Competition Rules and Organizational Guidelines

By submitting an online registration for the 27. Glocknerkönig on the 2nd June 2024 you (the participant) agree to the following competition rules and organisational guidelines:

  • You hereby confirm that there is no medical reason why I should not take part and that your condition of health and training is appropriate to the demands of the competition. You are aware of the health and other dangers associated with the competition, and understand that you take part in the event at your own risk.

  • You confirm that you will not make any legal claims or demands against the event organiser, staff, associations, or any councils or other persons or bodies concerned, insofar as liability insurance claims do not exist.

  • You hereby declare that you are willing to accept possible medical treatment.

  • No claims for compensation will be met in the case of force majeure, postponement, shortening of the route, or cancellation.

  • There is no right of withdrawal after registration. Cancellation of your registration is not possible and the entry fee cannot be refunded. Exceptions are non-acceptance of the registration by the organiser.

  • The starter information in the starter envelope must be read carefully by each participant. Furthermore, all announcements before, during or after the race and the rules of conduct given there are to be followed.

  • You are aware that Austrian road rules apply throughout the event.

  • The Großglockner High Alpine Road will be closed to traffic between the Ferleiten toll point and Fuscher Törl. However, there may be vehicles of the organizing committee, emergency organizations or the press on the route. In addition, downhill cyclists are to be expected. Riders must therefore ride on the right hand side of the road.

  • You will follow any instructions given by officials and doctors.

  • Helmets must be worn.

  • No e-bikes are allowed, participants with an e-bike will be disqualified on the spot and taken out of the race. In this case, the entry fee cannot be returned.

  • Approx. 200 m from the start (classic + ultra) is a narrow section at the subway. The race control car will not start the race until AFTER the underpass.

  • Each participant must have an individual insurance policy taken out with an insurance company licensed in Austria, which covers the legal liability for personal injury and property damage including appropriate health insurance, in an amount appropriate for such events.

  • The race control car must NOT be overtaken (otherwise disqualification will occur).

  • The organiser accepts no liability for the content of kit bags, for any damage or loss. No valuables should be put in the bags.

  • Participation in the Glocknerkönig ends for the participant with leaving the finish area at the Fuscher Törl (Classic) or on the Edelweissspitze (Ultra) as well as with the premature abandonment of the race.

  • You agree that the data you provide will be recorded and used for circulars and the sending of invitations to tender and advertising, among other things. The right of revocation applies at any time. 

  • Your personal data will be transmitted with the registration to our time management company Datasport in Switzerland. Both Datasport and the Glocknerkönig guarantee that this data will not be passed on to third parties. Only your name, year, nation and if applicable your team will be published on the start and result lists.

  • Drugs and doping are prohibited (unannounced controls are possible).

  • Before participating, you must familiarise yourself with the race course, facilities, equipment and areas belonging to the event. Should you come to the conclusion that there is a safety risk, race management must be made aware of this immediately. 

  • For underage participants, the parent or legal guardian confirms the competition regulations and organisational guidelines by registering. The starting documents will only be issued to minors if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

  • At the Glocknerkönig, photos and films are taken. This material is published to present our activities in the online (website, social media) and print areas (press work, folders, etc.). Please inform us, if we are not allowed to publish your pictures: glocknerkoenig@bruck-fusch.at 

  • Our partner Marathon-Photos.com receives the names and e-mail addresses of the participants so that personal pictures can be offered after the event. You can object to this use of data directly during registration in order not to receive any photos. 

  • The Covid-19 ordinance in effect at the time of the event must be strictly adhered to.

  • Salvatory Clause: If individual terms of the registration (=contract), race rules or organisational guidelines become ineffectual or impossible, or become so after agreement of the contract, other elements remain in force. In place of the elements that have become ineffectual or impossible, effective and possible replacements will take effect that match them as nearly as possible to achieve the business aim that the contractual partners had agreed on with the former elements. The aforementioned terms remain in effect if there seem to be any gaps in the contract.
