The safety issue is for us extremely important. Two ambulances, 8 nurses and a doctor from Bangkok Hospital Samui will be on duty that day. The race has been specially designed to allow this medical staff on the scene in a matter of minutes in case of an emergency.

Adventure racing is a challenging sport, but teamwork and good sportsmanship are integral parts of making it a safe event. Pay attention to the needs of your teammates and other teams. If someone needs help, stop and help them.

Also, please come well prepared: mentally, physically, logistically.
