- ACCEPTANCE
- The rules of the competition are those contained in these regulations. Participation in any of the 100x100Half events implies acceptance of these rules.
- EXCEPTIONS
- Competition rules may vary at the various venues to accommodate certain requirements, local ordinances or race environment. The athlete's guide for each venue will specifically address any exceptions to the competition rules.
- MODIFICATIONS
- These rules were amended on 08/04/2024. The latest update includes changes to the participation modalities, SPRINT league specifications, inclusion of PLAN B, the prize table and some minor changes.
- PLACES
- Each modality will be able to accommodate a maximum of 500 runners, without exceeding 2000 participants per race. The organisers reserve the right to increase or reduce the number of places. No registrations will be accepted on the day of the race.
- REGISTRATION
- Participants must have correctly completed all the steps and requirements of registration. Registration does not confirm the place without the corresponding payment. Once the payment has been formalised, the registration fee will not be refunded, with some exceptions. False documentation of the data entered in the registration form will result in their deletion from the race database, with no right to a refund. The registration fee includes: participation fee, taxes, runner's bag, refreshments, race bibs, chip timing system, instant rankings, cloakroom service, finisher's medal and accident insurance. The registration fee does not include accommodation or travel expenses that the athlete may incur by participating in the race.
- CANCELLATIONS
- The administration fees include the option of cancellation as long as it is justified and with a minimum of 15 calendar days before the date of the event. After this period, it will not be possible to refund the registration fee. The administration fees are NOT refundable under any circumstances. The accommodation or travel expenses that the athlete may incur by participating in the event are in no case the responsibility of the organisation, which is why they will not be covered by the organisation under any circumstances. For the admission of the justification that allows the cancellation and refund of the amount, the corresponding documentation must be presented. Any request related to this matter must be processed either through the contact form on the website or by sending an e-mail to info@100x100half.com.

- MODIFICATION
- The race director has the power to make the necessary modifications to ensure the safety of the participants at all times. The suspension of any of the segments due to weather conditions does not imply the suspension of the race. In the event of adverse sea conditions, the race director may modify or cancel the swim segment before the start of the race. The triathlon will be run with the application of PLAN B. In case of adverse conditions on the bike segment, the race director may modify or cancel the bike segment or part of it before the start. The triathlon will be run as an aquathlon. The organisers reserve the right to modify or cancel any of the segments for safety reasons in accordance with the provisions of Annex II of the General Traffic Regulations with regard to the traffic-related powers of the authorities (Police of the Generalitat-Mossosos d'Esquadra).
- In any of the above cases, the triathlon would be considered as partially contested for all purposes. (A fully contested triathlon is one in which all three segments are completed).
- CANCELLATION
- If, for reasons beyond the organisation's control, the entire competition or any of its modalities at a venue should be cancelled or suspended, no refund of registration fees will be made. The causes beyond the organisation's control are understood to be meteorological phenomena or of any other nature. In such a case, the event may be replaced by another venue within the same year. If the cancellation or suspension occurs in the last competition of the year, the change of venue shall be extended until the first competition of the following year. The cancellation of two sectors in any of the venues would mean the cancellation of the whole competition. The minimum requirement for the dispute of any of the modalities in any of the venues is the completion of two segments.
- Modification of the swimming segment. If the length of the swimming segment is modified due to meteorological phenomena (waves, temperature, visibility...), the segment will be considered valid for all purposes.
- Cancellation of the swimming segment. If the swimming segment has to be cancelled for safety reasons (waves, temperature, visibility, external risks...), the triathlon will be contested in PLAN B format. PLAN B replaces the swimming segment with the running segment, dividing in half the section to be contested in normal conditions. In other words, in the case of the SPRINT format, the sections would be as follows: RUN (2.5 kms) BIKE (20 Kms) RUN (2.5 kms). In the case of the OLYMPIC modality, the sections would be RUN (5 kms) BIKE (40 kms) RUN (5 kms) and in the case of the HALF modality they would be RUN (10 kms) BIKE (90 kms) RUN (10 kms). In the Aquabike modalities (M and L), the competition will be considered as cancelled.
- Modification of the cycling segment. If the length of the cycling segment is modified for safety reasons (visibility, flooding, accident...), the section will be considered valid for all purposes.
- Cancellation of the cycling segment. If the cycling segment has to be cancelled for safety reasons (visibility, flooding, accident...), the triathlon will be contested with the rest of the segments with the swim starting as normal.
- Modification of the running segment. If the length of the running segment is modified for safety reasons, the segment will be considered valid for all purposes.
- Cancellation of the running segment. If the running segment has to be cancelled for safety reasons, the triathlon will be contested with the rest of the segments with the swim starting normally.
- As a general rule, the triathlon will be considered partially contested for all purposes if a minimum of 2 of the 3 modalities can be held, be it any of them or PLAN B is applied. In any of the above situations, the venue will be scored at 66%.
Cause Trails Score No SWIM PLAN B: RUN(1/2)+BIKE+RUN(1/2) 66% No BIKE SWIM+RUN 66% No RUN SWIM+BIKE 66% No SWIM / No BIKE Test Cancelled - No SWIM / No RUN Test Cancelled - No BIKE / No RUN Test Cancelled - - If, for reasons beyond the organisation's control, the entire competition or any of its modalities at a venue should be cancelled or suspended, no refund of registration fees will be made. The causes beyond the organisation's control are understood to be meteorological phenomena or of any other nature. In such a case, the event may be replaced by another venue within the same year. If the cancellation or suspension occurs in the last competition of the year, the change of venue shall be extended until the first competition of the following year. The cancellation of two sectors in any of the venues would mean the cancellation of the whole competition. The minimum requirement for the dispute of any of the modalities in any of the venues is the completion of two segments.
- INTERRUPTION
- In the event of an unscheduled interruption of an individual competition after the start:
- Athletes who have completed at least two segments will be scored according to the position as indicated by the last available recorded data.
- An athlete who has not completed at least two segments will be listed in the results list as DNF (not finished).
- If all athletes are stopped before the end of the second segment, the competition shall be restarted, if possible. Otherwise, no results shall be recorded.
- If the course is laid out in laps, the segment where the interruption occurs shall be considered as contested if the first rider (leader) has passed 50% of the total distance of the segment. In the event that the interruption occurs and the 50% threshold has not been exceeded, the competition shall be restarted as soon as possible.
- As a general rule, the triathlon will be considered partially contested for all purposes if a minimum of 2 of the 3 modalities, whatever they may be, can be held.
- In the event of an unscheduled interruption of an individual competition after the start:

