The race number can be collected on behalf of an authorized power of attorney or by authorizing another person to collect online via Runners ID.

It will be possible to authorize another person to pick up your starting number online until the opening hours of the Marathon Expo.

The limit for reaching the finish line is 7 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.

Safety-pins will be included in the envelope containing your start number.

Timekeeping will be tracked through chips, which are attached to the back of the start number, and which must not be removed at any time during the race. NO CHIP = NO TIME! The chip is disposable and is not returned after the race.

If you are not feeling well or have recently been ill it’s best to not take part in the race. You are entering the race at your own risk. 

Along the course there will be several medical points and ambulance points. Also, there will be mobile bike groups with AED.

2. Before the race, we recommend a preventive sports health check-up.

7. Adhere to the instructions of the organisers.
8. Make sure you look around you before throwing away your cup, spitting or blowing your nose.
9. 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.
10. The refreshment stations are many metres long. Use the whole length of the space and don’t stop right at the first table.
11. 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.
12. Share your joy about completing the run with your fans only after you’ve crossed the finish line.
