- Format
- 200+ Mile
- Distance
- 466 km (billed as 300 miles)
- Local start time
- 12:00 PM Sunday in central Andorra la Vella
- Duration / cutoff
- The 2026 sources disagree: 142 hours on the homepage, 152 hours in the rules PDF, and a 154-hour finish barrier on LiveTrail. The homepage also lists km 90 at 24 hours and km 330 at 120 hours; no single reconciled final limit is asserted here.
- Crew and pacers
- Crews may help runners only at the life bases named in the runner guide, within 100 m before or after each base. At aid stations, runners may be handed only food and drink, with no help with gear, clothing or poles.
- Drop bags
- Runners can use one bag of about 50 liters, which the organizer carries to every life base and then returns to the finish. The 300-mile race has no start or finish bag drop.
