There is a medical service at the event. If you feel unwell while running, stop and feel free to ask for help from runners, the staff at the refreshment station, or the doctors (the phone number 70-442-7000 can also be found on the back of your bib)!
In addition to decreased performance during the summer heat, you must pay close attention to health risks.
Important advice for everyone:
- Drink more than usual the day before, and drink more on the afternoon of the run before the start. You can refresh yourself with water at the water fountains located next to the Museum of Fine Arts before the start and after you arrive at the finish line.
- Dress smartly! A hat and scarf are recommended, which you can keep wet.
- Spend the period before the start in a shady place if possible!
- Don't try to run a personal best now! Run, jog comfortably, enjoy the race and the good company.
- Refresh yourself at every stop, but in moderation. The 2nd or 3rd glass of water is only for your soul, it is unnecessary for your body. Think about those who will come after you!
- It is just as important to cool yourself off outside, use the taps at the refreshment stations, and use the mobile shower where available.
- You can bring a water bottle belt or run with your own bottle!
- You can bring a sponge with you, use it in the water basins placed for this purpose at the stations!
- Pay attention to your body's signals, slow down, stop if you experience anything unusual! Know how to give up the race, you will have the opportunity to complete the distance another time.
- On the back of your race number, write the phone number of the person to be notified in case of trouble!
- Never start when injured or sick (cold, fever, diarrhea, stomach cramps, etc.)! This is especially important in the expected heat.

Current weather forecasts call for clear, sunny weather throughout the weekend. Temperatures will reach 29-32 degrees Celsius on Saturday. Such heat is a real strain on the bodies of outdoor athletes.
