Take care of others
Drive so that you don't endanger anyone or block their way unnecessarily. People meet at different times and experiences in the trail.
There's a place in the world for everyone.

Ten simple principles that will make us enjoy our day on the cross-country runs safely and with respect.

Ten to a common lead
The FIS code is a good basis. In the field add your own judgment, consideration and adjustment speed to conditions.
Follow the signs
Respect the directories, closures and instructions of the administrator. The marking may indicate a change of route or dangerous location.
Stick to the right track
In the classic track, drive to the right if you are not passing. Skating is part of the skate space; do not interfere with the cut track for the classic.
Overtake with balance sheet
You don't have to move. When someone passes you, you can release the right side at the right opportunity; overtake with sufficient space.
When you meet, go right
When driving against each other, each of you stay on your right side. A runner climbing up the hill prefers the person who goes down.
Keep your chopsticks under control
Keep your chopsticks close to the other runners, while passing and waiting, be careful where their spikes are heading.
Adaptation of speed
Drive from the hill and in the corners to stop safely. Keep your distance and count on changing snow, visibility and traffic.
Leave a trail through the passageway.
If you stop, stand off the modified track, release it as soon as the crash takes place, if the medical condition allows.
In case of an accident, help
If anyone gets hurt or needs help, do not remain indifferent. Ensure the safety of the place and call for help as appropriate.
Stay and cooperate
If you are a witness to an accident, stay put and provide the necessary data. It will help both participants and rescue workers to explain what happened.

RULES IN PRAXI

When we meet?
A short explanatory video shows a situation that often raises questions in the trail: the opposing runner on a narrow stretch.

FIS is the foundation, every area has its own rules.
In the Czech Republic, the operating instructions for all cross-country areas are not unified into one local order. Always follow the current signs and instructions of the route manager.
Why do the rules differ?
The conditions are not the same everywhere: a classic skate track meets somewhere, a narrow ridge, protected area or a one-way track is located somewhere. Local instructions can therefore be better suited to terrain, nature protection and traffic density.
What could make this complicated?
When crossing between areas, expectations change and rules can be interpreted differently. Unambiguous labelling then leads to subjective decision-making. Unfortunately, a fair "gentleman" move cannot always be assumed - keep your distance and do not rely on the other to automatically move.
