The mountains can be inaccessible and communications can be patchy. In case of injury, you must notify HIGHLANDER staff at checkpoints and/or call emergency services by dialling 112 (as described in your HIGHLANDER ID received at registration).

• Checkpoints are positioned to allow easy vehicle access
• Consult checkpoint staff in case of a mild injury or if withdrawing from HIGHLANDER
• HIGHLANDER staff includes medical and Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) personnel
• Serious injuries will be handled by the MRS and available emergency services.
• Staff will call or text you if you do not appear at the checkpoint during opening hours. If you are unavailable, the organizers will contact Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, who will decide when to start a search and rescue
• Search and rescue will be launched by the appropriate services only in cases of immediate danger to a participant’s life or health

If you hike with your Walkie-Talkie get in touch with us and asure additional safety.

All our Checkpoints will use Motorola PMR466. Anyone who has a problem can let Checkpoint know through the public channel 3. If you don't have a Walkie-Talkie, you can get one in HandyShop.
