Self-sufficiency is the capacity to be autonomous between two refreshment points in terms of food, equipment and safety and to be able to master any problems that may arise or are foreseeable (bad weather, physical complaints, injuries...).
This implies the following rules:
- the participants have to carry with them all the obligatory items for the full length of the race
- the food and drinks at the refreshment points must be consumed on-site. Bottles or hydration packs can be filled with any beverage. When leaving each refreshment point, the competitor must have enough water and food to reach the next aid station
- a limited selection of food and drinks, which the organizers consider the proper nutrition during the competition, is offered at the refreshment points. Runners with special nutritional needs have to provide by themselves.
Family members or teams may support the participants only at some refreshment points (see Art. 10) in designated areas and according to the guidelines of the manager of the refreshment point. Support is only permitted for one person per participant.

The event also focuses on the gastronomic aspect, and therefore there are not only the traditional refreshment points but also the “Delicious” dishes. The food and beverage preference is considered a personal free choice of the athlete according to his attitudes and habits.
To ensure that the catering, a very important aspect of the event, takes place properly, the maximum collaboration of all participants is required. Only participants with clearly visible bibs pinned to the front of the shirt have access to the refreshment points.
Food and drinks will be served by the staff.

The Delicious Trail adheres to the Cortina Plastic Free protocol of the municipality of Cortina d’Ampezzo and the CAI-section of Cortina. That’s why at the refreshment points we use only certified biodegradable dish-ware.

When leaving each refreshment point, competitors must have an adequate quantity of food and water to reach the subsequent refreshment point.
Upon arrival in Pocol, every runner has the opportunity to get a warm meal inside the PalaDelicious marquee using the meal voucher worth 12.00 euros he received when collecting his racing bib. Should it not be possible to use the PalaDelicious marquee due to extraordinary events of any kind, each participant will receive a “Delicious Box” with the meals cooked by the chefs of the Cortina Delicious area.
Along the route, there are several water fountains where you can renew your water supply. You can also stop for refreshment in the mountain refuges situated along the route. Any food or drink purchased by the competitor at the refuges is acquired at his own cost.
