GENERAL INFORMATION & SCOPE

By entering the event site of the “Krone Erzberg Adventure Days” (hereinafter referred to as “event”), the visitors (all people present at the venue at the time of the event, such as participants, accompanying persons, event visitors, event partners, subcontractors and employees of the organizer, hereinafter referred to as “visitors”), submit to the site regulations and the regulations of the property owner, the property manager and the organizer of the “Krone Erzberg Adventure Days”. The site regulations apply throughout the entire event area, both on the competition routes and along the boundaries of the competition routes as well as in all immediately adjacent areas and on the entire Erzberg site, which is not freely accessible outside of the event.

​

MOUNTAIN POLICE NOTE

Visitors find themselves in an active mining area where mining takes place 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. The Erzberg is generally a closed area and access is only permitted on the days of the event and for the duration of the competition (including the award ceremony). Unauthorized entry or driving on the site outside of event times is strictly prohibited by the mountain police and will invariably be reported. The mountain must NOT be entered as part of your own training. Unauthorized strolling around the Erzberg is not permitted - return transport for the Erzberg Run & Walk takes place in the organizer's buses! Violations will be reported by VA Erzberg GmbH and an action of trespass will be filed! The right to stay on the mountain is limited to the designated event area and this may not be left under any circumstances. It is strictly forbidden to leave the marked areas on the route and in the finish section during the event. It is not permitted to enter the edge areas of the floors. A safety distance of at least four meters must be maintained from drop-off edges and we strongly advise you to use the route and sidewalks in the middle. The instructions of the security staff and the organizer staff (recognizable by the colored CREW passes or high-visibility vests) must be followed without restriction. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the premises. In the event of violations of the safety requirements and any resulting damage, the organizer assumes no liability whatsoever!

SAFETY INFORMATION

Termination of participation

In the event of an unscheduled termination of participation in the event (e.g. health problems, etc.), participants and visitors must immediately contact the nearest marshal or crew member (recognizable by the event shirts, crew passes or high-visibility vests). If necessary, this person will inform the emergency services and/or the race management and the affected participant/visitor will be safely driven out of the area. In any case, the independent march back is only possible after consultation with the course staff and only along the designated racing or visitor route (at the Erzberg Dirtrun) or the transport from the route takes place with organizer buses (Erzberg Run, Erzberg Walk, Vertical Iron Sprint).

​​

Emergency evacuation

In the event of a storm, all visitors must take appropriate protective measures on their own responsibility (no staying under trees, near water, etc.). If the event is canceled due to weather-related circumstances (e.g. severe thunderstorms, storms, hail, etc.) or other serious events, this will be announced by the siren sounding three times. In this case, all visitors must quickly go to the nearest assembly point. The location of the meeting points will be announced regularly by the area announcer over the sound system before each competition or will be announced in writing in the safety information for the event. Buses then pick up the visitors from the collection points and bring them to safety. The safety information will be sent to all registered participants by email before the event or will be handed out on site upon access to the site. Participants need to inform their accompanying people and supervisors about the advertised safety information.
