Most healthy runners acclimate well to altitude as long as they follow a few simple rules:

• Observe 2 to 3 days of rest relating to the arrival at altitude,
• Avoid cooling due to large temperature variations,
• Listening to your body to detect the onset of Acute Mountain Sickness.

Participants in the Ultra BOLIVIA Race will receive a few months before the event an information letter concerning adaptation to altitude and “Acute Mountain Sickness.”

Each entrant must provide his/her own food for 7 days. Each competitor must have 2 000k/calories per day, that is to say a minimum of 14 000k/calories, otherwise he/she will be penalized. Gas stoves are strictly forbidden.

Participants must imperatively follow the course provided by the organization under penalty of penalty. The course will be marked by the organization team. In addition, before departure, participants will have a map with the route, distances, directions to follow as well as the particularities of the course. The absence of a card during the event will result in a penalty.

Participants receive water at checkpoints (1 or 2 checkpoints per stage), morning and evening at the bivouac. It is imperative to have your bidons (compulsory equipment) because we do not give bottles. In addition, we do not distribute hot water.

The theoretical temperatures on the Bolivian Altiplano in September are between -10 and -5 °C at night and between +2 and +10 °C during the day.

During the race the participants sleep in tents (two people per tent).

Registration fees do not include air tickets. Participants must individually manage transport (plane and airport transfer) to reach the meeting point with the group. Participants must be on Saturday September 17 at the hotel Naira in La Paz (Sagarnaga Street no. 161).
