INFERNO – AN OUTDATED FORM? The INFERNO has cult status. Probably no one in the endurance scene doubts this fact. Nevertheless, a slight drop in the number of participants has been recorded in recent years, especially in the Team Trophy teams of four. Potential INFERNO participants can be divided into three groups: athletes in Group One say to themselves; «The INFERNO is still too much for me, I'm not ready for it yet!» For Group Two, the INFERNO is just the thing as an individual or in a team. And for Group Three, the INFERNO is a good introductory competition to go on to tackle really tough races (such as a triple triathlon). We, the organizers, wish to impress on endurance athletes that a top performance in a team is also extremely rewarding. Sharing the thrill of the race with team mates in the transition zones of the INFERNO Triathlon is an incomparably exciting experience! We want to continue to offer a great competition for teams and hope that your enthusiasm in 2016 will animate many triathletes or team athletes to join the start in 2017, whether as a team of four, a couple or an individual.

Something that is often given too little recognition in the media and to a certain extent by us internally, is the extremely attractive Half-Marathon up the Schilthorn. As a former runner, I can say without doubt that there are few mountain runs in Switzerland that can offer such a natural spectacle as the INFERNO Half-Marathon. The perfect way to prepare for the planned start in the following year is the Team Trophy, where the runners on the final leg complete the course from Stechelberg to Mürren. This is where you get to know the first section of the course and can assess the challenge presented by the remaining height metres to the Schilthorn. The INFERNO Half-Marathon is a typical race where you run with each other and not against each other. Anyone who ends their running career, without having competed in this race will definitely have missed something! A sporting event like the INFERNO can only be carried out thanks to considerable and tireless commitment. It would be utterly impossible to hold this event without our dynamic, motivated helpers and the financial support of our sponsors. Our patrons and partners also make an enormous contribution to its success. Our heartfelt thanks go to all these individuals, companies and institutions. Together, once again this year, we are en route to creating an unforgettable running event for each and every participant. The INFERNO – an outdated form? Definitely not!

ORGANIZATION

Following considerable hard work to establish the INFERNO Triathlon, it has grown from a «competition for a few crazy people» into a cult event on the endurance sport scene and thus one of the major summer events in the Bernese Oberland. This year the INFERNO Triathlon will be held for the 19th time, the popular INFERNO Team Trophy for the 17th time. The INFERNO Half Marathon has also become well established. It would not be possible to carry out the INFERNO event without the strong support of our many loyal partners from local enterprises, from tourism and cantonal and municipal institutions, as well as from a large number of private individuals. The OC thanks the INFERNO partners most sincerely for their vital support!

SWIMMING WARM UP

Streckenposten mit Trillerpfeife: ACHTUNG GEFAHR !

Strandbad (Lido) Thun is available for warm-up swimming sessions before the competition.

The non-swimming team members who want to experience the transition of their athletes from swimming to racing bike can travel with the racing-bike team members on the MS Berner Oberland from Thun to Oberhofen and also back to Thun. This offer is also available to escorts and spectators for a small contribution towards costs of CHF 5.– per person each way. Payment on board. (Starts, finishes, transition areas, pages 26/27).

WARM CLOTHING It can get cold in the Alps even in summer. This is especially the case for triathletes who are underway between Mürren and the Schilthorn in the late afternoon and early evening: organize warm, dry clothing in Mürren (see competition rules, pages 38 – 41).

Windschatten- Fahren (Drafting) ist nicht gestattet

Berglauf Das Tragen eines Hartschalen-Helms ist auf der ganzen Strecke (auch in Aufstiegen) obligatorisch

ALTERNATIVE COURSE

Keine Begleitung von Läufern durch Fahrzeuge und Bikes

If the swimming discipline is cancelled because of weather conditions, it will be replaced by a running discipline.

BAN ON MOTOR VEHICLES A ban on motor vehicles will apply to the sections Grosse Scheidegg (from Schwarzwaldalp to Grindelwald), Kleine Scheidegg (from Grindelwald Grund to Lauterbrunnen) and to Grön (between Sigriswil and Beatenberg). These areas may only be reached by bike, on foot or with public transport.

CLEAR VISIBILITY

COMPETITION RULES The Triathlon and Team Trophy are carried out in accordance with the Swiss Triathlon Federation rules. Slipstreaming is prohibited. Additional rules valid for the INFERNO events are found on pages 38 – 41. Participants in the Team Trophy: Please specifically note the CONDENSED RULE BOOK (page 41 and on the back of the start number bib)!

ADDITIONAL CATERING Thanks to Isostar, the official INFERNO catering service, there is no basic need for additional nutrition. Personal catering for athletes may only be provided at the official catering points (competition rules, pages 38 – 41).

BIKE BOTTLES

ATHLETE BRIEFING

Bike bottles will be removed from bikes. Athletes who wish to keep their personal bottles are requested to remove them themselves.

Last-minute changes and route amendments will be published on the website (www.inferno.ch) at the beginning of August.

This is very important when swimming at dawn. Please wear lightlensed swim goggles.

