There are no demands upon participation for more than one day. However, in case the maximum limit per day (1500 runs per day) is reached before the 1^th of March 2020 the participants will be prioritized in accordance with the following criteria:

• The number of days each competitor wants to participate. The more days you register, the higher your registration will be prioritized. Highest priority will be given to competitors who register for at least 2 runs per day each of the 6 days of competition.
• Priority will also be given to competitors who volunteer to act as officials during the week – even if not able to compete the entire week.
