The documents are collected before the start by a representative of the Border Police and returned after the finish. Participants are identified by their bibs and according to the list provided to the border authorities;

Recommendations:

• It is recommended to have medical insurance and medical check-up but not earlier than 3 days before the competition.
• It is recommended to bring a water tank or container to protect nature, using less disposable plastic cups;
• It is recommended to wear a hat to protect from the sun and to use sunscreen in sunny weather;
• It is recommended to take your bib from the previous day;
• Make sure that your phone is charged and that you have roaming.
• We recommend you to register in the site system using the "Registration" button on the top line. This way you will be able to quickly register for all events and editions of Green Foot, without having to fill in your details every time. You will also have access to some features.

Advance cancellation of participation, refund of fees and change of distance:

• The system allows a participant to opt out and receive part of their fee if this happens within a certain period before the start day. As the launch approaches, the percentage of the fee that will be refunded decreases;
• Before closing the registration on the site, it is possible to change the distance, for which an additional little fee will be charged, which you will have to pay. If the fee for the new course is higher, you will also have to pay the difference in fees. If the new discipline has a lower fee, the difference will not be refunded.
• You will find a link to these features in your profile (if you are a registered participant) and in the emails that confirm your registration and payment. If you don't see the email, check your spam folder. If you can't find it there either, write to us at mail@green-foot.net.
