The race number must be affixed in a visible place on the chest, not folded or covered in any way. Pins for attachment can be found in the envelope with the race number.

The time is measured using a chip that is attached to the back of the starting number and must not be separated from the number throughout the race. NO CHIP = NO TIME! The chip is disposable and is not returned after the race.

The division into corridors is determined by the expected time in registration and the timeliness of your registration. Your corridor is according to “Group” on your start number. Available only for runners with the start number.

The limit for reaching the finish line is 3 hours from the start of the race (start signal by the starter). The time limit is indicated for each kilometer on the race map. Runners after this time must, for safety reasons, leave the track on the instructions of the organizer and end their participation in the race.

3. Fix your start number to a visible place on your chest and complete the details required on the reverse side. This will make it easier to provide health assistance if necessary.
4. Use the designated toilet areas.
5. Adhere to the instructions of the organisers.
6. Make sure you look around you before throwing away your cup, spitting or blowing your nose.
7. If you can’t go on any more, first cross to the edge of the course before stopping. This will prevent collisions and unexpected encounters.
8. The refreshment stations are many metres long. Use the whole length of the space and don’t stop right at the first table.
9. You can run with headphones if you want, but many bands and music points are located along the course so it would be a pity to miss them.
10. Share your joy about completing the run with your fans only after you’ve crossed the finish line.
11. Everyone’s a winner. Enjoy the run and the happiness regardless of the time.

There will be several stations on the track. Please, throw all the waste in the marked places and directly into containers. This ensures efficient recycling. 

Zones for throwing cups from refreshment stations will be specially marked on the track. Please respect these zones for cups and dispose of other packaging (e.g. energy gels, pet bottles, etc.) only in these zones. It is strictly forbidden to throw packaging outside the marked zones.
