Registering

Registrations can only be made individually, not in group.

Via Internet : from September 1st to October 12th.

Procededure to follow: Once filled the registration form and payed the fee, you will receive an email, which will confirm you that your registration has been completed correctly. In this email, there will be an adjunted file with the Route Form of the walk. You must print this Route form, because you need to show it at the beginning and end of the walk in order that the code bar of the form could be read. It will also be useful to mark you’ve passed the several controls of the walk. Those lectures will prove that you’ve walked a route of 20 or 30 km, what will give you the diploma and/or the medal of the walk, as well as the registration of this activity as member of the IML or the IVV. ATENTION.- Those who do not follow this procedure and do not bring the Route Form printed it will be given in the registration point and, according to the article num. 5 of the rules, the organisation will consider that s/he has not made the registration via internet, that s/he is registrating himself/herself in person, so s/he will have to pay 2€ more. The fact that the registration via internet is cheaper than the registration in person is because the work to be done is easier than in the other way. If the procedure is not followed properly, the registration process becomes much more difficult than to registrate oneself in person, so the reduction of the price is not justified.

If, after making the inscription, the walker wants to change something, s/he never has to make a new inscription. S/he has to send an email to caminba@euro-senders.com , explaining what change has to be made, including his/her personal data. This email can only be used for asking questions or to ask for information. There's no possibility to register via this email address.

In person: October 14th, from 5pm to 9pm. Also until the end of the start time of each route in the Poliesportiu Municipal de l'Espanya Industrial (except for the 30 km route of October 16 th - the inscriptions for that route will end on October 15 th at 9 am).

Fee for registrations made and paid via internet (VISA): 8€ per person.
Fee for registrations made personally: 10 € per person.

It includes: the participation in both days' routes, revictuallings along the routes, and the needed documents to make the walks.

BARNATRESC INTERNACIONAL (10 km routes both days )

The 10 km routes of both days are part of the Barnatresc walk schedule. For this reason, it is free to participate in them, and there's no need of previous inscription. The walker only has to collect the route form at the beginning of the walk and hand it over at the end. This form has to be filled with personal data and the proves of having been in all the established controls. If the walker has his/her Barnatresc card, it's not necessary to collect any form, just to check the bar code. The start time is from 9am to 9:30am (this timetable is only for the 10 km routes). If the walker walks both Saturday and Sunday, it will count as 2 walks in order to obtain the Barnatresc pin.

Map and Guide of the Walk

The Map will be lent together with the Route Form. There, the walker will be able to find all the needed information about the walks. Those walkers inscribed via internet must collect all before starting walking.

Route Form

It is necessary to participate in all the routes, and it is used to credit the pass in the established controls. The same form will be used days for 20 and 30 km routes .

- Those walkers registered via internet DO NOT HAVE TO COLLECT IT ANYWHERE, because it will be sent in the confirmation email of the registration. Remember to print the adjunted file and bring it to the walk. Those who do not bring this form printed, it will be given in the registration point, but it will be considered they are registering in person, so they will have to pay 2€ more.
- The participants who will register there personally will have it at that very same moment.
- Those who participate in the 30 km route of October 16th must have collected previously the route form in the Poliesportiu Municipal de l'Espanya Industrial, because they won't find it in the bus stop.

Revictualling and pass controls

There going to be several pass controls and revictualling controls. As it's impossible for the organization to know exactly how many people is registered in all the routes, the distribution of food and drink will be made according to what has been foreseen. This revictualling service cannot be a substitute for the nutritional needs of the walkers. Every one must foresee the food and drink will need. In the revictualling controls you will able to find, all along the route, drink, fruit, chocolate, nuts, soup, etc, but all of them are maintenance ingestions.

Health assistance

There will be health assistance for the walkers at the beginning/end of the route and along each one. There will be ambulances, too, to support them.
For any incidence, you can phone here: 616 672 173.

Medals/souvenir

There will be a medal for those walkers who: have covered two 20 km routes; have covered one 20 km route and one 30 km route; or those who have covered both 30 km routes. To get the medal, it is necessary to hand over the route form with the proves of having been in all the established controls.
