Supplies

5 feed zones will be provided for the Roc Marathon. The organization will provide sufficient drinks and food for all riders.

These feed zones are accessible with a car without crossing the courses so that spectators or teams can get there. A plan of the different feed zones of the BIG Roc Marathon will be at the disposal of the riders at the registration area onsite and at the website later on.

Rules & regulations

The Roc Marathon will be ridden with a timing chip and a start in waves. The time per rider is calculated according to the net-time principle (from the moment you cross the starting carpet until you finish).

Minimum age: 19 years old (born in 2004 or before).

In case you take part in the Roc Marathon with an e-bike, you will be timed but you will not appear in the rankings.
