Te Moorea Club Asociation confirms the registration of all competitors authorised to take part in the sporting events. Therefore, any participant in a sporting event must previously have received a confirmation of his/her registration. If someone has not received any registration confirmation, they are not allowed to participate in a sporting event in whatever manner.

These rules must have been read before registration. By applying for registration, any competitor accepts the rules of the event and commits him/herself to abide by such rules.

Should a competitor not abide by the rules, the organising committee may disqualify him/her.

Supply points will be located along the course, except for the Painapo Raid. At the finish line, a supply stand will provide drinks and fresh fruits to contestants.

Team participation may consist of teams of three women, three men, or mixed teams. Individual participation is for people who are not residents of French Polynesia, within the limit of 50 subscriptions (licence holders of the French Polynesian Federation of Athletism or of the Tahitian Federaton of Triathlon may also apply if they want to participate individually, subject to availability). For athletes who would like to take part in the race but who do not make up a complete team, the organising committee may help them by putting them in contact one with another.

Any runner who is on the verge of being overtaken shall give way because the path is narrow at some points.
