Bib collection

During the days leading up to the competition it will be possible to pick up your bib at the race office located at the Becca Village at the Guido Saba Sports Area in Plan Félinaz (Charvensod) at the following times:

• Thursday 18 July from 18:00 to 21:00;
• Saturday 20 July from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm

At the same time as the bib, each athlete will be given a bag (marked with the bib number) in which to insert the spare part that the organization will bring to the finish. The bag must be delivered at the appropriate area in the start area on Sunday 17 July from 7:00 to 8:00.

Any spare parts not included in the appropriate bags will not be taken care of. In addition, a bracelet will be given that each athlete will have to wear and which allows entry to the reserved areas (refreshments, showers) and free access to the Aosta-Pila cable car for the return.

NB: the bib will be issued only if the athlete has provided the medical certificate through the portalWedoSport. If this is not the case, you can still bring a paper copy of the medical certificate with you fromHand in to the race office when you pick up your bib.

Departure

The departure is scheduled for 8:30 am and will take place from Piazza Chanoux (Aosta). Given the large number of participants, three different departures will be arranged one minute apart. The athletes will be divided according to the travel time indicated at the time of registration.

Athletes will have to affix their bib on the front side of the body (chest or thigh).

Re-entry

Once at the summit, the athletes of the Aosta - Becca di Nona will descend to Comboé using a specially marked path which, in the first part, will be different from the ascent one. In Comboé you can catch your breath thanks to the refreshment point where there will also be the traditional musical accompaniment of the 'Comboé Band'.

Afterwards we will continue towards Pila (Gressan) from where in twenty minutes by cable car we will reach Aosta. Thanks to the collaboration with Pila S.p.A., also this year those registered for the race will be able to take advantage of the free descent by cable car.

Please note that in order to take advantage of the free access to the cable car it will be necessary to show the bracelet provided at the time of collection of the bib.

Where to park

It is advisable to park your car at the square of the Aosta/Pila cable car, from where you can walk to the start in 5 minutes. In this way, it will be possible to reach your car immediately once you return with the cable car.
