IMPORTANT NOTES:

Make sure you are registering in the appropriate category. In case wrong information is provided or the registration does not match the requirements, the participation will be cancelled.
Registrations will close on July 21st, 2024. Registrations can be modified or cancelled until that date and once registrations are closed, modifications or cancellations will not be possible.
Participants can choose to race in the Sprint race only, Distance race only or both.
Participants racing in both Sprint and Distance races can choose only one category. It is not possible to participate in races from two different categories (ex: 300m Technical Sprint race in the Amateur category and 3km Distance race in the U18 category).
The minimum number of participants in each category is 8 persons. Under that minimum number, the category will be merged with the upper one (ex: The U14 category had 6 participants registered. Thus, participants of this category will compete together with the U16 participants).
