Special Rules for Team Participants

In TransTaurus 2025, team participants may disband their team in compulsory situations. However, after the team is disbanded, only one member is allowed to continue the activity. The rider continuing individually from the disbanded team will receive a 5-minute penalty. The other member, who is no longer part of the race, may choose to continue the course without ranking and may assist the organization as a sweeper if they pass checkpoints within time limits.

Complaint and Appeal Process

Each day after stage results are announced, participants must submit their complaints to the activity director within 30 minutes. They are responsible for providing any related video or photographic evidence. All issues between participants will be resolved through face-to-face meetings with the mediation of the activity director.

Other Important Rules

The activity will proceed in groups. Each day before the start, the activity director will ride the course by motorcycle, and once the first checkpoint is passed, the start will be officially given at the announced time by the general coordinator.

Motorcycles ensure the activity is carried out in accordance with the rules. Participants must not leave any trash or waste in nature. Holding onto motor vehicles or drafting behind them is strictly prohibited.
