Runners will be predominantly directed by the wooden milestones, while the presence of onlookers will be merely circumstantial. Orienteering also plays an important role within the competition.

Since the race is on the environment of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011, the onlookers or additional signage will be made with reusable and environmentally compatible items.

The route planner for any of the 4 races can be found on the official race website (www.travessamallorca.com). Any changes or modifications to the route will be published on the website, as well as on the social media profiles of the Travessa Mallorca on Facebook and Instagram. The route may be changed due to issues with administrative permits.

If the timing chip are used incorrectly the time reading could be wrong. With this timing system the runners can be follow through Elitechip.net being able to see the passage time on every provision station. There’s the possibility that some runners of the longer distances must wear a GPS tag for the organizers to enable a live tracking of the race. The organizers will place control points along the route to ensure that the runners complete the route, as well as recording the time of each runner.
The organizers will place undisclosed checkpoints along the track to avoid any cheating, such as shortcuts. Any runner who does not pass by these checkpoints will incur time penalties which if they are accumulative and repetitive, can lead to disqualification.

Any complaint on this matter should be supported by a photograph or video in which the runner is identified as well as the exact point on the route. If the claim is found to be true, it can lead to the disqualification of the runner.
