The event follows mostly the Via Algarviana and requires navigation with a GPS device; a GPS/watch capable of recording at least 10 000 points and with sufficient autonomy is mandatory.

Mandatory kit includes a hydration system (minimum 1.5 L), food reserve, two lighting systems with spare batteries, survival blanket, waterproof, whistle, mobile phone and the race geolocator provided by the organization.
The entry fee varies by registration phase: €400, €450, €500. The inscription fee includes transfers (subject to request), athlete kit, aid stations, rescue service, personal accident insurance, a finisher award and limited medical support at some bases. Rules establish mandatory medical certificate, document deadlines, baggage procedures at life bases, presence checks at life bases and penalties for noncompliance.