TICKETS/TRANSPORT

RUNNING SECTIONS

TICKETS SCHILTHORN AERIAL CABLEWAY: The following journeys with the Schilthorn aerial cableway are included in the starting fee – tickets will be included with the starting documents. They are transferrable and can also used by escorts (on Saturday, 20.8.2016 also valid for the BLM section Lauterbrunnen – Mürren rail & cableway or reverse) TRIATHLON: 2 Stechelberg – Schilthorn round trips, valid from 18 to 21 August 2016 TEAM TROPHY: 4 Stechelberg – Mürren round trips, valid from 18 to 21 August 2016 Participants with start numbers can travel free on the following sections of the Schilthorn aerial cableway on Saturday 20 August 2016: TRIATHLON: Mürren – Stechelberg and Schilthorn – Mürren TEAM TROPHY: Stechelberg – Mürren and Mürren – Stechelberg HALF MARATHON: Schilthorn – Stechelberg or by BLM Mürren – Lauterbrunnen rail & cableway

It’s likely that most athletes will have to push their mountain bike shortly before Kleine Scheidegg. Please wear appropriate shoes for this around 400-metre stretch!

22

NUMBER

The INFERNO road bike and mountain bike stretches include several spectacular downhill runs that require riding skill as well as considerable care and attention from the athletes. The stretches from Beatenberg to Interlaken, Grosse Scheidegg to Grindelwald and Kleine Scheidegg to Lauterbrunnen via Wengen are dangerous if not ridden responsibly and with care!

Escorts and fans are very welcome! Please note that the accompaniment of participants along the competition course is prohibited and can lead to disqualification (competition rules, pages 38 – 41).

MEDICAL SERVICES EMERGENCY 144

MEDICAL AND FIRST-AID SERVICES In past years, the organizing committee has constantly improved rescue and alerting procedures. And so a few years ago the role of Assistants to the Race Director (ARD) was established. The specific task of the ARD is in the event of an accident, following successful medical care, to look after organizational matters, escorts, materials and contact with the OC. In this way we want to ensure that medical care is provided as quickly and efficiently as possible and also that everything else runs smoothly. The best rescue service is the one that is least used: we wish all participants an accident-free event! Ten doctors are on standby between Thun and the Schilthorn. The hospitals in Thun and Interlaken are informed of the event and two ambulances and three air-rescue organization also provide backup services. Around 100 trained first-aiders are on duty at 36 first-aid posts. An additional boat with a doctor is in attendance on the swimming section.

MASSAGE SERVICES BEOSPOMATEAM – SPORT MASSAGE SERVICE FOR SPORT EVENTS IN THE BERNESE OBERLAND REGION The Bernese Oberland Sports Massage Team has provided its services since 2005. We celebrated our premiere at the Lake Brienz Run. The Dul-X Sports Massage Service in the Bernese Oberland was limited to the Jungfrau Marathon, so we decided to set up our own team in order to provide services at sporting events in the Bernese Oberland. We attend the following sporting events: Ka-Po Bern sports day, Spiezathlon, Stockhorn Half Marathon, Glacier3000Run Gstaad, Alpenbrevet in Meiringen, INFERNO Triathlon in Mürren and the Lake Brienz Run. We are six well-trained and experienced masseuse and masseurs who for many years have offered massages at many sporting events, on duty either full or part time. Our team is made up of Sonja Wiedmer Yafimik (med. masseuse EFA), Beat Strub (medically certified masseur), Hansjörg Wäfler (Sumathu therapist, sport masseur), Cornelia Uelliger (certified professional masseuse/certified personal trainer), Sandra Brog (sport and wellness masseuse) and Veronika Gerber-Schuler (certified sport and wellness masseuse). Depending on the size of the event, many other masseure and masseurs also help out, such as at the INFERNO Triathlon, our largest event where we have 16 therapists. Many of us are also involved in the Dul-X Sports Massage service, including at the Gigathlon and Jungfrau Marathon. We have had a successful working relationship with Melisana AG (Dul-X) for many years. We offer free massages with proven Dul-X products for all participating athletes before and after the competition. We know from experience that many athletes really appreciate and enjoy our sport massage service. According to a newspaper report in the Anzeiger von Saanen, we are virtually looked on as the angels of the Glacier3000Run!» Contact address: Veronika Gerber-Schuler, Tel. 0041 33 345 60 26, [email protected]

24 TH INFERNO HALF MARATHON & 20 TH RELAY RACE SATURDAY, 20 AUGUST 2016 The INFERNO Half Marathon is the «oldest» of the INFERNO summer events. With a height difference of over 2000 metres and the finish on the 2970-metre-high Schilthorn before the unique backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau, the «devilish mountain running race» has lost none of its fascination and challenge. On the contrary: every year it draws more and more mountain runners under its spell. This year’s INFERNO Half Marathon again counts towards the SLV Trophy. The start is directly beneath the Staubbach Falls in Lauterbrunnen. The course is the same that the triathletes have to master. The first 11 kilometres of the Half Marathon seem fairly harmless, the climb of around 800 metres merely a «warm up». Immediately after the Alpinen Sportzentrum in Mürren comes the first «wall» with the Höhenlücke and Allmendhubel. The Kanonenrohr (Cannon Barrel), which is 2 grades steeper, is followed by a 2 km level section of scree before the mountain runners tackle a last around 1.5 km steep climb of 400 metres to the Schilthorn summit.
