“PLOGGING ON THE VESPERS PATH”

November 13, 2022

PREMISE

Littering—the abandonment of small and very small pieces of waste—is a widespread phenomenon. It contributes at least 75% of the waste concentration in water bodies, particularly in the sea. Combating littering is a priority for global authorities and the European Union. Specifically, the European Union has designated May 10th as the European Clean Up Day.

Among the measures deemed most effective were awareness-raising and communication. Promoting environmental awareness through sporting events has become an increasingly widespread practice in recent years, leading to the drafting of the International Charter for Sustainable Sporting Events, or the Courmayeur Charter.

REGULATION

DESCRIPTION

The “PLOGGING SENTIERO DEI VESPRI” takes place on the San Rizzo hills with departure and arrival from the 4 “DON MINICO” roads with an obligatory stop at the church of Santa Maria della Scala “LA BADIAZZA” (see route at the bottom of the page).

The competition will be open to athletes over 18 years of age, and to children at least 10 years of age if they compete with at least one parent or a specifically authorized adult.

The event will take place on Sunday, November 13, 2022, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

The race will be held in a single heat lasting 3 hours with a total distance of 2 km,

The athlete will be provided with 3 bags identified with the same number as the bib, and will be able to collect any micro-waste they find along the way.

During the race you can leave the bags you have already filled, but to avoid disqualification you must bring all three bags with you to the finish line.

Upon arrival, a score will be calculated based on the time taken and the weighing of the waste, which the organization will carefully separate by type. The score will then be determined based on the CO2 conversion table.

A technical meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. on November 13, 2022, to provide the necessary information for the smooth running of the event and the delivery of the following materials:

garbage collection bags matching the bib, safety gloves.

The race starts at 9.30am

The race ends at 12.30pm

Awards ceremony at 3:00 pm

Art. 1) PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

The first “PLOGGING SENTIERO DEI VESPRI” will be held with the first THIRTY people registered on the official platform.

To participate it is essential:

• Be in good physical condition, confirmed by a non-competitive sports medical certificate or a self-certification. (See the downloadable form.)
• Attend the technical briefing to be held at 9:00 a.m. on November 13, 2022
• Sign this regulation in its entirety to accept it (pre-authorized by completing the online form)
• Sign the release and privacy policy (pre-authorized by completing the online form)
• PLOGGER athletes must carry a mobile phone capable of transmitting their GPS location. This is necessary for communication in the event of illness or disorientation.
• Furthermore, the cell phone in question will be useful for taking a photo of yourself and the Badiazza church, demonstrating that you have reached the control station. It will also be useful for photographing bulky waste and reporting its location via GPS. This will allow us to create a map of the macrowaste, allowing for subsequent intervention.
• Have paid the registration fee of €3.00 (three/00 euros) for each participant, which is required for insurance coverage and the race pack.

Art. 2) SCORE

The score for the ranking process will be calculated as follows:

FIRST CRITERION

1 point for every minute under the 180-minute time limit. Exceeding the time limit will result in disqualification.

SECOND CRITERION

1 point for every gram of CO2 saved.

This count will be carried out by the organizer's technical office, translating the weight of each individual object/waste collected and delivered at the end of the race, via the official bag provided at the start, into CO2 equivalent.

CO2 does not coincide with weight, but depends on the type of material, as shown in the following conversion table:

1 g of paper/cardboard = 1.13 g of CO2

1 g of plastic/metals = 1.80 g of CO2

1 g of undifferentiated waste = 7.98 g of CO2

1 g of wet = 2.60 g of CO2

1 g of glass = 0.44 g of CO2

Art. 3) RANKING

The ranking is based on the total points achieved by the individual athlete/participant.

Art. 4) RELEASE AND MEDICAL CERTIFICATE

For each athlete, a RELEASE FOR USE OF IMAGES is required. (as above)

The organization reserves the right to request any other certifications, according to the indications of future regulations issued at national level aimed at containing the SARS COV 2 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Art. 6) CHANGES TO THE RACE FIELD OR CANCELLATION OF THE RACE

The organization reserves the right to modify the competition area at any time. The final boundaries will be communicated during the technical briefing.

In case of adverse weather conditions (severe low-pressure system with heavy rain and snow at high altitude, high risk of thunderstorms, etc.), the start and/or finish times may be modified, possibly shortening the overall race time.

Only in the event of an extreme emergency and intervention by the higher authorities can the race be cancelled.
