vz 100 or 70 km
 

Hello from Belgium,

My csw(heron) got the VZ 40km. But what are the rules for vz 100km?
I mean: how much time do they get?, every 10km a stop?, every 10km a veterinary?, no hard roads?, is it 50km go and 50km back?.....
When and where will be a vz 100km or vz 70km?

Hi, the rules state:

"The course that the dog endurance trial is to be held on must satisfy the following requirements:
1) at least 2/3 of the course must have a natural surface (grass, field or forest pathways)
2) the course must make it possible to cover the prescribed distance (so that the start and finish are in one place)
Course shape:
a) a circuit, where only overtaking of handlers with dogs occurs, must be at least 20 km in length
b) a straight course, where overtaking and meeting of handlers with dogs occurs, must be at least 20 km in length."

Also: "The maximum distance between checkpoints is 15 km. Drinking water must be available to dogs after a maximum of 15km."

The complete official rules for SVP (endurance trial) are available from me ([email protected]) in slovak, german and english.

the mentioned citations were for the 100 km run, but are similar also for 70 km run

Hello,
thank you, but what is the maximum time? For the 40km it was 4 hours. Is it 7 hours for 70km and 10 for 100km?

Yes, that are the time limits.
