MATERIAL NOT ALLOWED OR NOT RECOMMENDED:
LAPTOP: The personal material of each participant will travel with the luggage, i.e. in the luggage trucks where the suitcases are piled on top of each other and are exposed to the sun in the camps until the participant reaches the finish. As a result, we do not recommend travelling with a laptop.
DRONES: The organization of the Škoda Titan Series Almería will under no circumstances allow riders to use drones in the camps or during the stages.
How can I charge electronic device?
The camp will have an area for charging electronic devices. The area will be supervised by organization staff. Even so, the organization cannot guarantee the full charge of the devices because it is dependent on a power generator. We therefore continue to recommend the use of batteries for GPS devices, cameras and other devices.
IMPORTANT! The camp charging service will be based on USB connections.
The generator is shut down at night to prevent nuisances. Please remove all electronic devices before the service is closed and left unsupervised. Any remaining devices will be removed and can be retrieved from the Participant Service from 6 am next day.
REGULATIONS / PERMITTED DEVICES:
Devices must be marked with the race number (sticker provided during the checks) and will only be returned to the participant whose race number matches the device to avoid misunderstandings.
Each participant may charge one device at a time or use one charge point at a time.
The following order of priority will apply: GPS devices, telephones, watches, external batteries, cameras, tablets and laptops.
How do support services work?
The organization does not provide physiotherapy or technical support to participants. These services are provided by third-party professionals.
The website contains a list of the businesses that offer these services. Acces to the information
Can I bring my own food?
The organization will take care of meals in the camps (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for all registered riders. However, you can also bring vacuum-packed foods (e.g. cheese and dried sausages) or specific foods for your diet.
Keep in mind that only drinks are handed out at Hydration Stations, so you should bring your own bars and gels.
Can I wash my clothes in the camps?
Yes, you can wash your clothes in the toilet areas of the camps. However, participants are advised to wear a clean set of clothes every day to help prevent sores and save water.
Keep in mind that water is a scarce resource and that it has to be brought in from wells several kilometres away.
