Due to the peculiarities of the route, competitors in wheelchairs and handbikes, as well as those starting with a running stroller, cannot enter the race!

  • In addition to all the physiological benefits, sports activities can also pose dangers, albeit to a very small extent.
  • It is important for you to consult with a cardiologist or a sports doctor before any major performance in order to assess and evaluate your possible risk factors and to screen for possible diseases. By determining these, further investigation may become necessary in the event of falling into a higher cardiovascular risk group. Their purpose is to prevent even life-threatening events.
  • Only take part in sporting events or more demanding training with adequate endurance training.
  • Do not participate in the planned event or the upcoming training sessions with upper respiratory complaints, illness associated with vomiting and/or diarrhea, fever, or injury until you have recovered.
  • If you are unsure about the right time to start again, consult your family doctor/sports doctor/orthopedic/cardiologist.
  • If you feel any unusual symptoms (e.g. dizziness, loss of consciousness, unreasonably rapid heartbeat, irregular heartbeat, suffocation, chest pain, chest tightness) during sports, stop and, if necessary, ask for help!
  • The above does not depend on the length of the sports activity, it is unique to whom what constitutes a serious performance. Be responsible for yourself, exercise smartly!
  • In order to efficiently and quickly solve health problems that arise during the event, a COMPLETING THE HEALTH SECTION ON THE BACK OF THE LICENSE NUMBER IS ESSENTIALLY IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE!

All starters must wear their start number clearly visible from the front, in full, even when using a top. The use of a triathlon start number recording device is allowed.

A 10-minute time penalty may be given to a competitor who folds his start number and wears it in a way that is not clearly visible during the race.

If the individual starter is also the first member of a team (doubles or trio), he does not have to wear the individual, indexed start number belonging to the team.

A competitor may be disqualified who, despite repeated warnings, violates the rule regarding wearing the starting number, and who does not complete the entire distance of the race - designated by the organizers - or who fills in the entry form inaccurately or incompletely with data that does not correspond to reality, and who does not use the chip use as intended.

For the sake of themselves and their fellow runners, it is not recommended for runners to listen to or use any music or other player plugged into both ears at the same time while completing the distance! The bicycle and motorcycle organizers and, if necessary, the ambulances work in the field of the race. The earphone suppresses external noises, so the runner can obstruct the previous fellow runners and the organizers and medical team who are doing their work.

In the race, roller skating, cycling, running without a starting number, and running with dogs are prohibited. A runner starting with a bicycle or roller skater companion may be excluded from the race.

We do not undertake to preserve value during the competition.
