Your tracking device is crucial, should you have an accident and require medical assistance, as it allows us to accurately determine your position and dispatch our medical services accordingly. After pressing the SOS button, please also call the emergency number to provide any additional information about the nature of the accident.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

Please note the recommended on-route protocol:

  • Stay where you are and don’t leave your injured partner.
  • If you have cell phone reception, call the emergency number on your wristband accreditation.
  • If you see a marshal or race official – make contact, as that person will most likely have a radio with them.
  • The emergency button will send your SOS signal to the Venue Operations Centre until assistance arrives and disables the SOS.
  • Remember there is only one emergency button per team. We do not recommend that the uninjured rider continues on their own before assistance has arrived.
  • If you come across another team with an injured rider, do NOT activate your emergency button, but only the unit of the injured rider.
