Kondimootor 30/50/70: Tartu Urban

Kondimootor 30/50/70:
Tartu Urban

 
 

Moving for the first time Kondimootori endurance hike/ultra through the city, or so-called urban edition. Where else to start than in the organizers' hometown of Tartu? However, the trails pass through hidden nature parks and hiking trails in and around the city, so there is little, if any, time spent at traffic lights and on busy main streets. You can give your legs a workout on three trails: the 30 km fun trail, the 50 km strenuous trail and the 70 km bone-crushing trail. You can choose the pace according to your abilities - hiking comfortably, running at a brisk pace, or both in turn.

There are drink and snack points along the trail where you can refresh yourself with good and better food. There is also one larger food point where you can get proper nourishment in the form of hiking food. Our lovely organizing team will be helping and encouraging the participants at the points. Bring your friends and come and test yourself. In any case, a pleasant Saturday with a sweet sense of achievement is guaranteed!

Important information

Kondimootor is open to all who wish, but it should be borne in mind that it is still a fairly long hiking distance. Therefore, assess your fitness and ability accordingly and choose a distance (and start time) that is within your reach. The organizers do not take responsibility for any injuries, damage, etc. that may occur during the event - participants participate in the event entirely at their own risk. However, this disclaimer should not discourage you, it is a fun and exciting event!

COMPETITION CENTER: START AND FINISH

The competition center, or start and finish, is located at the Tartu Song Festival Grounds (see on Google Maps). A more detailed map of the competition center will be included in the pre-competition information letter. When you arrive, follow the directions. Kondimootori tags.

Before going to the track, you must go through the competition center, where we will register you and give you competition materials. There is a toilet available at the competition center.

The start is open. at 08.00-10.00 and the finish line closes at 23.00Competition materials will be available from 07.30.

PARKING

You can park in the parking lots of the Tartu Song Festival Grounds and, if they are full, on the roads in the vicinity. When parking, make sure that you do not block other cars or obstruct traffic. Also, follow the valid parking and traffic regulations.



TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION

There is no organized transportation and the course is a circle (start and finish are in the same place). When it comes to transportation, we recommend using the help of family or acquaintances if possible so that you don't have to drive back yourself when you're tired.

There is no official overnight stay. If desired, you must find your own accommodation.


COMPETITION MATERIALS

Competition materials will be available 30 minutes before the start (07.30:10.00 a.m.) and until the start closes (30:XNUMX a.m.). Those completing longer distances are asked to register earlier and those completing XNUMX km later. This will reduce queues.

Each competitor will receive the following materials from the starting point before entering the track:

  • Trail map

  • Race number (+safety pins)

  • Kondimootori stickers

Once you have received your competition materials and registered, you can head to the track immediately (starting at 8.00:XNUMX AM).

COURSE

The hiking/racing route is circular, meaning the start and finish are in the same place. The route passes through various hiking trails, light traffic routes and side roads in Tartu, which can be surfaced roads, gravel roads and also asphalt roads. The route is diverse and interesting, and this time there are not many meters of elevation to expect. We will send a more detailed route description in the pre-race information letter.

There are practically no trail markings or direction signs on the trail (except at points), so it is strongly recommended to use a GPS navigation device (a GPS sports watch or smartphone is also suitable) or a paper map, but the latter is an emergency option. The paper map that comes with the competition materials is not a special orienteering map! It would be good if there was a map reader or at least a technically savvy navigator in the group. Fellow hikers who you can follow or ask for help from are also helpful, but of course you shouldn't rely on that alone.

NB! The length of the trail can be calculated with a margin of error of +/- 3 km, and in case of error, the actual distance may also be longer.

The course map (PDF and various GPS formats) with marked waypoints can be downloaded. The course map and a more detailed course description will be sent to participants in the pre-race newsletter after registration closes (i.e. approximately one week before the event).

CATERING AND SNACK/BEVERAGE POINTS

We have set up the following drink and snack points on the trail (the order may change):

Short course (30 km):

  1. Drink and snack point

  2. Food stand

Long trail (50 km):

  1. Drink and snack point

  2. Food stand

  3. Drink and snack point

Bonebreaker (70 km):

  1. Drink and snack point

  2. Food stand

  3. Drink and snack point

  4. Drink station (unmanned)

At the drink and snack points, you can replenish your drink supplies and have snacks (e.g. bananas, cookies, candy, etc.). In addition, at one of the marked food points, each participant will receive a hiking food pack and hot water to prepare it. You can choose the hiking food you like from the options offered in the registration form; those who register after the official end of registration are not guaranteed a food choice and can choose from the reserve food on site. We recommend that you bring your own cutlery (spoon/spork) to reduce the amount of waste; hiking food can be conveniently eaten directly from the pack.

At the finish line, participants will be offered warm soup for refreshment.

Snack and food stations are generally quite well-stocked and you don't have to worry about going hungry. Of course, you can also put whatever you like in your pocket/bag if you wish. Water and sports drinks are also available at each station. If possible, use your own drinking vessels to reduce the number of cups you use.

The food and snack points are staffed by cheerful helpers.
