Checkpoints and check-in<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

All six rou\u00adtes start from Par\u00adtil\u00adle Home Guard hall, and you\u2019ll pass seve\u00adral check\u00adpoints along the way. At each check\u00adpoint, you must check in. Chec\u00adking in ser\u00adves both as proof that you have com\u00adple\u00adted the rou\u00adte and as a safe\u00adty mea\u00adsu\u00adre \u2013 this way we know that eve\u00adry\u00ado\u00adne is accounted for and that no one has been left behind. Here\u2019s how it works, from regi\u00adstra\u00adtion to the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Register when you arrive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you arri\u00adve at the Home Guard hall, you regis\u00adter your par\u00adti\u00adci\u00adpa\u00adtion. You have alre\u00ada\u00addy sig\u00adned up and paid onli\u00adne \u2013 or you can do a late regi\u00adstra\u00adtion<\/a> and pay via Swish or in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you arri\u00adve on Fri\u00adday to stay over\u00adnight, you can regis\u00adter then. If you arri\u00adve on Satur\u00adday, you regis\u00adter in the mor\u00adning upon arri\u00adval, and if you arri\u00adve on Sun\u00adday, you do so on Sun\u00adday mor\u00adning. You only need to regis\u00adter once \u2013 once you\u2019ve done so on one day, you don\u2019t need to do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety briefing and start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Befo\u00adre the start, the march director will hold a short safe\u00adty bri\u00ade\u00adfing. You then check in at the first check\u00adpoint, which is loca\u00adted at the Home Guard hall. Only once this is done should you set off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 40 km on Saturday starts at Tuve Ice Rink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are wal\u00adking the 40 km on Satur\u00adday<\/a>, you will attend the safe\u00adty bri\u00ade\u00adfing and check in at the Home Guard hall like eve\u00adry\u00ado\u00adne else. You will then board a shutt\u00adle bus that will take you to Tuve Ice Rink, whe\u00adre your march begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checkpoints along the route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\u00adre is a check\u00adpoint eve\u00adry ten kilo\u00admetres along the rou\u00adte, and you must check in at each one. Here you\u2019ll find cold water and juice, as well as hot water for a cup of cof\u00adfee, tea or hot choco\u00adla\u00adte. The\u00adre are pick\u00adled cucum\u00adbers and some\u00adti\u00admes a tasty tre\u00adat. If you are wal\u00adking 40 km, you can also get help with sore feet at one of the later checkpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You cross the finish line at the Home Guard hall. To be counted as having finished, you must check in one last time at the final check\u00adpoint the\u00adre. Wit\u00adhout this, the march is not regis\u00adte\u00adred as completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
