fourth lane.
