ROAD CONDITIONS IN VENETO (distance from Bologna to Auronzo)

For those arriving from Bologna on the A13 BOLOGNA / PADOVA motorway, we point out that daily queues of a few kilometers are created in the section between Occhiobello and Rovigo, with increases / delays of about 40 minutes on the normal route.

For those arriving from Belluno with the SS51 Alemagna, we point out that due to roadworks there are deviations and queues in the Longarone area and deviations and queues in the Ospitale area, with increases/delays of about 20 minutes on the normal route. In particular, on the deviation of this last stretch (Ospitale), it is recommended to be careful during the tight curves with the C4 and K4 canoe trailers.

Always on a section of the Alemagna, at Domegge, there is a mobile traffic light reducing traffic to one lane due to roadworks.

In the town of Auronzo di Cadore asphalting works are underway on the main road that crosses the town but on 30/06 the affected section should be the one beyond the intersection of Piazza Vigo with Via Zardus (access to the competition area is along Via Zardus).

If you are travelling long distances, we suggest you make stops just before or after these areas. 

WATER LEVEL CONDITIONS

The competition area of Lake Santa Caterina is formed by the dam on the Ansiei river. The riverbed between the bridges of Villapiccola (1000 meters start area) and Transacqua (finish area) is subject to gravel and debris removal works every year. Due to the commitment to the Covid 19 emergency, the Subjects who already have resources destined for these excavations (the Civil Protection in particular), were unable to proceed with the planned works last year and this year. It is recommended to pay attention to small gravel islets (depth approx. 50 cm) after the finish area and close to the bridge (the lanes located closer to the beach area).

• Access to the competition field must preferably be done on foot, parking unauthorised vehicles outside the areas dedicated to the event.
• On the days of 30/06 and 01/07 it will be possible to arrive with vehicles and trailers to deposit the canoes and kayaks in the allocated boat stands, subject to availability.
• After depositing the boats on the stands, the trailers must be parked in the appropriate areas (upstream of the river) and can be recovered at the end of the races, or shortly before.
• On 02/07, 03/07 and 04/07 (up until 13:00 approx.) up to a maximum of 2 vehicles (cars/minibuses) for groups with more than 8 athletes registered for the event can access the competition area. For all the others, only 1 vehicle allowed. Authorised vehicles will be given a PASS (on which the license plate will be shown) to be displayed and made visible before entering the competition area, from 07:00 to 19:00.
• For vehicles not equipped with a PASS, after the announcement of the speaker, the intervention of the tow truck will be required with call and removal costs charged to the owner of the vehicle.
• Vehicles with the “disabled on board” badge, or with the authorisation of the OC (disabled athlete participating in the event), will be able to access and park in the competition area without needing a PASS. 

The race secretariat is located at the finish line, on the Stella Alpina side, in the same structure as the Jury and the photo-finish and Timekeeper’s service.

From 15:00 to17:00 on Thursday 01/07 the Clubs/teams will be able to verify their registrations, bringing with them the receipt of the payment of the participation fees and whatever else may be useful for the verifications.

It should be remembered that for administrative and general matters, the Organising Committee is competent, through its representatives: for technical and regulatory matters, the Jury is competent.

The fee to be able to present a technical protest during the course of the competitions, as per ICF regulations, is Euro 75.00.

BOAT CONTROL

The boat control scale will be positioned on 30/06 and 01/07 near the boarding pontoons, close to the canoe stands, so that the athletes can easily access the scale and check the boat weight.

On 02/07, 03/07 and 04/07, the boat weight scale will be positioned in the vicinity of the Jury and Race Secretariat structure. It will be possible to check boat weights from 07:00 to 07:45 in the morning and at the end of the day of competition, until 19:30.

The scale will be reserved for routine checks at the end of each race. It will not be possible to check the weight of the boats while the races are in progress.

As per the current COVID-19 Protocol, the medal ceremonies will be conducted at the end of each final. The athletes must take the medals directly from the tray. The winning crews must present themselves with the same uniform/race shirt.
