※ If the route encounters road maintenance or other force majeure factors, the organizer reserves the right to change the route.

※ This event is a self-challenge activity, not a competitive race. There is no full traffic control, so cyclists should pay attention to their own safety. Participants must follow the instructions of traffic control personnel to stop or proceed, and follow traffic rules. Those who cannot comply should not register.

XIV. Supply Stations and Checkpoint Closing Times

Cyclists please bring your own cycling water bottles.

To maintain cyclist safety and event flow, special "time limit checkpoint rules" are set as follows:

※ The finish line closing time is calculated precisely as 6 hours from the starting gun.

※ Participants who fail to pass the checkpoint within the time limit should follow the guidance of staff members and comply with the alternative route planned by the event organizers (there will still be direction signs along the route, and staff members will guide at important intersections), either returning to the venue or boarding the support vehicle.

※ For participants who are stopped at checkpoints or miss intermediate timing chip records, their result certificates will show [Reference] in the rankings.

※ The mileage of supply stations and checkpoints is for reference only; actual locations will be adjusted according to current conditions.

※ Mobile medical support will also be stationed along the cycling route to ensure participant safety.
