What is the weather like in October in Puerto Peñasco?
For the date of the race we will find very pleasant weather with maximum temperatures around 29 to 30 degrees Celsius.

But remember that solar radiation in the desert is usually very high and although in October we are in the average levels of radiation in this area we must take this into account to prepare our equipment well and make sure we hydrate well.

On the dates of the race we will have sunrise around 6:40 am and sunset around 17:50 hr
If you are going to run the Ultra Trail remember to include in your Drop bag a light coat preferably windproof to spend the afternoon and evening at the camp.

When and where will the kit delivery take place?
The delivery of kits will take place in Puerto Peñasco on Friday, October 21 from 12:00 to 21:00 hr. We will announce the exact location of the delivery well in advance on our social networks.

What will be the camp logistics?
The camping area for the Ultra Trail and Mega Deesert Run competitors will be located between the fishermen's camp and San Jorge Beach in Estero la Pinta. No one who is not a competitor or event staff will be allowed to enter the camp, so it is very important that you have everything you will need in your Drop Bag, which you will hand in at the kit check. Remember that your Drop Bag cannot exceed 55 x 40 x 25 cm.

In the camp you will find a tent area, where the necessary tents will be installed to accommodate all competitors at the rate of 2 competitors per tent. The tents will be assigned by the organization and you will know which is your tent from the delivery of kits.
You will also find an area of toilets and showers. We ask you to be very conscious about water rationing, remember that we are in the desert and every liter counts.
We will also have a dining area. Three meals will be served (lunch, dinner on the 14th and breakfast on the 15th) at previously established times. Remember that if you suffer from allergies or need special food, please inform the organization at contacto@sabinocreaciones.com indicating your full name and attaching your registration form.
Finally, you will find a social area where you will enjoy amenities and you can share your experience with other participants.

What equipment should I bring?
In the description of each modality you can find the regulatory equipment. But we make the following recommendations:
-Do not skimp on weight. Although in the race you will find enough supply points, consider that any setback that may stop your march, either an injury or help to another competitor, may cause you to spend more time than normal in a certain stretch between supplies. That is why you should be prepared to be as self-sufficient as possible.
-It is advisable to wear gaiters to minimize the entry of sand into the shoe.
-Sun hats, hats or buffs with UV protection. The less skin surface you have exposed to the sun, the lower the probability of skin lesions.
-Eyebrow tweezers, we recommend carrying small tweezers to be able to extract thorns.

Where will the start for the Beach & Desert Run and Beach Fun Run be?
The start and finish for both categories, as well as Day 2 of the Ultra Trail, will be near the Estero La Pinta fishermen's camp. We will publish how to get there and where the parking lots will be set up well in advance.

If I am from outside and do not have a vehicle, how can I get to the starting point?
There will be a shuttle service to and from the start/finish area with prices and departure point that will be announced on our social networks.

How many resupply points will I find?
-On day 1 of the Ultra Trail you will find 5 resupply points. One every 10 km approx.
-On day 2 and Desert Run you will have 4 resupply points. One every 6 km.
-For Fun Run you will have 2 resupply points.

Can I receive external assistance at any point of the race?
No, no point of the race is accessible to people outside the organization. If you are traveling with your family, invite them to meet you at the finish line.

If I don't finish day 1, can I start day 2?
Yes, but you must pass a medical examination. Either you didn't finish because of a time cut or you had to abandon due to injury. The medical team of the race must evaluate you and decide if it is possible for you to continue in the next stage.

If I did not finish day 1 and I was able to start day 2, can I aspire to the stage prize?
No, you would be running with an advantage over the rest of the participants.
