medical status, the Organizer will offer the following two options only:
o Deferment: Defer the registration entry to CULTRA 2027 at no additional

• Mandatory Gear Exemption (4km Category): * Participants in the 4km (Under 13, 
Under 16, Under 18, and Open) categories are exempted from the mandatory gear 
list required for longer distances.

water bottle and their mobile phone.

level).

the bib is not allowed.
• Verification Compliance: Failure to keep the bib visible prevents the crew from 
performing on-course swap detection and finish line matching.

verified.
9. INTERNATIONAL SPORTING STANDARDS

at all times.
