SEMI-AUTONOMOUS

The principle of individual running in semi-autonomy is the rule.

Semi-autonomy is defined as the ability to be autonomous between two “bases of life”, both in terms of food and clothing and safety equipment, allowing in particular to adapt to problems encountered, both predictable and unpredictable. Assistance is only tolerated in the living bases and set up by the organization. It is strictly forbidden at any other point of the course under penalty of immediate disqualification.

No accompaniment is allowed throughout the course.
This principle implies in particular the following rules For the Unassisted category called Bikepacking

Each runner must be completely autonomous during the entire race.
The “life bases” are supplied with food and drinks to be consumed on site. The organization only provides still water, tea and coffee, fruit and food from a partner’s endowment.
No other assistance is allowed, at any other point of the course.
It is forbidden to be accompanied or to accept to be accompanied during all or part of the race, outside the tolerance zones clearly indicated by the organization, i.e. the life bases.
The fact of taking advantage of the drafting of a runner is forbidden for the participant competing in all categories.  Anyone suspected of drafting another runner and vice versa will cause the disqualification of both runners. Drafting is nevertheless tolerated for runners participating in two or four, in the “Duo” or “Quartet” category.
Any group of more than two people at any time during the race will be excluded from the race if it lasts more than 30 minutes.
The participant will get food (solid and liquid) and equipment from the shops available on the course.
The participant will sleep either in a hotel, in a home stay or in a bivouac, respecting the local rules.
Nota bene : A participant who accepts to be filmed without accreditation by the organization and therefore, accompanied, outside the expressly designated areas, contravenes the principle of semi-autonomy. Any participant wishing to be filmed must inform the organization at least 30 days before the start of the race and request accreditation for the production team so that it can be identified.

The race regulators witnessing irregularities are entitled to penalize participants in order to guarantee the spirit of the Ride Eat Sleep & Share events.

Only riders wearing a visible helmet and frame number and duly checked have access to the refreshment posts.

In case of decision to abandon between 2 checkpoints, the runner must go to the nearest checkpoint where he/she will report his/her abandonment by his/her own means.

The runner keeps his number because it is his pass to access the “life bases”.

In case of abandonment, the participant will have to warn by any means the organizer and return the lent material (GPS tracker) at the participant’s expense, either at the organizer’s address, or at our GPS partner’s, but also at the organization directly on one of the “life bases” or “arrival base”.

In case of non-return, the participant will be invoiced directly by the GPS partner of the event for an amount of 350 euros TTC. By accepting these rules by signing up, the provider will invoice directly the person concerned.

300 kilometers: 24 hours
500 kilometers: 40 hours
1100 kilometers: 120 hours
2500 kilometers: 240 hours
The maximum time allowed is calculated according to the participant’s departure time.

Even if the conditions of access to the events organized by the Ride Eat Sleep & Share association are made on the basis of past performances, it happens that some participants do not manage to keep the pace and are very late.

The time barriers have been set up and are calculated as accurately as possible according to the time limit of each event.

They are calculated to allow participants to reach the finish within the time limit, while allowing for possible stops (rest, meal…).

If a competitor passes after the limit indicated above on a base of life, (his start + xx H) the race direction team will contact the runner to announce its decision.

Any competitor who is out of the race and wants to continue his route freely will be able to do so only after having informed the race headquarters, under his own responsibility and in complete autonomy.

COURSE

The RACE ACROSS FRANCE® event, which starts in Le Touquet Paris Plage, consists in going from Mandelieu to La Napoule, on an imposed course, on a road open to traffic and common to all participants.

Several “bases of life” are distributed along the course serving as refreshment. In case of malfunction of the GPS tracker provided by the organization, all material evidence (receipt) and immaterial (photos, videos) will be studied by the organization to validate the respect of the rules or not leading to disqualification.

The course through landscapes and panoramas, each one as sumptuous as the other, will make you discover in depth our regions and departments.

You will have the chance to follow in the footsteps of the champions in the mythical and legendary passes and to pass by the highest cycling summit in Europe at 2764 m of altitude, the Iseran pass

The road open to traffic is common to all categories. Checkpoints are spread along the route, to allow those who wish to come and encourage the real heroes. You have the choice to participate in the Race Across France with or without an assistance team that will take care of your food, sleep and health. You can also choose to participate in this event in relay teams of 2, 4 or 8 with your friends, teammates or colleagues.

The course is not marked but the course will be made available to participants as a GPX link.

LIGHT BAGS

Each participant has the possibility to leave a bag of maximum 20 liters at the “life bases” where he is supposed to leave it.

After having filled it with the things of his choice and having closed it, he can deposit it, before his departure at the reception base of his city of departure.

The organization provides the labeling for a better routing.

This bag is sent and dispatched by the organization to the “living bases” so that the participant can pick it up upon arrival.

When arriving at a base, each participant will have the possibility to take his bag himself in a place materialized for this purpose. When they leave the “base of life”, they deposit their bag in the place provided for this purpose. The bag is then brought back to the participant’s place of arrival by the organization.

How many weight bags for what distance

300 K > No delestage bag
500 K > 1 Lightening bag
1000 K > 1 Ballast bag
1000 K > 2 Relief bags
The basics of life are

“Announced 1/2/22”

The bags are given to the competitor or to relatives, exclusively on presentation of the race number. The bags must be collected at the latest 1 hour after the closing of the race. Beyond that time, the runner will have to come himself to get his bag back, at his own expense, at the arrival base of Mandelieu-La Napoule or at the headquarters of the association.

The organization ensures the repatriation of the bags of the runners having abandoned, on the condition that their abandonment was recorded.

The time of repatriation depends on the logistic constraints and the organization cannot guarantee a complete repatriation of the bags before the end of the race.

As the contents of the bags are not checked, no dispute on the contents at the arrival is admissible. It is recommended not to put valuables in the bags.