Partially contested events will score the proportional part of the contested segments. In the case of the suspension of one of the segments and the running of the other two segments, the venue will be scored at 66% (Partially contested Triathlon). In the case of the application of PLAN B, the venue will be scored at 66% (Partially contested Triathlon). The 2024 competitions are:

CONDUCT OF PARTICIPANTS
- REGULATION
- The participant is obliged to respect the rules of behaviour set out in these regulations. Offences of a certain severity will be punished in accordance with the sporting discipline regulations.
- ABANDONMENT
- A competitor who abandons the competition is obliged to remove his bib and inform the judges of his abandonment. He must withdraw at a checkpoint. Only a serious injury will justify a participant abandoning at another point on the course, as this would imply a land or air rescue.
- TRANSFER
- The organisation only undertakes to transfer the participants to the finishing point of the race when they have abandoned at a control point with motorised access. The organisation will not return participants who have abandoned until the race has finished, in order to ensure the optimal development of the race.
- ENVIRONMENT
- At all times the participant is obliged to respect the environment of the area in which the event is held, not leaving objects or acting in an aggressive manner with the environment. Protected areas, such as nature reserves or natural parks through which some of the races referred to in these regulations take place, have their own regulations, which participants must abide by and respect. Participants must conserve and preserve the environment by acting responsibly and behaving in an exemplary manner in the face of any adversity. Not respecting the regulations or intentionally littering outside the established areas will result in the disqualification of the athlete (DQ). Depending on the seriousness of the offence, the athlete may be expelled.
- TECHNICAL MEETING
- Attendance at the technical meeting the day before the race is compulsory. In the event that this does not take place, the information will be available in the triathlete's guide (downloadable on the website). The race director reserves the right to make changes until the start of the race day.

Any participant who is excluded from the competition, whatever the cause (injury, breakdown, exceeding the time limit) must respect the specific rules of the segment in which he/she is. In the case of the cycling section, being excluded for exceeding the time limit means that the route is open to traffic and that the participant must therefore respect the traffic rules.
- VOLUNTEERS

For this reason, the organisers, partners, sponsors and other participants are released from any civil liability. The organisers are exempt from any liability for any damage caused to participants in the race.

The cut-off times shown in the attached table include the transition times. If an athlete finishes a segment before the established cut-off time, the remaining time will be added to the next segment.
- The cut-off times for each section shall be:
Half | Aquabike L | Aquabike M | Olympic | Sprint | |

TRIPOINTS
- WHAT ARE TRIPOINTS?
- Tripoints is the 100x100Half points programme.
- HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Each registration or purchase made through the web form, generates TRIPOINTS. Every €10 purchase generates 1 point (1 TRIPOINT).
- Each point is worth €1.
- Points can be accumulated with no expiry date. They can be used at any of the venues.
- Bonus for improvement of positions in the competition with respect to the previous edition, same venue and same modality. Bonus of 2 points for the improvement of between 1 and 5 positions and 5 points for the improvement of 6 or more positions.
Example: In the year 2023, you finished in 43rd position overall in the olympic modality in the Empuriabrava venue. In 2024, in the olympic modality of the Empuriabrava venue you finish:
44 overall = you earn 0 extra points
38 of the general = you win 2 extra points (you improve 5 positions)
23 of the general = you win 5 extra points (you improve more than 5 positions) - Disqualification for DRAFTING is penalised with 1 point.
- In no case shall points be credited in euro.
