The HUEX NON STOP has the following modalities:
The categories established for each modality of HUEX NON STOP will be the following:
IMPORTANT: In the case of RELAYS, if in any category by gender (male, female or mixed) there were not 3 or more relays of the same category, the classification of this will be general without any distinction by sex.
That is to say, if in the case of PAIR RELAYS there is only one MIXED COUPLE among all the pairs, the classification of PAIR RELAYS will be GENERAL without distinction of sex.
SUBCATEGORIES.
The subcategories are not cumulative, i.e., it is not possible to participate in two subcategories.
Important: in the case of Couples, Trios and Teams, the subcategory will be established by taking the average age in years of the team members.
E.g.: If the average of all team members is 39,83. Only the absolute values will be used, (years), in this case 39, and it would be Master 30 category.
The HUEX Non Stop has a subcategory E-Bike with the intention of giving the possibility of enjoying the event to the cyclists who use this type of bikes.
The E-Bike subcategory will have its own particular classification in the different modalities of the event: Individual, Couples, Trios or Teams 4.
To qualify for the podium, as in the rest of the categories, there must be a minimum of 3 participants in the modality.
To guarantee the correct development of the race and to avoid possible large time lags between the head of the general race and the E-BIKE subcategory, at the start of each section there will be a minimum time in which no E-Bike will be able to start.
The classification of the E-Bike subcategory will be the sum of the times of each of the 9 completed sections.
Example: Minimum departure time for section 4 starting in Almonaster: 22:00h. If an E-BIKE participant arrives at the end of Leg 3 in Almonaster at 21:15h, he/she will not be able to continue and start Leg 4 until 22:00h.
In the event that an E-BIKE participant arrives at the end of the section one hour later than the minimum imposed departure time for the next section, he/she will be able to continue the route without waiting.
This measure is aimed at not detracting from the competition or the logistical development of the event.
The awards ceremony will be held on Sunday in the Paseo Marítimo area of El Rompido at 14:00h the modalities Couples, Trios and Teams and at 18:00h the Individual modality.
