Instructions for Team Competition 3*500 m
There is no temperature limit.
Safety – We recommend using a helmet and goggles during the race. The organizer’s insurance covers the competition event; any additional insurance is the competitor’s own responsibility.
Team line-ups must be submitted by 8 PM on the previous evening, either at the race office or via email to keuki.hiihto@gmail.com
In the team competition, teams use a single kicksled which serves as the relay baton. During the exchange, both the incoming and outgoing competitors must briefly touch the sled simultaneously (no throwing exchanges). NOTE! The race number must be attached prominently to the kicksled or its props and must be clearly visible from the front.
The rules are not as strict as in individual events, but interference and unsportsmanlike behavior will be closely monitored. Any kind of joyful show that does not disturb others is allowed and even encouraged 😊
Teams must be at the starting area on time according to the start list. Heat sizes depend on the number of registered teams. Unlike in the individual competition, teams can advance not only based on speed but also by putting effort into their props and costumes (at the discretion of the jury).
