If the medical certificate is not compliant, it will be rejected and canceled and the registered participant must provide a new compliant one by January 31st, 2027.

It is therefore possible to deviate from the provided track at any time and then resume it later, using alternative roads at your own discretion, if conditions require it.
The organization reserves the right to modify the route up to a few days before departure or during the event due to weather or safety reasons.
