The GlaGla Race 2023 may occur on a very cold day (-10°c early in the morning in 2018). You have to wear a life jacket, a Long John wetsuit (or a drysuit).
You also need a leash and a life blancket + anything sweet (sugar, candy bar, etc.)
The lake temperature is usually at 4 to 6°C.
You have to report a competitor in difficulty to safety boats and give him assistance if needed.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The conditions for organizing the GlaGla Race depend on the administrative authorities managing navigation on Lake Annecy.
We insist here on certain important points to be respected so that the race can take place in good conditions, in particular because of the low temperatures expected after a very mild start to winter.
Mandatory documents to participate in the race
Each participant must have their Weezevent ticket (that Weezevent our provider of the registration tool sent you) in printed form or visible on the screen of their mobile phone. (for tandems, OC2, V2, Dragon, V6, etc, each competitor must be registered separately). Each competitor must also have a valid identity document to show.
