Yes<\/strong>. The bib, chip, and shirt will be delivered solely and exclusively in person at the Expo Sports, Thursday afternoon, Friday, and Saturday prior to the race.
Bibs will not be handed out on race day.
The runner may authorize a third party to collect the bib and runner’s bag. They must bring your receipt with the bib number and your ID (digital copy accepted).
Bibs will not be delivered to those who do not meet the requirements set by the Organization.
After collecting the bib at the location indicated by the organization, the shirt will be collected on a strict first-come, first-served basis, until the size runs out. The organization cannot guarantee the size because the order and manufacture of shirts is done prior to the closing of registrations.
The failure to collect the bib and runner’s bag under the established terms implies the waiver of the same. <\/p>

You will always be able to access a starting box lower than the one you chose. If you finally want to run in a faster box, you will have to contact the organization to make the change for you. <\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes<\/strong>. After picking up the bib number at the place indicated by the organisation, the T-shirt will be collected in strict order of arrival, until the size is finished. The organisation cannot guarantee the size due to the fact that the t-shirts are ordered and manufactured before the closing date for registration.
Failure to collect the race bib and the runner\u2019s bag in the established terms means that the runner will forfeit the same. <\/p>

The chip timing system is Chronochip.They will give this to you when you pick up your race number.<\/span><\/p>

The organisation will provide each participant with a single-use chip that will be placed in the participant\u2019s shoe and must be returned at the end of the race (you cannot participate with the yellow chip).
If you are going to pick up your bib number, but you are not going to take part in the race, remember to leave your chip in the designated areas.
If for any reason you cannot return it on the day of the race, you can send it by post to: RPM Racing, Av. Diagonal 477, 9th floor, 08036 Barcelona.
Failure to return the chip implies a penalty of 5\u20ac. <\/p>

The RFEA\/WA regulations do not explicitly prohibit it. However, we strongly recommend NOT using them, in order to enjoy the city environment and, above all, to be able to hear at all times the instructions from the organization, volunteers, and security services during the race<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>

Elit Athletes<\/b><\/p>

According to federation regulations, the use of headphones is not allowed<\/b> for elite athletes and those competing for official rankings, prizes, or records, as they must be able to attend at all times to the technical and safety instructions from judges and the organization.<\/p>

La organizaci\u00f3n podr\u00e1 restringir el uso de auriculares en cualquier momento si lo considera necesario por motivos de seguridad.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
