What is the dm family mile?

The dm Family Mile is a race primarily intended for families with children. A mile is a competitive athletic distance of 1.6 kilometers. However, the dm Family Mile itself is a non-competitive run, divided into several categories based on pace.

Registration for the dm family mile

Anyone can sign up, even without a Runners ID – that means you don’t need to have a profile with all your details set up.

Without proper registration and a race number, participation in the race is not possible.

You can pick up your race number at the Running Expo, where race numbers for competitive runs are distributed. It’s not necessary for each participant to come in person – one parent can pick up the numbers for the whole family. You will be asked to present an ID card or another form of identification. To collect numbers for other runners, it’s enough to provide their names or the order number.

Along with your race number, you will also receive a starter pack.

Starting corridors dm family mile

The start will take place on the nám. Přemysla Otakara 2 at 5 pm. You can find exact transport connections on the website of the transport company of the city of České Budějovice.

The start is in waves, with the first ones to start are the children themselves, who dare to run without their parents. Then the whole families start at a faster pace, followed by the slower runners. The last ones to start are the runners who are more likely to walk the route, families with strollers, small children on balance bikes, etc.

The division is for the safety of all runners, and for the best experience for children, who can really compete and give it their all.

Finish

At the finish line, each participant will receive a medal and a small snack. We ask that you continue smoothly into the corridor after the finish line and not prevent other competitors from completing the race.
