  • A competitor may be disqualified if, despite repeated warnings, he violates the rule regarding wearing a start number, does not complete the entire distance of the race - designated by the organizers - or fills out the entry form inaccurately with inaccurate or incomplete data, or does not use the chip for its intended purpose.
  • It is NOT RECOMMENDED that runners listen to or use any music or other player that dampens outside noise while running, plugged into both ears at the same time.
    • Due to the multi-lap race route, runners are constantly overtaking each other, while bicycle and motorcycle organizers and, if necessary, ambulances are at work.
    • The headphones suppress external noise, so the runner may disturb previous runners and the organizers and medical team doing their work.

On the day of the competition

It is always worth listening to the race announcer! Some things may change or be modified on the day of the race and this is the only way we can inform you about them.

Meeting point

We will set up a "Meeting Point" sign at the race center, clearly visible from afar, so that fellow runners, schoolmates, relatives and fans can meet up around it. If you are coming to the race with a group or class, this is a safe spot where you can meet up even in the large crowd. Before you start, coordinate the exact meeting place after the run with your fellow runners and chaperones.

Information

At each of our races you will meet a dedicated information team who will help you navigate not only the specific race. If you are interested in details of other BSI races, or would like to register for other running or walking distances this year, look for the BSI information tent in the Race Center area!

Lost children

Information about children who have been separated from their parents during the competition can be found at the information tent.
We ask you to turn to them for help and not to those working on the main stage!
If you find a child who is thought to be lost, please escort them to the information tent!
You can request a wristband in advance at the information tent, on which you can write the mobile number that we can call if we meet a child we believe is lost. After writing down the phone number, place the wristband on the child's wrist!

Running etiquette

Arrive on time! – to avoid the stress of waiting in line at the race center and changing rooms, to have time to meet up with friends you haven't seen in a while, or to meet new acquaintances and running companions.

Don't let a runner who didn't sign up run next to you! It's not fair to those who paid to run.

If you are running with a few other runners, do not block the entire width of the road. If you hear someone overtaking you, step aside as soon as possible and let them go. We ask that you keep the area of the race center and the route, especially at the refreshment stations, clean! Use the waste containers provided and do not litter! Restoring the race venue to its original condition is a very big task, thank you for helping us with this!
