Putting them out and taking them in is the job of volunteer teams, with the course split into sectors, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.s1trail.com\/en\/servizio-scopa\/\">sweep service<\/a> closes the line.<\/p>\n      <p>On the same pass we pick up the litter we find along the course, including what we didn&#8217;t leave ourselves. It has always been this way: we come off the trails leaving them cleaner than we found them. We ask the same of competitors \u2014 litter is left at the refreshment points, where the bins are, and dropping it along the course costs a 60-minute penalty.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <figure class=\"s1-bal-split-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.s1trail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7300-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Segnaletica di percorso posata lungo il sentiero\" loading=\"lazy\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.s1trail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7300-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Segnaletica di percorso posata lungo il sentiero\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"s1-bal-space\"><\/div>\n\n<section class=\"s1-bal\">\n  <div class=\"s1-bal-note\">\n    <p><strong>Lost the markings?<\/strong> Stop and retrace your steps to the last one you remember: it&#8217;s almost always quicker than trying to cut back onto the route.
