The WMOC organiser hopes that all clubs will confirm their competitors (name with EMIT-card number and class information) to Midnight Sun Race when picking up club packages from EC. A competitor must use same EMIT-card and numbers what he/she is using in WMOC/FRWD-Cup.

All competitors in Midnight Sun Race must register at the registration desk close to Finish where EMIT-card is checked. Those competitors who haven’t made their entry in advance could do that at the registration desk for price 15 €. Registration starts at 1900. At the registration desk a competitor will get a ”start ticket” with start information. A competitor could start freely between 2000 - 2330 by giving his/her “start ticket” to Start’s officials. In every heat the best runner and two random drawn competitors will get prizes.
