12.) Participation with a dog in the Letecká 100 race is permitted but is subject to strict rules regarding safety, hygiene, and fair play:
Mandatory notification: Participation with a dog must be reported to the organizer in advance (via email). At race check-in, the owner must present a valid vaccination record for the dog.
Safety and movement: The dog must be kept on a leash or in a canicross harness throughout the entire event (including at the start and finish lines). Allowing the dog to run free is strictly prohibited to ensure the safety of other participants and the smooth running of the race.
The owner (runner) bears full legal and financial liability for any injury or property damage caused by their dog to other participants, volunteers, or third parties.
In the event of any sign of aggressive behavior by the dog towards people or other dogs (whether at the start, finish, or on the course), the organizer reserves the right to immediately disqualify the runner and remove the dog from the event premises.
Dog care: The runner is fully responsible for the dog's nutrition and hydration. No food or special services for dogs are provided at aid stations; the runner must carry all necessary supplies for the dog themselves.
The owner bears full responsibility for the dog's health and any injuries sustained during the race. The organizer does not provide veterinary services. Hygiene rules:
Dogs are prohibited from entering the indoor areas of refreshment stations (mountain huts, cabins, municipal buildings, accommodation facilities) for hygiene reasons.
At outdoor stations, dogs must not soil the area surrounding the station or consume food directly from tables designated for runners.
Classification and points: Participation with a dog is considered a non-competitive category.
A runner with a dog will not appear in the official rankings for top finishing positions (their time will be listed at the end of the results list with the note "with a dog").
Participants with a dog will not be awarded ITRA points or points for the Slovak Ultratrail League (SUT).
