揹水一戰有指定裝備嗎？ Is there any Mandatory Gears for Race for Water?
有。號碼布、手提電話、大會提供的揹水竹籃及未開封的5公升水爲揹水一戰的指定裝備。
賽事進行期間，各參賽者必須攜帶所有指定裝備走畢全程。大會有權在賽事進行中作裝備檢查，而所有參賽者必須通過於終點的裝備檢查，如欠缺任何指定裝備或指定裝備違規，將會被視為未完成賽事或取消資格，并不獲發完賽證書。
Yes. Bib Number, Mobile Phone, Race Basket and 5L Bottled Water are the Mandatory Gears for Race for Water.
Each participant will need to carry all the Mandatory Gears with them at all times to complete the entire course. There will be random gear checks during the event, and all participants will have to pass the Mandatory Gears check at the Finish Point. If any Mandatory item is missing or not up to standard may lead to disqualification. No results and certificate will be issued to those participants。
若將號碼布連計時晶片轉交其他人使用，會是怎樣？ What will happen if I exchange or transfer my Bib and Timing Chip with/to another person?
號碼布及計時晶片不得轉讓，如有代跑者，將取消參賽者及代跑者之比賽資格。
Bib and Timing Chip are non-transferable once your entry is accepted. Upon discovery of such irregularities, participants will be disqualified.
如參賽者因體力問題需要退出比賽，可於什麼位置卸水？ Where can I unload the water bottle if I cannot continue due to physical reasons?
如參賽者因體力問題需要退出比賽，可於任何檢查站或水站卸下竹籃及水，並通知大會工作人員退出，再自行安排交通工具離開。參賽者不能於任何路段上隨意卸水。
Participants who cannot continue the race due to physical reason can unload their basket and bottled water at any Checkpoints or Water Stations along the route and declare your intention of withdrawal to the Checkpoint Officials. Please arrange your own transportation for leaving. Please do not unload the bottled water at other places along the race route.
可以背包代替揹水竹籃嗎？ Can I use a backpack to carry the water instead of the basket?
大會原意是希望參賽者利用大會提供的竹籃及肩帶揹水，以感受山區居民揹水的辛酸。所以參賽者必須使用大會提供的竹籃及肩帶（不得使用非大會提供的其他容器、背囊或肩帶）揹水。
大會只接受參賽者用循環再用及可卸除的物料於大會提供的肩帶上包上軟墊以增加舒適度；或在竹籃內加有固定水樽位置的物品, 其餘一律不可接受, 如有發現將會被取消資格。在歸還竹籃及肩帶前必須自行清理及移除一切附加的物料。
The idea of Race for Water is to ask Participants to use the bamboo basket and shoulder strap provided by the Organiser to experience the hardship of peasants who carry water from faraway water source. Therefore participants must use the basket and shoulder straps provided by the Organiser (but not other carrier, backpack or straps) to carry the water.
The Organiser will only accept participants to put reusable and removable materials to wrap around the straps to provide comfort of put into the basket to fix the position of the bottled water. Other assisting materials will not be allowed. Violators will be disqualified. All add-on materials must be removed before returning the basket and straps to the Organiser.
可找非隊員幫忙揹竹籃及水嗎？ Can I ask non-team members to carry the basket and bottled water?
各種形式之協助只限於同組隊員之間。參賽者必須自行揹負竹籃及水，如有非隊員在賽事進行期間替任何參賽者揹竹籃或水，該參賽者／隊伍將被取消參賽資格。
All forms of assistance are limited to the participants within the same team. Participants must carry the basket and bottled water on their own. If a non-team member is found carrying the basket and/or bottled water for any participant during the event, the participant and team will be disqualified.
